Finding proto-spectroscopic binaries: Precise multi-epoch radial velocities of 7 protostars in rho-Ophiuchus

P. Viana Almeida, C. Melo, N. C. Santos +3

The formation of spectroscopic binaries (SB) may be a natural byproduct of star formation. The early dynamical evolution of multiple stellar systems after the initial fragmentation…

Comparing radial velocities of atmospheric lines with radiosonde measurements

P. Figueira, F. Kerber, A. Chacon +5

The precision of radial velocity (RV) measurements depends on the precision attained on the wavelength calibration. One of the available options is using atmospheric lines as a nat…

Transit-timing measurements with the model-independent barycenter method: Application to the LHS 6343 system

M. Oshagh, G. Boué, N. Haghighipour +3

We present a model-independent technique for calculating the time of mid-transits. This technique, named "barycenter method", uses the light-curve's symmetry to determine the trans…

Orbital migration induced by anisotropic evaporation. Can hot Jupiters form hot Neptunes ?

Gwenaël Boué, Pedro Figueira, Alexandre C. M. Correia +1

Short period planets are subject to intense energetic irradiations from their stars. It has been shown that this can lead to significant atmospheric mass-loss and create smaller ma…

Exoplanets transmission spectroscopy: accounting for eccentricity and longitude of periastron. Superwinds in the upper atmosphere of HD209458b?

M. Montalto, N. C. Santos, I. Boisse +3

Context: Several studies have so far placed useful constraints on planetary atmospheric properties using transmission spectrsocopy, and in the case of HD209458b even the radial vel…
