On behalf of the GAPS Team

‘La Ricerca dei Pianeti Extrasolari in Italia’ INAF-Rome, 5 November 2014

• GAPS, Global Architecture of Planetary Systems, is a long-term programme for the comprehensive characterization of the architectural properties of planetary systems as a function of the hosts’ characteristics (mass, metallicity, environment).

• GAPS has been approved by Italian TNG TAC: – AOT 26 (Aug 2012-Jan 2013): 36 nights – AOT 27 (Feb 2013-Jul 2013): 40 nights

+ long-term status proposal approved for 2 years. till Feb 2015

The GAPS Project

INAF Guidelines to TAC: to dedicate ~80

nights/year of TNG to a large coordinated

effort of the Italian community willing to study

exoplanets with HARPS-N.

• To compare it to published results for solar metallicity stars.

• To characterize the architecture of planetary systems as a function of stellar metallicity for useful comparison with theoretical model predictions.

Emerging Results

Sensitivity Limits: very well in line with the goals of the program

Exoplanet detections: several short-period candidates under follow-up

‘La Ricerca dei Pianeti Extrasolari in Italia’ INAF-Rome, 5 November 2014

OC Planet Search

• Open Clusters (OCs): ages, metallicites and distances, as well as stellar masses and radii more precise than for field stars

• Role of dynamical and chemical environment on planet formation

• Ultimate goal: direct estimate of frequency of close-in planets in OCs

• Chosen M44 (younger) and NGC 752 (older), membership and sample selection of ~120 slowly rotating F-G-K members

Targets for Follow-up

‘La Ricerca dei Pianeti Extrasolari in Italia’ INAF-Rome, 5 November 2014

• Derive the orbital obliquity for a range of planet and host properties (i.e. Porb, Mp, M*, age)

• Characterize orbits and physical properties of transiting systems containing hot GPs (thanks to synergy with KP program)

• Address planetary orbit evolution issues, and find clues to migration mechanisms and star-planet tidal interactions

•Stars with long period giant planets (search for low mass planets in close orbits, i.e. scaled solar system analogs).

Complementary to the ongoing HARPS/ESO program

•A small sample of stars with known planetary systems for further characterization

•Transiting planets (system characterization, search for additional planets)

SPI-Asteroseismic Program

‘La Ricerca dei Pianeti Extrasolari in Italia’ INAF-Rome, 5 November 2014

Tau Boo - Asteroseismology

HARPS-N + Literature

Asteroseismic approach preserves the

possibility to improve the orbit of the

planet around Tau Boo.

At the same time, high-

quality, fast-cadence 1-min

exposures allowed us to

detect very small fluctuations,

probably due to solar-like

oscillations.

The final goal is to demonstrate

asteroseismological approach

to infer stellar parameters.

HD 17156 - SPMI

• Coordinated HARPS-N@TNG (AOT30) and XMM-Newton observations of HD 17156 for testing the onset of SPMI effects at periastron in a system with a massive planet in a very eccentric orbit around a Sun-like star

• Target already part of the KP program

• Two HARPS-N spectra with very high S/N ratio obtained in Sep 2014

• Analysis ongoing

‘La Ricerca dei Pianeti Extrasolari in Italia’ INAF-Rome, 5 November 2014

Take-Home Message

• HARPS-N@TNG is the state-of-the-art of high-res, high-prec. optical spectroscopy in the Northern hemisphere

• It can reproduce the successes obtained by HARPS-S in exoplanets science (and stellar astrophysics), and it’s easily accessible to the Italian community

• It does require a very large investment in observing time -> strategic thinking and decision-making approach

• It acted as catalyst for GAPS, that is demonstrating it in turn to be a very successful undertaking
