Lucky Imaging Survey for Binary Exoplanet Hosts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 April 2012
Abstract
Binary or multiple stars are common in our neighbourhood, and many of the exoplanets we know of belong to a star in such a system. The influence of a second star on planet formation can be probed by comparing properties of planets in binary/multiple-star systems with those of single-star planets. We present some of the results from our Lucky Imaging survey for binary companions to hosts of transiting exoplanets.
