- Description:
- Characterizing the relation between stellar photometric variability and radial velocity (RV) jitter can help us to better understand the physics behind these phenomena. The current and upcoming high precision photometric surveys such as TESS, CHEOPS, and PLATO will provide the community with thousands of new exoplanet candidates. As a consequence, the presence of such a correlation is crucial in selecting the targets with the lowest RV jitter for efficient RV follow-up of exoplanetary candidates. Studies of this type are also crucial to design optimized observational strategies to mitigate RV jitter when searching for Earth-mass exoplanets. Aims. Our goal is to assess the correlation between high-precision photometric variability measurements and high-precision RV jitter over different time scales. We analyze 171 G, K, and M stars with available TESS high precision photometric time-series and HARPS precise RVs. We derived the stellar parameters for the stars in our sample and measured the RV jitter and photometric variability. We also estimated chromospheric CaII H & K activity indicator log(R'_HK_), vsini, and the stellar rotational period. Finally, we evaluate how different stellar parameters and an RV sampling subset can have an impact on the potential correlations. We find a varying correlation between the photometric variability and RV jitter as function of time intervals between the TESS photometric observation and HARPS RV. As the time intervals of the observations considered for the analysis increases, the correlation value and significance becomes smaller and weaker, to the point that it becomes negligible. We also find that for stars with a photometric variability above 6.5 ppt the correlation is significantly stronger. We show that such a result can be due to the transition between the spot-dominated and the faculae-dominated regime. We quantified the correlations and updated the relationship between chromospheric CaII H & K activity indicator log(R'_HK_) and RV jitter.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of 10 transiting extrasolar planets by the HATSouth survey. The planets range in mass from the super-Neptune HATS-62b, with M_p_<0.179 M_J_, to the super-Jupiter HATS-66b, with M_p_=5.33 M_J_, and in size from the Saturn HATS-69b, with R_p_=0.94 R_J_, to the inflated Jupiter HATS-67b, with R_p_=1.69 R_J_. The planets have orbital periods between 1.6092 days (HATS-67b) and 7.8180 days (HATS-61b). The hosts are dwarf stars with masses ranging from 0.89 M_{sun}_ (HATS-69) to 1.56 M_{sun}_ (HATS-64) and have apparent magnitudes between V=12.276+/-0.020 mag (HATS-68) and V=14.095+/-0.030 mag (HATS-66). The super-Neptune HATS-62b is the least massive planet discovered to date with a radius larger than Jupiter. Based largely on the Gaia DR2 distances and broadband photometry, we identify three systems (HATS-62, HATS-64, and HATS-65) as having possible unresolved binary star companions. We discuss in detail our methods for incorporating the Gaia DR2 observations into our modeling of the system parameters and into our blend analysis procedures.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of two transiting Neptunes by the HATSouth survey. The planet HATS-37Ab has a mass of 0.099{+/-}0.042M_Jup_ (31.5{+/-}13.4M{Earth}) and a radius of 0.606{+/-}0.016R_Jup_, and is on a P=4.3315day orbit around a V=12.266{+/-}0.030mag, 0.843_-0.012_^+0.017^M{odot} star with a radius of 0.877_-0.012_^+0.019^R{odot}. We also present evidence that the star HATS-37A has an unresolved stellar companion HATS-37B, with a photometrically estimated mass of 0.654{+/-}0.033M{odot}. The planet HATS-38b has a mass of 0.074{+/-}0.011M_Jup_ (23.5{+/-}3.5M{Earth}) and a radius of 0.614{+/-}0.017R_Jup_, and is on a P=4.3750day orbit around a V=12.411{+/-}0.030mag, 0.890_-0.012_^+0.016^M{odot} star with a radius of 1.105{+/-}0.016 R{odot}. Both systems appear to be old, with isochrone-based ages of 11.46_-1.45_^+0.79^Gyr, and 11.89{+/-}0.60Gyr, respectively. Both HATS-37Ab and HATS-38b lie in the Neptune desert and are thus examples of a population with a low occurrence rate. They are also among the lowest-mass planets found from ground-based wide-field surveys to date.

- Description:
- Asteroseismology has the capability of precisely determining stellar properties that would otherwise be inaccessible, such as radii, masses, and thus ages of stars. When coupling this information with classical determinations of stellar parameters, such as metallicities, effective temperatures, and angular diameters, powerful new diagnostics for Galactic studies can be obtained. The ongoing Stromgren survey for Asteroseismology and Galactic Archaeology (SAGA) has the goal of transforming the Kepler field into a new benchmark for Galactic studies, similar to the solar neighborhood. Here we present the first results from a stripe centered at a Galactic longitude of 74{deg} and covering latitude from about 8{deg} to 20{deg}, which includes almost 1000 K giants with seismic information and the benchmark open cluster NGC 6819. We describe the coupling of classical and seismic parameters, the accuracy as well as the caveats of the derived effective temperatures, metallicities, distances, surface gravities, masses, and radii. Confidence in the achieved precision is corroborated by the detection of the first and secondary clumps in a population of field stars with a ratio of 2 to 1 and by the negligible scatter in the seismic distances among NGC 6819 member stars. An assessment of the reliability of stellar parameters in the Kepler Input Catalog is also performed, and the impact of our results for population studies in the Milky Way is discussed, along with the importance of an all-sky Stromgren survey.

- Description:
- To investigate the dependence of (visual) binarity characteristics on the primary component mass, we selected all stars of spectral type B in Sco OB2 association and searched for near-infrared companions to them with ADONIS and Coronograph. The data acquisition and companions measurement results are described; the mass ratio distribution f(q)=q**(-0.5) is derived using the PMS stars evolution tracks. Target stars J- and K-magnitudes are presented in Table 1; differential photometry and astrometry results for secondary companions and background sources in sky-offset fields are given in Table 2 and 3, respectively.

- Description:
- We present JHK observations of 22 intermediate-mass stars in Sco OB2, obtained with NACO. This survey was performed to determine the status of (sub)stellar candidate companions of Sco OB2 member stars of spectral type A and late-B. The distinction between companions and background stars is made on the basis of a comparison to isochrones and additional statistical arguments. We include in our sample a subset of 9 targets with multi-color ADONIS observations from Kouwenhoven et al. (2005, Cat. <J/A+A/430/137>). We reanalyse the total sample (i.e. NACO and ADONIS) and conclude that of the 176 secondaries, 25 are physical companions, 55 are candidate companions, and 96 are background stars. Although we are sensitive (and complete) to brown dwarf companions as faint as K=14mag in the semi-major axis range 130-520AU, we detect only one, corresponding to a brown dwarf companion fraction of 0.5% (M>30M_Jupiter_). However, the number of brown dwarfs is consistent with an extrapolation of the (stellar) companion mass distribution into the brown dwarf regime. This indicates that the physical mechanism for the formation of brown dwarf companions around intermediate mass stars is similar to that of stellar companions, and that the embryo ejection mechanism does not need to be invoked in order to explain the small number of brown dwarf companions among intermediate mass stars in Sco OB2.

- Description:
- We present the first white dwarf mass distributions of a large and homogeneous sample of post-common envelope binaries (PCEBs) and wide white dwarf main-sequence (WDMS) binaries directly obtained from observations. Both distributions are statistically independent, with PCEBs showing a clear concentration of systems towards the low-mass end of the distribution and the white dwarf mass distribution of wide WDMS binaries being similar to that of single white dwarfs. Our results provide evidence that the majority of low-mass (Mwd<~0.5M_{sun}_) white dwarfs are formed in close binaries.
