Context. Due to observational biases, a large fraction of known exoplanets are short-period objects. However, the search for planets began more than 20 yr ago, and so it is already possible – with the use of a suitable dataset – to begin exploring a wider range of the parameter space, such as that encompassing long-period planets. Aims. The aim...

Context. The leading spectrographs used for exoplanets' search and characterization offer online data reduction softwares (DRS) that yield, as an ancillary result, the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the cross-correlation function (CCF) that is used to estimate the radial velocity of the host star. The FWHM also contains information on the...

Context. Observational data from space- and ground-based campaigns have revealed that the 10-30 Ma old V1298Tau star hosts a compact and massive system of four planets. Mass estimates are available for the two outer giant planets and point to unexpectedly high densities for their young ages. Aims: We investigate the formation of these two...
