Hot super-Earths stripped by their host stars
Theory predicts a deficit of super-Earth sized planets, which orbit close to their host star. Here, Lundkvist et al. use data from the NASA Kepler mission to show that this deficit is also seen in observations, thereby providing new insight into ...

Databases of Publications and Observations as a Part of the Crimean Astronomical Virtual Observatory
We describe the main principles of formation of databases (DBs) with information about astronomical objects and their physical characteristics derived from observations obtained at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory (CrAO) and published in the ...

Opacity calculation for target physics using the ABAKO/RAPCAL code [PDF]
Radiative properties of hot dense plasmas remain a subject of current interest since they play an important role in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) research, as well as in studies on stellar physics.

What asteroseismology can do for exoplanets
We describe three useful applications of asteroseismology in the context of exoplanet science: (1) the detailed characterisation of exoplanet host stars; (2) the measurement of stellar inclinations; and (3) the determination of orbital eccentricity from ...

Disentangling planetary orbits from stellar activity in radial-velocity surveys [PDF]
The majority of extra-solar planets have been discovered (or confirmed after follow-up) through radial-velocity (RV) surveys. Using ground-based spectrographs such as High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planetary Search (HARPS) and HARPS-North, it is now ...

Stellar Chromospheric Variability
Cool stars with convective envelopes of spectral types F and later tend to exhibit magnetic activity throughout their atmospheres. The presence of strong and variable magnetic fields is evidenced by photospheric starspots, chromospheric plages and ...

Granulation signatures as seen by Kepler short-cadence data
Context. Stellar granulation arises from near-surface convection and is imprinted in stellar photometric time series. Yet the links between granulation observables and fundamental stellar properties remain underexploited. Aims.
