The `666' collaboration on OGLE transits: I. Accurate radius of the planets OGLE-TR-10b and OGLE-TR-56b with VLT deconvolution photometry
Frederic Pont, Claire Moutou, Michael Gillon +14
Transiting planets are essential to study the structure and evolution of extra-solar planets. For that purpose, it is important to measure precisely the radius of these planets. He…
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…
Five new very low mass binaries
G. Montagnier, D. Segransan, J. -L. Beuzit +12
We report the discovery of companions to 5 nearby late M dwarfs (>M5), LHS1901, LHS4009, LHS6167, LP869-26 and WT460, and we confirm that the recently discovered mid-T brown dwarf…
WASP-1b and WASP-2b: Two new transiting exoplanets detected with SuperWASP and SOPHIE
A. Collier Cameron, F. Bouchy, G. Hebrard +36
We have detected low-amplitude radial-velocity variations in two stars, USNO-B1.0 1219-0005465 (GSC 02265-00107 = WASP-1) and USNO-B1.0 0964-0543604 (GSC 00522-01199 = WASP-2). Bot…
Formation and structure of the three Neptune-mass planets system around HD69830
Yann Alibert, Isabelle Baraffe, Willy Benz +8
Since the discovery of the first giant planet outside the solar system in 1995 (Mayor & Queloz 1995), more than 180 extrasolar planets have been discovered. With improving detectio…
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…
