Simultaneous characterization of the atmospheres, surfaces, and exomoons of nearby rocky exoplanets
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2018 Atmospheric composition is an important indicator of habitability and life. The presence or absence of a large exomoon around an Earth-size exoplanet could have important consequences for planet climate stability.

SPHERE: the exoplanet imager for the Very Large Telescope [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 Observations of circumstellar environments that look for the direct signal of exoplanets and the scattered light from disks have significant instrumental implications.

Plausible Constraints on the Range of Bulk Terrestrial Exoplanet Compositions in the Solar Neighborhood [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Rocky planet compositions regulate planetary evolution by affecting core sizes, mantle properties, and melting behaviors. Yet, quantitative treatments of this aspect of exoplanet studies remain generally underexplored.

ExoGemS Detection of a Metal Hydride in an Exoplanet Atmosphere at High Spectral Resolution
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Exoplanet atmosphere studies are often enriched by synergies with brown dwarf analogs. However, many key molecules commonly seen in brown dwarfs have yet to be confirmed in exoplanet atmospheres.

Optimization applied to selected exoplanets [PDF]
Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy, 2021 Transit and radial velocity models were applied to archival data in order to examine exoplanet properties, in particular for the recently discovered super-Earth GJ 357b. There is however considerable variation in estimated model parameters across the literature, and especially their uncertainty estimates.

Abiotic ozone and oxygen in atmospheres similar to prebiotic earth [PDF]
, 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 ...

Photosynthesis in Hydrogen-Dominated Atmospheres
Life, 2014 The diversity of extrasolar planets discovered in the last decade shows that we should not be constrained to look for life in environments similar to early or present-day Earth.

Is there an exoplanet in the Solar system? [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2016 Abstract We investigate the prospects for the capture of the proposed Planet 9 from other stars in the Sun's birth cluster. Any capture scenario must satisfy three conditions: the encounter must be more distant than ∼150 au to avoid perturbing the Kuiper belt; the other star must have a wide-orbit planet (a ≳ 100 au); the planet must be ...

Atmospheric circulation of exoplanets
地球与行星物理论评, 2023 To date, more than 5000 exoplanets and more than 2000 brown dwarfs have been confirmed, which shows rich diversities in many aspects. With the rapid growth of the planet family, both observational and theoretical research on exoplanet atmosphere is ...
