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

Formation and evolution of the complex planetary system of V1298 Tau, described in the study: “The GAPS programme at TNG. XLVIII. The unusual formation history of V1298 Tau” of D. Turrini (INAF – OATo)

The study of the exoplanets orbiting around young stars (e.g., younger than a few tens of million of years) offer the important opportunity for studying the early evoalutionary phases of those processes that shape the architecture of planetary systems. However, it is quite difficult to detect and study exoplanets around young stars, because of their low number, the complexity of their

Photoevaporation in young planets. The study: “New Constraints on the Future Evaporation of the Young Exoplanets in the V1298 Tau System” of A. Maggio (INAF – OAPA) recently appeared on ApJ

Ricerca

The search for young exoplanets is crucial to our understanding of the planetary formation process and the early evolution of planets. The disc of gas and dust from which planets form, in fact, typically disperse in a few million of years. Before that, the young planets interact with all the material orbiting around the star within the disk, triggering important
