The Kepler-454 System: A Small, Not-rocky Inner Planet, a Jovian World, and a Distant Companion
Sara Gettel, David Charbonneau, Courtney D. Dressing +47
Kepler-454 (KOI-273) is a relatively bright (V = 11.69 mag), Sun-like starthat hosts a transiting planet candidate in a 10.6 d orbit. From spectroscopy, we estimate the stellar tem…
The HARPS search for southern extra-solar planets. XXXIX. HD175607 b, the most metal-poor G dwarf with an orbiting sub-Neptune
A. Mortier, J. P. Faria, N. C. Santos +16
Context. The presence of a small-mass planet (M0.1\,M) seems, to date, not to depend on metallicity, however, theoretical simulations have shown that stars with subsol…
Rotation periods and astrometric motions of the Luhman 16AB brown dwarfs by high-resolution lucky-imaging monitoring
L. Mancini, P. Giacobbe, S. P. Littlefair +33
Context. Photometric monitoring of the variability of brown dwarfs can provide useful information about the structure of clouds in their cold atmospheres. The brown-dwarf binary sy…
Coordinated X-ray and Optical observations of Star-Planet Interaction in HD 17156
A. Maggio, I. Pillitteri, G. Scandariato +14
The large number of close-in Jupiter-size exoplanets prompts the question whether star-planet interaction (SPI) effects can be detected. We focused our attention on the system HD 1…
Global Architecture of Planetary Systems (GAPS), a project for the whole Italian Community
Ennio Poretti, Caterina Boccato, Riccardo Claudi +13
The GAPS project is running since 2012 with the goal to optimize the science return of the HARPS-N instrument mounted at Telescopio Nazionale Galileo. A large number of astronomers…
The GAPS Programme with HARPS-N@TNG IX. The multi-planet system KELT-6: detection of the planet KELT-6 c and measurement of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect for KELT-6 b
M. Damasso, M. Esposito, V. Nascimbeni +39
Aims. For more than 1.5 years we monitored spectroscopically the star KELT-6 (BD+312447), known to host the transiting hot Saturn KELT-6b, because a previously observed long-term t…
Gaia: The Astrometry Revolution
A. Sozzetti, M. Bonavita, S. Desidera +2
The power of micro-arcsecond (as) astrometry is about to be unleashed. ESA's Gaia mission, now headed towards the end of the first year of routine science operations, will soon…
The HARPS-N Rocky Planet Search I. HD219134b: A transiting rocky planet in a multi-planet system at 6.5 pc from the Sun
F. Motalebi, S. Udry, M. Gillon +36
We present here the detection of a system of four low-mass planets around the bright (V=5.5) and close-by (6.5 pc) star HD219134. This is the first result of the Rocky Planet Searc…
The GAPS Programme with HARPS-N at TNG. X. Differential abundances in the XO-2 planet hosting binary
K. Biazzo, R. Gratton, S. Desidera +26
Binary stars hosting exoplanets are a unique laboratory where chemical tagging can be performed to measure with high accuracy the elemental abundances of both stellar components, w…
The GAPS Programme with HARPS-N at TNG. VII. Putting exoplanets in the stellar context: magnetic activity and asteroseismology of Bootis A
F. Borsa, G. Scandariato, M. Rainer +34
Aims. We observed the Boo system with the HARPS-N spectrograph to test a new observational strategy aimed at jointly studying asteroseismology, the planetary orbit, and star-pl…
The EChO science case
Giovanna Tinetti, Pierre Drossart, Paul Eccleston +347
The discovery of almost 2000 exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representativ…
Exoplanets with Gaia: Synergies in the Making
A. Sozzetti
The era of high-precision astrometry has dawned upon us. The potential of Gaia as-level precision in positional measurements is about to be unleashed in the field of extrasolar…
Exoplanets: Gaia and the importance of ground based spectroscopy follow-up
L. Benamati, V. Zh. Adibekyan, N. C. Santos +1
The search for extrasolar planets has developed rapidly and, today, more than 1700 planets have been found orbiting stars. Thanks to Gaia, we will collect high-accuracy astrometric…
KOI-3158: The oldest known system of terrestrial-size planets
T. L. Campante, T. Barclay, J. J. Swift +38
The first discoveries of exoplanets around Sun-like stars have fueled efforts to find ever smaller worlds evocative of Earth and other terrestrial planets in the Solar System. Whil…
The GAPS Programme with HARPS-N@TNG VI: The Curious Case of TrES-4b
A. Sozzetti, A. S. Bonomo, K. Biazzo +38
We revisit the TrES-4 system parameters based on high-precision HARPS-N radial-velocity measurements and new photometric light curves. A combined spectroscopic and photometric anal…
An ancient extrasolar system with five sub-Earth-size planets
T. L. Campante, T. Barclay, J. J. Swift +38
The chemical composition of stars hosting small exoplanets (with radii less than four Earth radii) appears to be more diverse than that of gas-giant hosts, which tend to be metal-r…
The GAPS Programme with HARPS-N@TNG V. A comprehensive analysis of the XO-2 stellar and planetary systems
M. Damasso, K. Biazzo, A. S. Bonomo +56
XO-2 is the first confirmed wide stellar binary system where the almost twin components XO-2N and XO-2S have planets. This stimulated a detailed characterization study of the stell…
