The distribution of exoplanet masses
An abstract should be given he present study derives the distribution of secondary massesM2 for the 67 exoplanets and very low-mass brown dwarfs companions of solar-type stars, known as of April 4, 2001. This distribution is related to the distribution of M2 sin i through an integral equation of Abel’s type. Although a formal solution exists for this equation, it is known to be ill-behaved, and...
متن کاملMain Sequence Masses and Radii from Gravitational Redshifts
Modern instrumentation makes it possible to measure the mass to radius ratio for main sequence stars in open clusters from gravitational redshifts. For stars where independent information is available for either the mass or the radius, this application of general relativity directly determines the other quantity. Applicable examples are: 1) measuring the radii of solar metallicity main sequence...
متن کاملNeutron Star Masses, Radii and Equation of State
We are closing in on neutron stars both observationally and theoretically. Observationally, a number of masses (M) and a few radii (R) have been measured as well as a number of other properties. Theoretically, modern equation of states (EOS) are more reliable due to precision measurements of nucleon-nucleon interactions, detailed calculations of binding energies of light nuclei and nuclear matt...
متن کاملConstraints on Neutron Star Masses and Radii from Kilohertz QPOs
The frequencies of the highest-frequency kilohertz QPOs recently discovered in some sixteen neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binary systems are most likely orbital frequencies. If so, these QPOs provide tight upper bounds on the masses and radii of these neutron stars and interesting new constraints on the equation of state of neutron star matter. If the frequency of a kilohertz QPO can be estab...
متن کاملMeasuring Fundamental Parameters of Substellar Objects. II: Masses and Radii
We present mass and radius derivations for a sample of very young, midto late M, low-mass stellar and substellar objects in Upper Scorpius and Taurus. In a previous paper, we determined effective temperatures and surface gravities for these targets, from an analysis of their high-resolution optical spectra and comparisons to the latest synthetic spectra. We now derive extinctions, radii, masses...
