White Dwarf Stars in the Big Data Era

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT White dwarf stars are the most common endpoint of stellar evolution. Therefore, these old, numerous and compact objects provide valuable information on the late stages of stellar evolution, the physics of dense plasma and the structure and evolution of our Galaxy.

MESS (Multi-purpose Exoplanet Simulation System): A Monte Carlo tool for the statistical analysis and prediction of exoplanets search results

open access: yes, 2011
The high number of planet discoveries made in the last years provides a good sample for statistical analysis, leading to some clues on the distributions of planet parameters, like masses and periods, at least in close proximity to the host star.

The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect in Exoplanet Research

open access: yes, 2017
The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect occurs during a planet's transit. It provides the main means of measuring the sky-projected spin-orbit angle between a planet's orbital plane, and its host star's equatorial plane.

EUCLID : Dark Universe Probe and Microlensing planet Hunter

open access: yes, 2010
There is a remarkable synergy between requirements for Dark Energy probes by cosmic shear measurements and planet hunting by microlensing. Employing weak and strong gravitational lensing to trace and detect the distribution of matter on cosmic and ...

Lightning and charge processes in brown dwarf and exoplanet atmospheres

open access: yes, 2019
The study of the composition of brown dwarf atmospheres helped to understand their formation and evolution. Similarly, the study of exoplanet atmospheres is expected to constrain their formation and evolutionary states. We use results from 3D simulations,

M dwarf stars in the light of (future) exoplanet searches

open access: yes, 2012
We present a brief overview of a splinter session on M dwarf stars as planet hosts that was organized as part of the Cool Stars 17 conference. The session was devoted to reviewing our current knowledge of M dwarf stars and exoplanets in order to prepare ...

Effects of rotation and magnetic fields on the lithium abundance and asteroseismic properties of exoplanet-host stars

open access: yes, 2010
Aims: The effects of rotation and magnetic fields on the surface abundances of solar-type stars are studied in order to investigate whether the reported difference in lithium content of exoplanet-host stars can be related to their rotational history ...

Formation of stars, substellar objects and exoplanets : Observations of multiplicity

open access: yes, 2011
Many nearby stars are part of a binary or multiple system. Details about their history are preserved in their multiplicity characteristics, and observations of binary/multiple star systems provide a way to measure fundamental physical properties of the stars as well as clues to their formation and evolution.
