Exoplanet Catalogues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
One of the most exciting developments in the field of exoplanets has been the progression from 'stamp-collecting' to demography, from discovery to characterisation, from exoplanets to comparative exoplanetology. There is an exhilaration when a prediction is confirmed, a trend is observed, or a new population appears.

Dark Exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yesPhys.Rev.D 108 (2023) 10, 103026, 2023
The prevailing assumption is that all exoplanets are made of ordinary matter. However, we propose an unconventional possibility that some exoplanets could be made of dark matter, which we name "dark exoplanets." In this paper, we explore methods to search for dark exoplanets, including the mass-radius relation, spectroscopy, missing transit, and ...

The multiplicity of exoplanet host stars - New low-mass stellar companions of the exoplanet host stars HD125612 and HD212301 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Aims: We present new results from our ongoing multiplicity study of exoplanet host stars, carried out with SofI/NTT. We provide the most recent list of confirmed binary and triple star systems that harbor exoplanets. Methods: We use direct imaging to identify wide stellar and substellar companions as co-moving objects to the observed exoplanet host ...

HD3651B: the first directly imaged brown dwarf companion of an exoplanet host star [PDF]

open access: bronze, 2006
In the course of our ongoing multiplicity study of exoplanet host stars we detected a faint companion located at ~43arcsec (480AU physical projected separation) north-west of its primary -- the exoplanet host star HD3651 at 11pc.

Exoplanet Atmosphere Measurements from Transmission Spectroscopy and other Planet-Star Combined Light Observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
It is possible to learn a great deal about exoplanet atmospheres even when we cannot spatially resolve the planets from their host stars. In this chapter, we overview the basic techniques used to characterize transiting exoplanets - transmission spectroscopy, emission and reflection spectroscopy, and full-orbit phase curve observations.

Scientific Error and Error Handling

open access: yesScientonomy, 2021
Error is a common part of scientific practice, which must be accounted for by scientonomy. A scientific error occurs when an agent accepts a theory that should not have been accepted given that agent’s employed method. One might suspect that the handling

Simulation of Earth’s Outward Radiative Flux and Its Radiance in Moon-Based View

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
To study the Earth’s energy balance and to extend exoplanet research, the Earth’s outward radiative flux and its radiance in the Moon-based view were simulated according to the Earth–Sun–Moon geometry model, with the help of ERA5.

Orbital Period Refinement of CoRoT Planets with TESS Observations

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
CoRoT was the first space mission dedicated to exoplanet detection. Operational between 2007 and 2012, this mission discovered 37 transiting planets, including CoRoT-7b, the first terrestrial exoplanet with a measured size. The precision of the published

Simulating asteroid impacts and meteor events by high-power lasers: from the laboratory to spaceborne missions

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
Meteor plasmas and impact events are complex, dynamic natural phenomena. Simulating these processes in the laboratory is, however, a challenge. The technique of laser induced dielectric breakdown was first used for this purpose almost 50 years ago. Since
