Asteroid resource map for near-Earth space [PDF]
, 2011 Most future concepts for the exploration and exploitation of space require a large initial mass in low Earth orbit. Delivering this required mass from the Earth’s surface increases cost due to the large energy input necessary to move mass out of the ...

Life at the end of worlds : modelling the biosignatures of microbial life in diverse environments at the end of the habitable lifetimes of Earth-like planets [PDF]
, 2014 This thesis investigates how increased global mean temperatures on Earth, induced by the increase in the luminosity of the Sun as it ages, change the types of habitable environments on the planet at local scales over the next 3 Gyr.

A Transiting Super-Earth in the Radius Valley and an Outer Planet Candidate Around HD 307842 [PDF]
, 2023 We report the confirmation of a TESS-discovered transiting super-Earth planet orbiting a mid-G star, HD 307842 (TOI-784). The planet has a period of 2.8 days, and the radial velocity (RV) measurements constrain the mass to be 9.67 ? 0.82 + 0.83 M ? .

A Habitable-zone Earth-sized Planet Rescued from False Positive Status [PDF]
, 2020 We report the discovery of an Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone of a low-mass star called Kepler-1649. The planet, Kepler-1649 c, is 1.06+0.15 -0.10 times the size of Earth and transits its 0.1977 ± 0.0051 M⊙mid M-dwarf host star every 19.5 days ...

On the interaction between embedded planets and the corotation region of protoplanetary discs [PDF]
, 2015 PhDDisc material in the corotation region librates with respect to low-mass planets on horseshoe trajectories. The exchange of angular momentum associated with this libration gives rise to the non-linear corotation torque (the horseshoe drag).
