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…

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…

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…

The frequency and infrared brightness of circumstellar discs at white dwarfs

M. Rocchetto, J. Farihi, B. T. Gaensicke +1

White dwarfs whose atmospheres are polluted by terrestrial-like planetary debris have become a powerful and unique tool to study evolved planetary systems. This paper presents resu…

SPOTS: The Search for Planets Orbiting Two Stars. I. Survey description and first observations

Christian Thalmann, Silvano Desidera, Mariangela Bonavita +13

Direct imaging surveys for exoplanets commonly exclude binary stars from their target lists, leaving a large part of the overall planet demography unexplored. To address this gap i…
