, 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

Nature, 2014 We are in the midst of a revolution in our understanding of planets in the Universe. In the last 20 years, 200-times more planets have been discovered beyond our solar system than reside within it. Astronomers are determining their properties, are finding correlations between a star’s type and its planet population, and have begun to probe exoplanetary

Physical Review D, 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 ...

Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 At the dawn of the first discovery of exoplanets orbiting Sun-like stars in the mid-1990s, few believed that observations of exoplanet atmospheres would ever be possible. After the 2002 Hubble Space Telescope detection of a transiting exoplanet atmosphere, many skeptics discounted it as a one-object, one-method success.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2012 Exoplanets—planets orbiting around stars other than our own Sun—appear to be common. Significant research effort is now focused on the observation and characterization of exoplanet atmospheres. Species such as water vapour, methane, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide have been observed in a handful of hot, giant, gaseous planets, but ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 Significance Planets around other stars, or exoplanets, are now known to be common in our galaxy. Exoplanets span a much wider range of physical conditions than the planets in our solar system, and include extremely puffy gas giants to compact rocky planets that can have densities as high as that of iron. The diversity of exoplanets allows us

The Demographics of Exoplanets [PDF]
, 2021 In the broadest sense, the primary goal of exoplanet demographic surveys is to determine the frequency and distribution of planets as a function of as many of the physical parameters that may influence planet formation and evolution as possible, over as broad of a range of these parameters as possible.
