Accurate masses and radii of normal stars: modern results and applications
- G. Torres, J. Andersen, Á. Giménez
- Physics
- 18 August 2009
This article presents and discusses a critical compilation of accurate, fundamental determinations of stellar masses and radii. We have identified 95 detached binary systems containing 190 stars (94… Expand
On the Use of Empirical Bolometric Corrections for Stars
- G. Torres
- Physics
- 23 August 2010
When making use of tabulations of empirical bolometric corrections for stars (BC V ), a commonly overlooked fact is that while the zero point is arbitrary, the bolometric magnitude of the Sun (M… Expand
Detection of Thermal Emission from an Extrasolar Planet
- D. Charbonneau, L. Allen, +8 authors A. Sozzetti
- Physics
- 21 March 2005
We present Spitzer Space Telescope infrared photometric time series of the transiting extrasolar planet system TrES-1. The data span a predicted time of secondary eclipse, corresponding to the… Expand
HD 80606 b, a planet on an extremely elongated orbit ?
We report the detection of a planetary companion orbiting the solar-type star HD 80606, the brighter component of a wide binary with a projected separation of about 2000 AU. Using high-signal… Expand

The Ninth Catalogue of Spectroscopic Binary Orbits (http://sb9.astro.ulb.ac.be) continues the series of compilations of spectroscopic orbits carried out over the past 35 years by Batten and… Expand
A Survey of Proper-Motion Stars. XVI. Orbital Solutions for 171 Single-lined Spectroscopic Binaries*
- D. Latham, R. Stefanik, +5 authors J. Morse
- Physics
- 1 August 2002
We report 25,563 radial velocity measurements for 1359 single-lined stars in the Carney-Latham sample of 1464 stars selected for high proper motion. For 171 of these, we present spectroscopic orbital… Expand
IMPROVED SPECTROSCOPIC PARAMETERS FOR TRANSITING PLANET HOSTS
- G. Torres, D. Fischer, +11 authors Mit
- Physics

We report homogeneous spectroscopic determinations of the effective temperature, metallicity, and projected rotational velocity for the host stars of 56 transiting planets. Our analysis is based… Expand
TrES-1: The Transiting Planet of a Bright K0 V Star
- R. Alonso, T. Brown, +16 authors California Inst. of Technology
- Physics
- 23 August 2004
We report the detection of a transiting Jupiter-sized planet orbiting a relatively bright (V = 11.79) K0 V star. We detected the transit light-curve signature in the course of the TrES multisite… Expand
HAT-P-7b: An Extremely Hot Massive Planet Transiting a Bright Star in the Kepler Field
