Planetary Systems. Exoplanets
This chapter is centered on the methods of chaos diagnosis based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the dynamical maps on dense grids and their... -
Extrasolar Planetary Systems
Radial Velocity surveys have revealed up to now about 100 extra-solar planets (M sin i < 10 M Jup ) and 7... -
The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems: SIRTF Legacy Science in the VLT Era
We will utilize the sensitivity of SIRTF through the Legacy Science Program to carry out spectrophotometric observations of solar-type stars aimed at... -
Scanning for planetary cores with single-receiver intersource correlations
The network of seismographs on Earth allows us to gather enough data to reveal the properties of the metallic core hidden in the centre of the...

Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy of Proto-Planetary Nebulae
We present 3 μm spectroscopy of three carbon-rich proto-planetary nebulae. Spectroscopy with high spatial resolution afforded by the Subaru adaptive... -
Post-AGB Objects and Planetary Nebulae
Planetary nebulae and post-AGB objects are luminous dust emitters in the infrared. Indeed it is by virtue of their strong dust emission that most... -
The Transition Phase from AGB Stars to Planetary Nebulae as Seen by TIMMI2
We explore the possibilities of TIMMI2 N-band observations of improving our knowledge on the physics of the short transition phase which precedes the... -
Probing Thick Planetary Atmospheres with High Resolution Infrared Spectroscopy
The giant planets, Venus, Titan, and, to a lesser extent, Mars, have thick planetary atmospheres that can be probed very efficiently by... -
Planetary Atmospheres Through Time: Effects of Mass Loss and Thermal Evolution
Atmospheric mass loss is a fundamental phenomenon sha** the structure and evolution of planetary atmospheres. It can engage processes ranging from... -
The X-Ray Emission from Planetary Nebulae
Planetary nebulae, the progeny of low- and intermediate-mass stars, are formed by the interaction of the fast stellar wind from its central star,... -
Melting curve of superionic ammonia at planetary interior conditions
Under high pressures and temperatures, molecular systems with substantial polarization charges, such as ammonia and water, are predicted to form...

The planetary system Kepler-27 revisited
Transit timing variations of planets in Kepler-27 were already reported in some papers, but the entire characterisation of them is still an open...

Hydrogen Molecules in the Planetary Nebula NGC6302
NGC 6302 is the classical example of a planetary nebula with a bipolar shape. The bipolar ‘butterfly’ shape is often explained as caused by the fast... -

Rapid formation of exoplanetesimals revealed by white dwarfs
The timing of formation of the first planetesimals determines the mode of planetary accretion and their geophysical and compositional evolution....
