Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) [PDF]

Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation, 2014
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS ) will search for planets transiting bright and nearby stars. TESS has been selected by NASA for launch in 2017 as an Astrophysics Explorer mission. The spacecraft will be placed into a highly elliptical 13.

The Influence of Different Solar System Planetary Ephemeris on Pulsar Timing

Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics
The pulsar timing offers a comprehensive avenue for exploring diverse topics physics and astrophysics. High-precision solar system planetary ephemeris crucial for pulsar timing as it provides the positions and velocities of solar system planets include

Spectral features of Earth-like planets and their detectability at different orbital distances around F, G, and K-type stars

, 2013
We investigate the spectral appearance of Earth-like exoplanets in the HZ of different main sequence stars at different orbital distances. We furthermore discuss for which of these scenarios biomarker absorption bands may be detected during primary or ...

The Mid-term and Long-term Solar Quasi-periodic Cycles and the Possible Relationship with Planetary Motions [PDF]

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2012, 2012
This work investigates the solar quasi-periodic cycles with multi-timescales and the possible relationships with planetary motions. The solar cycles are derived from long-term observations of the relative sunspot number and microwave emission at frequency of 2.80 GHz. A series of solar quasi-periodic cycles with multi-timescales are registered.
