Four New Planets Around Giant Stars and the Mass-Metallicity Correlation of Planet-Hosting Stars [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2016
Context. Exoplanet searches have revealed interesting correlations between the stellar properties and the occurrence rate of planets. In particular, different independent surveys have demonstrated that giant planets are preferentially found around metal ...

Evolved Stars Suggest an External Origin of the Enhanced Metallicity in Planet-Hosting Stars

open access: yesAstronomy and Astrophysics, 2007
Aims. Exo-planets are preferentially found around high metallicity main sequence stars. We investigate whether evolved stars share this property, and its implications for planet formation.

Oscillation Frequencies for 35Keplersolar-Type Planet-Hosting Stars Using Bayesian Techniques and Machine Learning

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016
Kepler has revolutionized our understanding of both exoplanets and their host stars. Asteroseismology is a valuable tool in the characterization of stars and Kepler is an excellent observing facility to perform asteroseismology.

Asteroseismic Masses of Four Evolved Planet-Hosting Stars Using SONG and TESS: Resolving the Retired A-Star Mass Controversy

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
The study of planet occurrence as a function of stellarmass is important for a better understanding of planet formation. Estimating stellar mass, especially in the red giant regime, is difficult.

Host Star Evolution for Planet Habitability

Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres, 2016
With about 2000 exoplanets discovered within a large range of different configurations of distance from the star, size, mass, and atmospheric conditions, the concept of habitability cannot rely only on the stellar effective temperature anymore. In addition to the natural evolution of habitability with the intrinsic stellar parameters, tidal, magnetic ...

A Detailed Spectropolarimetric Analysis of the Planet-Hosting Star WASP-12*, [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2010
The knowledge of accurate stellar parameters is paramount in several fields of stellar astrophysics, particularly in the study of extrasolar planets, where often the star is the only visible component and therefore used to infer the planet's fundamental ...

Interferometric Diameters of Five Evolved Intermediate-Mass Planet-Hosting Stars Measured With PAVO at the CHARA Array [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
Debate over the planet occurrence rates around intermediate-mass stars has hinged on the accurate determination of masses of evolved stars, and has been exacerbated by a paucity of reliable, directly measured fundamental properties for these stars.

Magnetic Fields in Planet-Hosting Stars

2017
The stellar magnetic field is a prime ingredient in the interactions between a parent star and its planets. Impacts on the stellar surface or dynamo as well as on the planetary atmosphere and internal structure are expected from these interactions. The magnetic field also plays a huge role in the formation and evolution of the system.

Planet host stars in open clusters

Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy, 2014
We have compiled a list of all planet host star candidates reported in the literature, which are likely to be cluster members, and we checked their memberships by the spatial location, radial velocity, proper motion and photometric criteria. We found that only six stars, BD-13 2130, HD 28305, Kepler-66, Kepler-67, Pr0201 and Pr0211, are planet orbiting
