  • Can There Be Additional Rocky Planets in the Habitable Zone of Tight Binary
    Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 000, 1–10 () Printed 24 September 2018 (MN LATEX style file v2.2) Can there be additional rocky planets in the Habitable Zone of tight binary stars with a known gas giant? B. Funk1⋆, E. Pilat-Lohinger1 and S. Eggl2 1Institute for Astronomy, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria 2IMCCE, Observatoire de Paris, Paris, France ABSTRACT Locating planets in Habitable Zones (HZs) around other stars is a growing field in contem- porary astronomy. Since a large percentage of all G-M stars in the solar neighborhood are expected to be part of binary or multiple stellar systems, investigations of whether habitable planets are likely to be discovered in such environments are of prime interest to the scientific community. As current exoplanet statistics predicts that the chances are higher to find new worlds in systems that are already known to have planets, we examine four known extrasolar planetary systems in tight binaries in order to determine their capacity to host additional hab- itable terrestrial planets. Those systems are Gliese 86, γ Cephei, HD 41004 and HD 196885. In the case of γ Cephei, our results suggest that only the M dwarf companion could host ad- ditional potentially habitable worlds. Neither could we identify stable, potentially habitable regions around HD 196885A. HD 196885 B can be considered a slightly more promising tar- get in the search forEarth-twins.Gliese 86 A turned out to be a very good candidate, assuming that the system’s history has not been excessively violent. For HD 41004 we have identified admissible stable orbits for habitable planets, but those strongly depend on the parameters of the system.

  • Discovery of Extreme Asymmetry in the Debris Disk Surrounding HD 15115
    Submitted to ApJ Letters December 18, 2006; Accepted April 04, 2007 A Preprint typeset using LTEX style emulateapj v. 08/22/09 DISCOVERY OF EXTREME ASYMMETRY IN THE DEBRIS DISK SURROUNDING HD 15115 Paul Kalas1,2, Michael P. Fitzgerald1,2, James R. Graham1,2 Submitted to ApJ Letters December 18, 2006; Accepted April 04, 2007 ABSTRACT We report the first scattered light detection of a dusty debris disk surrounding the F2V star HD 15115 using the Hubble Space Telescope in the optical, and Keck adaptive optics in the near-infrared. The most remarkable property of the HD 15115 disk relative to other debris disks is its extreme length asymmetry. The east side of the disk is detected to ∼315 AU radius, whereas the west side of the disk has radius >550 AU. We find a blue optical to near-infrared scattered light color relative to the star that indicates grain scattering properties similar to the AU Mic debris disk. The existence of a large debris disk surrounding HD 15115 adds further evidence for membership in the β Pic moving group, which was previously argued based on kinematics alone. Here we hypothesize that the extreme disk asymmetry is due to dynamical perturbations from HIP 12545, an M star 0.5◦ (0.38 pc) east of HD 15115 that shares a common proper motion vector, heliocentric distance, galactic space velocity, and age. Subject headings: stars: individual(HD 15115) - circumstellar matter 1.

  • Extra-Solar Planets 2
    REVIEW ARTICLE Extra-solar planets M A C Perryman Astrophysics Division, European Space Agency, ESTEC, Noordwijk 2200AG, The Netherlands; and Leiden Observatory, University of Leiden, The Netherlands Abstract. The discovery of the first extra-solar planet surrounding a main-sequence star was announced in 1995, based on very precise radial velocity (Doppler) measurements. A total of 34 such planets were known by the end of March 2000, and their numbers are growing steadily. The newly-discovered systems confirm some of the features predicted by standard theories of star and planet formation, but systems with massive planets having very small orbital radii and large eccentricities are common and were generally unexpected. Other techniques being used to search for planetary signatures include accurate measurement of positional (astrometric) displacements, gravitational microlensing, and pulsar timing, the latter resulting in the detection of the first planetary mass bodies beyond our Solar System in 1992. The transit of a planet across the face of the host star provides significant physical diagnostics, and the first such detection was announced in 1999. Protoplanetary disks, which represent an important evolutionary stage for understanding planet formation, are being imaged from space. In contrast, direct imaging of extra-solar planets represents an enormous challenge. Long-term efforts are directed towards infrared space interferometry, the detection of Earth-mass planets, and measurement of their spectral characteristics. Theoretical atmospheric models provide predictions of planetary temperatures, radii, albedos, chemical condensates, and spectral features as a function of mass, composition and distance from the host star. Efforts to characterise planets occupying the ‘habitable zone’, in which liquid water may be present, and indicators of the arXiv:astro-ph/0005602v1 31 May 2000 presence of life, are advancing quantitatively.
