CoRoT measures solar-like oscillations and granulation in stars hotter than the Sun
E. Michel, A. Baglin, M. Auvergne +2
Oscillations of the Sun have been used to understand its interior structure. The extension of similar studies to more distant stars has raised many difficulties despite the strong…
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…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission II. CoRoT-Exo-2b: A transiting planet around an active G star
R. Alonso, M. Auvergne, A. Baglin +40
Context. The CoRoT mission, a pioneer in exoplanet searches from space, has completed its first 150 days of continuous observations of ~12000 stars in the galactic plane. An analys…
