Revised exoplanet radii and habitability using Gaia Data Release 2

open access: yes, 2018
Accurate stellar properties are crucial for determining exoplanet characteristics. Gaia DR2 presents revised distances, luminosities, and radii for 1.6 billion stars. Here, we report the calculation of revised radii and densities for 320 exoplanets using

The Science of Exoplanets and Their Systems [PDF]

open access: yesAstrobiology, 2013
A scientific forum on "The Future Science of Exoplanets and Their Systems," sponsored by Europlanet and the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) and co-organized by the Center for Space and Habitability (CSH) of the University of Bern, was held during December 5 and 6, 2012, in Bern, Switzerland.

Reflected Spectroscopy of Small Exoplanets II: Characterization of Terrestrial Exoplanets

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2022
Abstract A space telescope capable of high-contrast imaging has been recognized as the avenue toward finding terrestrial planets around nearby Sun-like stars and characterizing their potential habitability. It is thus essential to quantify the capability of reflected light spectroscopy obtained through direct imaging for terrestrial ...

Predicting Nitrogen Isotope Fractionation in Nitrate Deposition on Early Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Noachian and early Hesperian Mars were likely warm and wet, with an atmosphere abundant in molecular nitrogen. The recent discovery of nitrate deposits in the Yellowknife Bay mudstones at Gale Crater confirm the existence of nitrogen oxides (NOX) on Noachian Mars. The processes responsible for the production of these nitrates would fractionate

Using dimers to measure biosignatures and atmospheric pressure for terrestrial exoplanets

open access: yes, 2014
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

Aerosols in Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Observations of exoplanet atmospheres have shown that aerosols, like in the Solar System, are common across a variety of temperatures and planet types. The formation and distribution of these aerosols are inextricably intertwined with the composition and

On the Detection of Low‐Frequency Planetary Radio Emission With an Orbiting Interferometer

open access: yesRadio Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The magnetized planets of the outer Solar System produce kilometric radio emissions at very low frequencies (<1 ${< } 1\,$MHz). They reveal the planetary magnetic dynamics and their interaction with the solar wind. Those radio emissions can also serve as a proxy for interplanetary space weather monitoring.

Abiotic ozone and oxygen in atmospheres similar to prebiotic earth

open access: yes, 2014
The search for life on planets outside our solar system will use spectroscopic identification of atmospheric biosignatures. The most robust remotely detectable potential biosignature is considered to be the detection of oxygen (O2) or ozone (O3 ...

Abundances in Stars with Exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004
Extensive spectroscopic studies of stars with and without planets have concluded that stars hosting planets are significantly more metal-rich than those without planets. More subtle trends of different chemical elements begin to appear as the number of detected extrasolar planetary systems continues to grow.

Advancing Heliophysics and Space Weather Modeling Through Open Science

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a community‐wide effort to develop a strategy and action plan to advance heliophysics and space weather modeling through open science. While open science has the potential to enhance the quality and pace of scientific discovery, its application to scientific modeling requires more careful consideration regarding open data and open ...
