A correlation between the heavy element content of transiting extrasolar planets and the metallicity of their parent stars

Guillot, Tristan Santos, Nuno Pont, Frédéric

Nine extrasolar planets with masses between 110 and 430M are known to transit their star. The knowledge of their masses and radii allows an estimate of their composition, but uncertainties on equations of state, opacities and possible missing energy sources imply that only inaccurate constraints can be derived when considering each planet...

High resolution spectroscopy of stars with transiting planets. The cases of OGLE-TR-10, 56, 111, 113, and TrES-1

C Santos, Nuno Pont, Frédéric Melo, Claudio

Context: .During the past years photometric surveys, later complemented by follow-up radial-velocity measurements, have revealed the presence of several new extra-solar transiting planets, in very short-period orbits. Many of the host stars are extremely faint (V~16), making high-precision spectroscopic measurements challenging. Aims: .We used...
