The upper atmosphere of the exoplanet HD209458b revealed by the sodium D lines: Temperature-pressure profile, ionization layer, and thermosphere
A. Vidal-Madjar, D. K. Sing, A. Lecavelier des Etangs +6
A complete reassessment of the HST observations of the transits of the extrasolar planet HD209458b has provided a transmission spectrum of the atmosphere over a wide range of wavel…
The spin-orbit angles of the transiting exoplanets WASP-1b, WASP-24b, WASP-38b and HAT-P-8b from Rossiter-McLaughlin observations
E. K. Simpson, D. Pollacco, A. Collier Cameron +18
We present observations of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect for the transiting exoplanet systems WASP-1, WASP-24, WASP-38 and HAT-P-8, and deduce the orientations of the planetary or…
SOPHIE velocimetry of Kepler transit candidates. I. Detection of the low-mass white dwarf KOI-74b
David Ehrenreich, Anne-Marie Lagrange, François Bouchy +19
The Kepler mission has detected transits and occultations of a hot compact object around an early-type star, the Kepler Object of Interest KOI 74. The mass of this transiting objec…
WASP-37b: a 1.8 MJ exoplanet transiting a metal-poor star
E. K. Simpson, F. Faedi, S. C. C. Barros +39
We report on the discovery of WASP-37b, a transiting hot Jupiter orbiting a mv = 12.7 G2-type dwarf, with a period of 3.577471 \pm 0.00001 d, transit epoch T0 = 2455338.6188 \pm 0.…
The HARPS search for southern extrasolar planets. XXIII. 8 planetary companions to low-activity solar-type stars
Dominique Naef, Michel Mayor, Gaspare Lo Curto +17
In this paper, we present our HARPS radial-velocity data for eight low-activity solar-type stars belonging to the HARPS volume-limited sample: HD6718, HD8535, HD28254, HD290327, HD…
The Earth as an extrasolar transiting planet: Earth's atmospheric composition and thickness revealed by Lunar eclipse observations
Alfred Vidal-Madjar, Luc Arnold, David Ehrenreich +24
An important goal within the quest for detecting an Earth-like extrasolar planet, will be to identify atmospheric gaseous bio-signatures. Observations of the light transmitted thro…
