Rocky planet engulfment in the binary system HIP 71726-37

J. Yana Galarza, R. López-Valdivia, J. Meléndez +1

Binary stars are supposed to be chemically homogeneous, as they are born from the same molecular cloud. However, high precision chemical abundances show that some binary systems di…

Radial velocity precision of ESPRESSO through the analysis of the solar twin HIP 11915

Yuri Netto, Diego Lorenzo-Oliveira, Jorge Meléndez +4

Different stellar phenomena affect radial velocities (RVs), causing variations large enough to make it difficult to identify planet signals from the stellar variability. RV variati…
