The Planetary System to KIC 11442793: A Compact Analogue to the Solar System
J. Cabrera, Sz. Csizmadia, H. Lehmann +7
We announce the discovery of a planetary system with 7 transiting planets around a Kepler target, a current record for transiting systems. Planets b, c, e and f are reported for th…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission XXI. CoRoT-19b: A low density planet orbiting an old inactive F9V-star
E. W. Guenther, R. F. Diaz, J. -C. Gazzano +51
Observations of transiting extrasolar planets are of key importance to our understanding of planets because their mass, radius, and mass density can be determined. The CoRoT space…
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission. XIII. CoRoT-13b: a dense hot Jupiter in transit around a star with solar metallicity and super-solar lithium content
J. Cabrera, H. Bruntt, M. Ollivier +45
We announce the discovery of the transiting planet CoRoT-13b. Ground based follow-up in CFHT and IAC80 confirmed CoRoT's observations. The mass of the planet was measured with the…
An Investigation into the Radial Velocity Variations of CoRoT-7
A. P. Hatzes, R. Dvorak, G. Wuchterl +6
CoRoT-7b, the first transiting ``superearth'' exoplanet, has a radius of 1.7 R_Earth and a mass of 4.8 M_Earth. Ground-based radial velocity measurements also detected an additiona…
On the mutually inclined orbits of planets in the CoRoT-7 extrasolar planetary system
R. Dvorak, J. Schneider, V. Eybl
We propose a method to be able to decide whether the planets of CoRoT-7 are moving on mutually inclined orbits in the order of i > 10 degrees. The extrasolar system CoRoT-7 is very…
CoRoT's first seven planets: An overview
R. Dvorak, J. Schneider, H. Lammer +3
The up to 150 day uninterrupted high-precision photometry of about 100000 stars - provided so far by the exoplanet channel of the CoRoT space telescope - gave a new perspective on…
