A spectroscopic study of the open cluster NGC 6250

A. J. Martin, M. J. Stift, L. Fossati +4

We present the chemical abundance analysis of 19 upper main-sequence stars of the young open cluster NGC 6250 (log t ~ 7.42 yr). This work is part of a project aimed at setting obs…

Aeronomical constraints to the minimum mass and maximum radius of hot low-mass planets

L. Fossati, N. V. Erkaev, H. Lammer +7

Stimulated by the discovery of a number of close-in low-density planets, we generalise the Jeans escape parameter taking hydrodynamic and Roche lobe effects into account. We furthe…

SALT observations of the Chromospheric Activity of Transiting Planet Hosts: Mass Loss and Star Planet Interactions

D. Staab, C. A. Haswell, Gareth D. Smith +4

We measured the chromospheric activity of the four hot Jupiter hosts WASP-43, WASP-51/HAT-P-30, WASP-72 & WASP-103 to search for anomalous values caused by the close-in companions.…

B field in OB stars (BOB): The outstandingly strong magnetic field in the evolved He-strong star CPD-62 2124

N. Castro, L. Fossati, S. Hubrig +12

The origin and evolution of magnetism in OB stars is far from being well understood. With approximately 70 magnetic OB stars known, any new object with unusual characteristics may…

An Overabundance of Low-density Neptune-like Planets

Patricio Cubillos, Nikolai V. Erkaev, Ines Juvan +6

We present a uniform analysis of the atmospheric escape rate of Neptune-like planets with estimated radius and mass (restricted to ). For each planet we c…

B fields in OB stars (BOB): Concluding the FORS2 observing campaign

M. Schoeller, S. Hubrig, L. Fossati +16

The "B fields in OB stars" (BOB) collaboration is based on an ESO Large Programme, to study the occurrence rate, properties, and ultimately the origin of magnetic fields in massive…
