Star-Planet Interactions
Evgenya Shkolnik, Suzanne Aigrain, Steven Cranmer +6
Much effort has been invested in recent years, both observationally and theoretically, to understand the interacting processes taking place in planetary systems consisting of a hot…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission IV: CoRoT-Exo-4b: A transiting planet in a 9.2 day synchronous orbit
S. Aigrain, A. Collier Cameron, M. Ollivier +32
CoRoT, the first space-based transit search, provides ultra-high precision light curves with continuous time-sampling over periods, of up to 5 months. This allows the detection of…
DARWIN - A Mission to Detect, and Search for Life on, Extrasolar Planets
C. S. Cockell, A. Leger, M. Fridlund +47
The discovery of extra-solar planets is one of the greatest achievements of modern astronomy. The detection of planets with a wide range of masses demonstrates that extra-solar pla…
Detecting transits from Earth-sized planets around Sun-like stars
S. Carpano, M. Fridlund
Context. Detecting regular dips in the light curve of a star is an easy way to detect the presence of an orbiting planet. COROT is a Franco-European mission launched at the end of…
The discovery of an expanding X-ray source in the HH 154 protostellar jet
F. Favata, R. Bonito, G. Micela +4
We have performed, in October 2005, a deep Chandra X-ray observation of HH 154. Comparison with the previous (2001) Chandra observation allows to detect proper motion down to the l…
Comparative Planetology and the Search for Life Beyond the Solar System
Charles A. Beichman, Malcolm Fridlund, Wesley A. Traub +3
The study of planets beyond the solar system and the search for other habitable planets and life is just beginning. Ground-based (radial velocity and transits) and space-based surv…
