Analysis of TESS and HARPS observations confirms the existence of a Saturn-like planet orbiting a star associated with the young stellar cluster IC 2602   Stellar clusters are not only beautiful objects to photograph and observe through a telescope, but they also represent an important opportunity for studying stellar evolution. In fact, they are composed of rich samples of stars

Sub-neptunian planets and photoevaporation for BD+40 2790. The study: “The GAPS Programme at TNG. LIX: A characterisation study of the ∼300 Myr old multi-planetary system orbiting the star BD+40 2790 (TOI-2076)” of M. Damasso (INAF – OATo) appeared on A&A

The study of exoplanetary systems of stars with an age of a few hundred million years can teach us a great deal about the early and crucial evolutionary phases of planetary systems. Processes such as planetary migration, which causes planets to modify their distance from the central star, the circularization of orbits, and planetary photoevaporation play a fundamental role in

A planet with elusive properties for V1298 Tau. The paper: “Photometric follow-up of the 20 Myr old multi-planet host star V1298 Tau with CHEOPS and ground-based telescopes” of M. Damasso (INAF-OATo) appeared on A&A

Among the stars known to host more than one planet, V1298 Tau deserves particular attention. This star, located approximately 360 light years away from us, is around 20 million years old and possesses a planetary system with four exoplanets discovered so far. Due to these characteristics, V1298 Tau can offer valuable insights into the planetary formation process and the early
