Statistical properties of exoplanets

S Udry, NC Santos - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2007 - annualreviews.org
Since the detection a decade ago of the planetary companion of 51 Peg, more than 200
extrasolar planets have been unveiled, mostly by radial-velocity measurements but also in a …

Observational evidence for tidal interaction in close binary systems

MJ Goupil, JP Zahn, T Mazeh - European Astronomical Society …, 2008 - cambridge.org
This paper reviews the rich corpus of observational evidence for tidal effects, mostly based
on photometric and radial-velocity measurements. This is done in a period when the study of …

Photometry of 10 million stars from the first two years of TESS full frame images: part I

CX Huang, A Vanderburg, A Pál, L Sha… - Research Notes of …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is the first high-precision full-sky
photometric survey in space. We extracted light curves from a magnitude limited set of stars …

The GAPS programme with HARPS-N at TNG-XIV. Investigating giant planet migration history via improved eccentricity and mass determination for 231 transiting …

AS Bonomo, S Desidera, S Benatti, F Borsa… - Astronomy & …, 2017 - aanda.org
We carried out a Bayesian homogeneous determination of the orbital parameters of 231
transiting giant planets (TGPs) that are alone or have distant companions; we employed …

A population study of gaseous exoplanets

A Tsiaras, IP Waldmann, T Zingales… - The Astronomical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We present here the analysis of 30 gaseous extrasolar planets, with temperatures between
600 and 2400 K and radii between 0.35 and 1.9 R Jup. The quality of the HST/WFC3 …

Prevalence of Earth-size planets orbiting Sun-like stars

EA Petigura, AW Howard, GW Marcy - Proceedings of the National …, 2013 - pnas.org
Determining whether Earth-like planets are common or rare looms as a touchstone in the
question of life in the universe. We searched for Earth-size planets that cross in front of their …

TESS transit timing of hundreds of hot Jupiters

ES Ivshina, JN Winn - The Astrophysical Journal Supplement …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We provide a database of transit times and updated ephemerides for 382 planets based on
data from the NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and previously reported …

Shrinking binary and planetary orbits by Kozai cycles with tidal friction

D Fabrycky, S Tremaine - The Astrophysical Journal, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
At least two arguments suggest that the orbits of a large fraction of binary stars and
extrasolar planets shrank by 1-2 orders of magnitude after formation:(1) the physical radius …

Planetary radii across five orders of magnitude in mass and stellar insolation: application to transits

JJ Fortney, MS Marley, JW Barnes - The Astrophysical Journal, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
To aid in the physical interpretation of planetary radii constrained through observations of
transiting planets, or eventually direct detections, we compute model radii of pure hydrogen …

The frequency of hot Jupiters orbiting nearby solar-type stars

JT Wright, GW Marcy, AW Howard… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We determine the fraction of F, G, and K dwarfs in the solar neighborhood hosting hot
Jupiters as measured by the California Planet Survey from the Lick and Keck planet …
