Multiplicity in transiting planet-host stars

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

In the exoplanetary era, the Kepler spacecraft is causing a revolution by discovering thousands of new planet candidates.

Description

However, a follow-up program is needed to reject false candidates and fully characterize the bona-fide exoplanets. Our main aims are to 1./ detect and analyze close companions inside the typical Kepler point spread function (PSF) to study whether they are the responsible for the dimming found in Kepler light curves, 2./ study the change in the stellar and planetary parameters caused by an unresolved object, 3./ help validate the Kepler objects of interest (KOI) that do not have any object inside the Kepler PSF, and 4./ study the multiplicity rate of planet-host candidates.

Such a large sample of observed planet-host candidates allows us to derive statistics for close (visual or bounded) companions to the harboring star.
