Evidence for compact structuring in the corona of active stars
F. Favata
The ``current wisdom'' regarding the structuring of the X-ray emitting corona in active stars (i.e. a corona dominated by extended coronal structures) is briefly reviewed, followed…
Planet Detection Capabilities of the Eddington Mission
Hans J. Deeg, Keith Horne, Fabio Favata +1
Eddington is a space mission for extrasolar planet finding and for asteroseismic observations. It has been selected by ESA as an F2/F3 reserve mission with a potential implementati…
Constraints on the physical properties of the damped Ly-alpha system of Q0000-2619 at z = 3.054
G. Giardino, F. Favata
We present the detection of CII and CII* absorption in the z = 3.0543 damped Ly-alpha system toward Q0000-2619. The derived population ratio implies a fine structure excitation tem…
Detection limits in space-based transit observations
H. J. Deeg, F. Favata, Eddington Science Team
From simulations of transit observations, it is found that the detectability of extrasolar planets depends only on two parameters: The signal-to-noise ratio during a transit, and t…
A BeppoSAX and ROSAT view of the RCW86 supernova remnant
F. Bocchino, J. Vink, F. Favata +2
We present a spectral analysis of the Northern and Southwestern rim of the RCW86 X-ray shell, pointing out the remarkable differences between these two parts of the same object. In…
