Propagation Dynamics of Fast Electron Beam and Its Electron Cyclotron Maser Emission
Abstract Fast electron beams (FEBs) and coherent radio bursts both are very common plasma activity phenomena in the cosmos. The electron cyclotron maser (ECM) instability driven by FEBs trapped in magnetic fields can directly amplify radio wave radiations.

This review article delves into the study of low-mass exoplanets: super-Earths, mini-Neptunes and the new categories within and between that we are starting to discover. We provide an overview of current exoplanet observational capabilities, their limitations, and what they are allowing us to learn about low-mass planets.

Direct imaging of exoplanets [PDF]
Most of the exoplanets known today have been discovered by indirect techniques, based on the study of the host star radial velocity or photometric temporal variations. These detections allowed the study of the planet populations in the first 5–8 AU from the central stars and have provided precious information on the way planets form and evolve at such ...

A Solar Analog Model for Decrease in Far Ultraviolet Irradiance Under a Grand Minimum
Abstract Solar analog field stars having a range of magnetic activity can provide an estimate of solar spectral irradiance (SSI) variability relevant to understanding the Sun's influence on terrestrial climate. This approach is particularly useful for far ultraviolet (FUV) irradiance that cannot be observed from the Earth surface.

Using dimers to measure biosignatures and atmospheric pressure for terrestrial exoplanets [PDF]
We present a new method to probe atmospheric pressure on Earth-like planets using (O-O) dimers in the near-infrared. We also show that dimer features could be the most readily detectable biosignatures for Earth-like atmospheres and may even be detectable

ROME. III. The Arecibo Search for Star–Planet Interactions at 5 GHz
After nearly three decades of discovery, many exoplanetary systems have been studied and characterized in detail with one important exception: exoplanet magnetism.

Abstract The Earth's strongest natural radio emission is Auroral Kilometric Radiation (AKR), which is correlated with auroral intensity, and is a barometer for space weather. AKR is generated by the electron cyclotron maser instability, with sources on auroral field lines. Previous work on AKR and radio emissions from other planets (or stars) points to

Helium in the eroding atmosphere of an exoplanet [PDF]
Helium is the second-most abundant element in the Universe after hydrogen and is one of the main constituents of gas-giant planets in our Solar System.
