Physical Parameters of 59 Stars with Planets
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
Astrometric, kinematic, spectroscopic and internal stellar structure data of 59 out of 102, extra-solar planet stars (thereafter ESPs), as yet discovered, are herewith discussed. The remaining 43 have been discarded, because they are not yet subjected to detailed spectroscopic analyses. The assembling of true physical parameters of ESPs has been made with the help of the Hipparcos and the [Fe/H] Catalogues. The retained 59 ESPs, could be divided into three sub-samples: midly metal poor, metal normal and metal enriched ESPs. Three observational (logTeff, Mbol) diagrams for each of the metallicity groups have been constructed and interpreted with the help of theoretical HR diagrams, computed for metal-poor, metal-normal, and metal-rich internal structure models. The age of 47 evolved ESPs of the sample has been estimated from the relevant isochrones. Even if the age difference between some of the ESPs is great, (from 1 to >12 Gyr) stars as young as the Hyades (670 Myr) have not been found. ESPs are biased towards metallicities higher than solar. In this sample the number of ESPs with metallicity [Fe/H]>0 is 2.4 times the number of ESPs with [Fe/H] < 0, whereas the proportion is roughly inverted in a sample of non ESPs.
