Habitable planets around the star Gl 581?
Franck Selsis, J. F. Kasting, B. Levrard +3
Radial velocity surveys are now able to detect terrestrial planets at habitable distance from M-type stars. Recently, two planets with minimum masses below 10 Earth masses were rep…
Origin of volatiles in the Main Belt
Olivier Mousis, Yann Alibert, Daniel Hestroffer +5
We propose a scenario for the formation of the Main Belt in which asteroids incorporated icy particles formed in the outer Solar Nebula. We calculate the composition of icy planete…
A scene model of exosolar systems for use in planetary detection and characterisation simulations
Adrian Belu, Eric Thiébaut, Marc Ollivier +3
Instrumental projects that will improve the direct optical finding and characterisation of exoplanets have advanced sufficiently to trigger organized investigation and development…
Water vapour in the atmosphere of a transiting extrasolar planet
Giovanna Tinetti, Alfred Vidal-Madjar, Mao-Chang Liang +10
Water is predicted to be among, if not the most abundant molecular species after hydrogen in the atmospheres of close-in extrasolar giant planets (hot-Jupiters) Several attempts ha…
Could we identify hot Ocean-Planets with CoRoT, Kepler and Doppler velocimetry?
F. Selsis, B. Chazelas, P. Borde +16
Planets less massive than about 10 MEarth are expected to have no massive H-He atmosphere and a cometary composition (50% rocks, 50% water, by mass) provided they formed beyond the…
