Descripción
The number of exoplanet detections continues to grow following the
development of better instruments and missions. Key steps for the
understanding of these worlds comes from their characterization and
statistical studies. We explore the metallicity-period-mass diagram for
known exoplanets by using an updated version of The Stellar parameters
for stars with ExoplanETs CATalogue (SWEET-Cat), a unique compilation of
precise stellar parameters for planet-host stars provided for the
exoplanet community. Here, we focus on the planets with minimum mass
below 30 M⊕ which seems to present a possible
correlation in the metallicity-period-mass diagram where the mass of the
planet increases with both metallicity and period. Our analysis suggests
that the general observed correlation may not be fully explained by
observational biases. Additional precise data will be fundamental to
confirm or deny this possible correlation.

Recientemente se han llevado a cabo varios análisis espectroscópicos de estrellas con planetas. Uno de los resultados más relevantes ha sido descubrir que las estrellas con planetas son en promedio más metálicas que las estrellas del mismo tipo espectral sin planetas conocidos (Santos, Israelian & Mayor 2001, A&A, 373, 1019; 2004, A&A, 415, 1153)
