SPOTS: The Search for Planets Orbiting Two Stars. III. Complete Sample and Statistical Analysis

Ruben Asensio-Torres, Markus Janson, Mariangela Bonavita +8

Binary stars constitute a large percentage of the stellar population, yet relatively little is known about the planetary systems orbiting them. Most constraints on circumbinary pla…

Dynamical masses of M-dwarf binaries in young moving groups: I - The case of TWA 22 and GJ 2060

L. Rodet, M. Bonnefoy, S. Durkan +48

Evolutionary models are widely used to infer the mass of stars, brown dwarfs, and giant planets. Their predictions are thought to be less reliable at young ages ( 200 Myr) and i…

SPOTS: The Search for Planets Orbiting Two Stars: II. First constraints on the frequency of sub-stellar companions on wide circumbinary orbits

Mariangela Bonavita, Silvano Desidera, Christian Thalmann +4

A large number of direct imaging surveys for exoplanets have been performed in recent years, yielding the first directly imaged planets and providing constraints on the prevalence…

Characterisation of close visual binaries from the AstraLux Large M Dwarf Survey

C. Bergfors, W. Brandner, M. Bonnefoy +4

We present VLT/SINFONI J, H+K spectra of seven close visual pairs in M dwarf binary/triple systems, discovered or observed by the AstraLux M dwarf survey. We determine the spectral…

A Lucky Imaging search for stellar companions to transiting planet host stars

Maria Wöllert, Wolfgang Brandner, Carolina Bergfors +1

The presence of stellar companions around planet hosting stars influences the architecture of their planetary systems. To find and characterise these companions and determine their…

Signs of a faint disc population at polluted white dwarfs

Carolina Bergfors, Jay Farihi, Patrick Dufour +1

Observations of atmospheric metals and dust discs around white dwarfs provide important clues to the fate of terrestrial planetary systems around intermediate mass stars. We presen…
