Giant planets around two intermediate-mass evolved stars and confirmation of the planetary nature of HIP 67851c
@article{Jones2015GiantPA, title={Giant planets around two intermediate-mass evolved stars and confirmation of the planetary nature of HIP 67851c}, author={M. I. Jones and James S. Jenkins and Patricio M. Rojo and Claudio Melo}, journal={Astronomy and Astrophysics}, year={2015}, volume={580} }
Context. Precision radial velocities are required to discover and ch aracterize planets orbiting nearby stars. Optical and near infrared spectra that exhibit many hundreds of absorption lines can allow the m s −1 precision levels required for such work. However, this means that studies have generally focused on solar-type dwarf stars. After the main-sequence, intermediate-mass star s (former AF stars) expand and rotate slower than their progenitors, th us thousands of narrow absorption lines…
