Stellar_flare_hits_HD_189733_b_(artist's_impression)

This artist's impression shows the hot Jupiter HD 189733b, as it passes in front of its parent star, as the latter is flaring, driving material away from the planet. The escaping atmosphere is seen silhouetted against the starlight. The surface of the star, which is around 80% the mass of the Sun, is based on observations of the Sun from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.

The SOAPS project - Spin-orbit alignment of planetary systems: Exoplanets' evolution histories in systems with different architectures

Abstract:

The wealth of information rendered by Kepler planets and planet candidates is indispensable for statistically significant studies of distinct planet populations, in both single and multiple systems. Empirical evidences suggest that Kepler's planet population shows different physical properties as compared to the bulk of known exoplanets. The SOAPS project, aims to shed light on Kepler's planets formation, their migration and architecture. By measuring v sini accurately for Kepler hosts with rotation periods measured from their high-precision light curves, we will assess the alignment of the planetary orbit with respect to the stellar spin axis. This degree of alignment traces the formation history and evolution of the planetary systems, and thus, allows to distinguish between different proposed migration theories. SOAPS will increase by a factor of 2 the number of spin-orbit alignment measurements pushing the parameters space down to the SuperEarth domain. Here we present our preliminary results. © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2013.
