The "missing link": a 4-day period transiting exoplanet around OGLE-TR-111 (2006)

Pont, Frederic, Bouchy, Francois, Queloz, Didier, Santos, Nuno, Melo, Claudio, Mayor, Michel, ...

We report the discovery of a transiting hot Jupiter around OGLE-TR-111, from our radial velocity follow-up of OGLE transiting candidates in Carina. The planet has a mass of 0.53 +- 0.11 M_J and a...

A correlation between the heavy element content of transiting extrasolar planets and the metallicity of their parent stars (2006)

Guillot, Tristan, Santos, Nuno C., Pont, Frédéric, Iro, Nicolas, Melo, Claudio, Ribas, Ignasi

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...

Fundamental properties of pre-main sequence stars in young, southern star forming regions: metallicities (2005)

James, David J., Melo, Claudio, Santos, Nuno C., Bouvier, Jerome

Aims: The primary motivation for this project is to search for metal-rich star forming regions, in which, stars of super-solar metallicity will be created, as hopefully, will be extra-solar planets...
