Diversitate si Identitate Culturala in Europa, 2016 Exoplanets, discovered by Mayor and Queloz, have changed our definition of the word planet. Nowadays, nobody can defin precisely this term. Study this exemple shows that the referential sense is neither in words, nor in the head, but in a linguistic use,

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 Equations of exoplanet's motion connected with orbital Lindblad resonances with the account of secular terms caused by gravitational non-resonant perturbation are derived. Qualitative researches of orbital evolution modeling exoplanet systems are carried

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-

The Future of Exoplanet Direct Detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Diffraction fundamentally limits our ability to image and characterize exoplanets. Current and planned coronagraphic searches for exoplanets are making incredible strides but are fundamentally limited by the inner working angle of a few lambda/D.

Characterizing Exoplanet Habitability [PDF]
, 2017 A habitable exoplanet is a world that can maintain stable liquid water on its surface. Techniques and approaches to characterizing such worlds are essential, as performing a census of Earth-like planets that may or may not have life will inform our understanding of how frequently life originates and is sustained on worlds other than our own ...

Microlensing Searches for Exoplanets [PDF]
Geosciences, 2018 Gravitational microlensing finds planets through their gravitational influence on the light coming from a more distant background star. The presence of the planet is then inferred from the tell-tale brightness variations of the background star during the lensing event, even if no light is detectable from the planet or the host foreground star.

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.

Evidence for enhanced chromospheric Ca II H & K emission in stars with close-in extrasolar planets [PDF]
, 2012 The planet-star interaction is manifested in many ways. It was found out that a close-in exoplanet causes small but measurable variability in the cores of a few lines in the spectra of several stars which corresponds to the orbital period of the exoplanet. Stars with and without exoplanets may have different properties. The main goal of our study is to
