We obtained spectra, covering the CaII H and K region, for 49 exoplanet host (EH) stars, observable from the southern hemisphere. We measured the chromospheric activity index, RHK. We compiled previously published values of this index for the observed objects as well as the remaining EH stars in an effort to better smooth temporal variations and derive a more representative value of the average chromospheric activity for each object. We used the average index to obtain ages for the group of EH… Expand

An investigation of chromospheric activity spanning the Vaughan-Preston gap: impact on stellar ages
Context. Chromospheric activity is widely used as an age indicator for solar-type stars based on the early evidence that there is a smooth evolution from young and active to old and inactive stars.… Expand
Ages and fundamental properties of Kepler exoplanet host stars from asteroseismology
We present a study of 33 {\it Kepler} planet-candidate host stars for which asteroseismic observations have sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratio to allow extraction of individual pulsation… Expand
Radii, masses, and ages of 18 bright stars using interferometry and new estimations of exoplanetary parameters
Accurate stellar parameters are needed in numerous domains of astrophysics. The position of stars on the H-R diagram is an important indication of their structure and evolution, and it helps improve… Expand
The multiplicity of exoplanet host stars. Spectroscopic confirmation of the companions GJ 3021 B and
Aims. We present new results from our ongoing multiplicity study of exoplanet host stars and present a list of 29 confirmed planet host multiple-star systems. Furthermore, we discuss the properties… Expand
Discrepancies between isochrone fitting and gyrochronology for exoplanet host stars
Using a sample of 68 planet-hosting stars, I carry out a comparison of isochrone fitting and gyrochronology to investigate whether tidal interactions between the stars and their planets are leading… Expand
Revising the ages of planet-hosting stars
Aims. This article aims to measure the age of stars with planets (SWP) through stellar tracks and isochrones computed with the PAdova and TRieste Stellar Evolutionary Code (PARSEC). Methods. We… Expand
Stellar magnetism: empirical trends with age and rotation
We investigate how the observed large-scale surface magnetic fields of low-mass stars (∼0.1– 2M� ), reconstructed through Zeeman–Doppler imaging, vary with age t, rotation and Xray emission. Our… Expand
Benchmark ages for the Gaia benchmark stars
In the era of large-scale surveys of stars in the MilkyWay, stellar ages are crucial for studying the evolution of the Galaxy.But determining ages of field stars is notoriously difficult; therefore,… Expand
A spectro-polarimetric study of the planet-hosting G dwarf, HD 147513
The results from a spectro-polarimetric study of the planet-hosting Sun-like star, HD 147513 (G5V), are presented here. Robust detections of Zeeman signatures at all observed epochs indicate a… Expand
The chemical composition of solar-type stars and its impact on the presence of planets
We illuminate the connection between the chemical abundance ratios in stellar atmospheres and the presence of planets around the respective stars. In order to obtain reliable results, we consider… Expand
