Notes. Planetary masses are given in Jupiter masses (MJ) and radii are given in Jupiter radii (RJ). Stellar masses are given in terms of the solar mass (M) and stellar radii, in terms of the solar radius (R). Orbital distance is denoted a. The age given for HD 189733 corresponds to the “apparent” age for X-ray observations, see Sect. 2.3.
