Orbital motions and the conservation-law/preferred-frame $\alpha_3$ parameter [PDF]
, 2014 We analytically calculate some orbital effects induced by the Lorentz-invariance/momentum-conservation PPN parameter $\alpha_3$ in a gravitationally bound binary system made of a compact primary orbited by a test particle.

Three Small Planets Transiting a Hyades Star [PDF]
, 2018 We present the discovery of three small planets transiting K2-136 (LP 358 348, EPIC 247589423), a late K dwarf in the Hyades. The planets have orbital periods of $7.9757 \pm 0.0011$, $17.30681^{+0.00034}_{-0.00036}$, and $25.5715^{+0.0038}_{-0.0040 ...

The production of proton-rich isotopes beyond iron: The ?-process in stars [PDF]
, 2016 © 2016 World Scientific Publishing Company. Beyond iron, a small fraction of the total abundances in the Solar System is made of proton-rich isotopes, the p-nuclei.

Testing Lorentz symmetry with planetary orbital dynamics [PDF]
, 2015 Planetary ephemerides are a very powerful tool to constrain deviations from the theory of General Relativity using orbital dynamics. The effective field theory framework called the Standard-Model Extension (SME) has been developed in order to ...

, 2017 In an effort to better understand the early stages of planet formation, we have developed a 1.5U payload that flew on the International Space Station (ISS) in the NanoRacks NanoLab facility between September 2014 and March 2016.
