Darwin -— an experimental astronomy mission to search for extrasolar planets (2009)
Cockell, Charles S., Herbst, Tom, Léger, Alain, Absil, O., Beichman, Charles, Benz, Willy, ...
As a response to ESA call for mission concepts for its Cosmic Vision 2015–2025 plan, we propose a mission called Darwin. Its primary goal is the study of terrestrial extrasolar planets and the...

Habitable planets around the star Gl 581? (2007)
Selsis, Franck, F. Kasting, J., Levrard, B., Paillet, J., Ribas, I., Delfosse, X.
Radial velocity surveys are now able to detect terrestrial planets at habitable distance from M-type stars. Recently, two planets with minimum masses below 10 Earth masses were reported in a triple...

Origin of volatiles in the Main Belt (2007)
Mousis, Olivier, Alibert, Yann, Hestroffer, Daniel, Marboeuf, Ulysse, Dumas, Christophe, Carry, Benoit, ...
We propose a scenario for the formation of the Main Belt in which asteroids incorporated icy particles formed in the outer Solar Nebula. We calculate the composition of icy planetesimals formed...
Belu, Adrian, Thiébaut, Eric, Ollivier, Marc, Lagache, Guilaine, Selsis, Franck, Vakili, Farrokh
Instrumental projects that will improve the direct optical finding and characterisation of exoplanets have advanced sufficiently to trigger organized investigation and development of corresponding...
Water vapour in the atmosphere of a transiting extrasolar planet (2007)
Tinetti, Giovanna, Vidal-Madjar, Alfred, Liang, Mao-Chang, Beaulieu, Jean-Philippe, Yung, Yuk, Carey, Sean, ...
Water is predicted to be among, if not the most abundant molecular species after hydrogen in the atmospheres of close-in extrasolar giant planets (hot-Jupiters) Several attempts have been made to...
Tidal dissipation within hot Jupiters: a new appraisal (2007)
Levrard, Benjamin, Correia, Alexandre Morgado, Chabrier, Gilles, Baraffe, Isabelle, Selsis, Franck, Laskar, Jacques
Eccentricity or obliquity tides have been proposed as the missing energy source that may explain the anomalously large radius of some transiting ``hot Jupiters''. To maintain a non-zero and large...

The effect of uncertainties on chemical models of dark clouds (2006)
Wakelam, Valentine, Herbst, Eric, Selsis, Franck
The gas-phase chemistry of dark clouds has been studied with a treatment of uncertainties caused both by errors in individual rate coefficients and uncertainties in physical conditions. Moreover, a...
