Direct Imaging of Extra-solar Planets - Homogeneous Comparison of Detected Planets and Candidates
Jan, 2012Citations per year
Abstract: (arXiv)
Searching the literature, we found 25 stars with directly imaged planets and candidates. We gathered photometric and spectral information for all these objects to derive their luminosities in a homogeneous way, taking a bolometric correction into account. Using theoretical evolutionary models, one can then estimate the mass from luminosity, temperature, and age. According to our mass estimates, all of them can have a mass below 25 Jup masses, so that they are considered as planets.Note:
