By analyzing the host stars radial velocities taken with high-resolution spectrographs such as HARPS and HARPS-N, it is in fact possible to measure the mass and other key parameters (i.e. temperature, eccentricity, density and so on). The characterization of exoplanets and their host stars is fundamental to understand the planetary formation and evolution theories. Finally, she is a member of GAPS, collaborating in particular on the Neptunian program with Mario Damasso (OATo) and Luca Naponiello (OATo).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Francesca Manni is a 2nd year PhD student at the University of Tor Vergata (Rome) and her supervisors are Luigi Mancini (ToV) and Alessandro Sozzetti (OATo).
