On the Age of Stars Harboring Transiting Planets
C. Melo, N. C. Santos, F. Pont +5
Results of photometric surveys have brought to light the existence of a population of giant planets orbiting their host stars even closer than the hot Jupiters (HJ), with orbital p…
Kinematics of planet-host stars and their relation with dynamical streams in the solar neighbourhood
A. Ecuvillon, G. Israelian, F. Pont +2
We present a detailed study on the kinematics of metal-rich stars with and without planets, and their relation with the Hyades, Sirius and Hercules dynamical streams in the solar n…
Chemical abundances for the transiting planet host stars OGLE-TR-10, 56, 111, 113, 132 and TrES-1. Abundances in different galactic populations
N. C. Santos, A. Ecuvillon, G. Israelian +6
We used the UVES spectrograph (VLT-UT2 telescope) to obtain high-resolution spectra of 6 stars hosting transiting planets, namely for OGLE-TR-10, 56, 111, 113, 132 and TrES-1. The…
XTE J1118+480: A Metal-Rich Black Hole Binary in the Galactic Halo
Jonay I. Gonzalez Hernandez, Rafael Rebolo, Garik Israelian +3
We present medium-resolution optical spectra of the secondary star in the high Galactic latitude black hole X-ray binary XTE J1118+480 and determine the abundance of Mg, Al, Ca, Fe…
High resolution spectroscopy of stars with transiting planets. The cases of OGLE-TR-10, 56, 111, 113, and TrES-1
N. C Santos, F. Pont, C. Melo +7
Context: During the past years photometric surveys, later complemented by follow-up radial-velocity measurements, have revealed the presence of several new extra-solar transiting p…
