Exoplanet Research with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA)

, 2017
When the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) was conceived and its first science cases defined, exoplanets had not been detected. Later studies, however, showed that optical and near-infrared photometric and spectrophotometric follow-

Exoplanet Clouds [PDF]

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2019
Clouds, which are common features in Earth's atmosphere, form in atmospheres of planets that orbit other stars than our Sun, in so-called extrasolar planets or exoplanets. Exoplanet atmospheres can be chemically extremely rich. Exoplanet clouds are therefore composed of a mix of materials that changes throughout the atmosphere.

Classification of Planetary Motion around Super-Jupiters and Brown Dwarfs

Universe
We investigate the orbital dynamics of an exosystem consisting of a solar-mass host star, a transiting body, and an Earth-size exoplanet within the framework of the generalized three-body problem.

Kepler Observations of the Three Pre-Launch Exoplanet Candidates: Discover of Two Eclipsing Binaries and a New Exoplanet [PDF]

, 2010
Three transiting exoplanet candidate stars were discovered in a ground-based photometric survey prior to the launch of NASA's Kepler mission. Kepler observations of them were obtained during Quarter 1 of the Kepler mission.

The NASA Exoplanet Archive and Exoplanet Follow-up Observing Program: Data, Tools, and Usage

The Planetary Science Journal
The NASA Exoplanet Archive (NEA) and the Exoplanet Follow-up Observing Program service are two widely used resources for the exoplanet community. The NEA provides a complete and accurate accounting of exoplanetary systems published by NASA missions and ...

Modeling the Impact of Unresolved Stellar Companions on Detection Sensitivity in Kepler’s Small-planet Occurrence Rates

The Astronomical Journal
Unresolved stellar companions can cause both underestimations in the radii of transiting planets and overestimations of their detectability, affecting our ability to reliably measure planet occurrence rates.

A Quantitative Comparison of Exoplanet Catalogs

Geosciences, 2018
In this study, we investigated the differences between four commonly-used exoplanet catalogs (exoplanet.eu; exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu; openexoplanetcatalogue.com; exoplanets.org) using a Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS) test.

UNH Observatory Exoplanet Transit Depth Limit [PDF]

, 2019
Using the University of New Hampshire Observatory, we performed multiple exoplanet transits observations on a variety of systems. Of these transits, those performed with ideal weather conditions were chosen to do extensive analysis on. The transit chosen
