Evaporation rate of hot Jupiters and formation of Chthonian planets
G. Hébrard, A. Lecavelier des Étangs, A. Vidal-Madjar +2
Among the hundred of known extrasolar planets, about 15% are closer than 0.1 AU from their parent stars. But there are extremely few detections of planets orbiting in less than 3 d…
The Deuterium-to-Hydrogen Ratio in a Low-Metallicity Cloud Falling onto the Milky Way
K. R. Sembach, B. P. Wakker, T. M. Tripp +13
Using Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer and Hubble Space Telescope observations of the QSO PG1259+593, we detect D I Lyman-series absorption in high velocity cloud Complex C,…
FUSE observations of the HI interstellar gas of IZw18
A. Lecavelier des Etangs, J. -M. Desert, D. Kunth +5
We present the analysis of FUSE observations of the metal-deficient dwarf galaxy IZw18. We measured column densities of HI, NI, OI, ArI, SiII, and FeII. The OI/HI ratio (log(OI/HI)…
Oxygen Gas Phase Abundance Revisited
M. K. André, C. M. Oliveira, J. C. Howk +7
We present new measurements of the interstellar gas-phase oxygen abundance along the sight lines towards 19 early-type galactic stars at an average distance of 2.6 kpc. We derive O…
Bulge Microlensing Optical Depth from EROS 2 observations
C. Afonso, J. -N. Albert, C. Alard +7
We present a measurement of the microlensing optical depth toward the Galactic bulge based on the analysis of 15 contiguous1 square degrees fields centered on (l=2.5 deg, b=-4.0 de…
The surprising Far-UV spectrum of the polar BY Camelopardalis
M. Mouchet, J. M. Bonnet-Bidaud, E. Roueff +10
We report on the first far-UV observations of the asynchronous polar BY Cam made by the Far-Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE). The source is known to exhibit the most extre…
