The Interior and Atmosphere of the Habitable-zone Exoplanet K2-18b [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2020
Exoplanets orbiting M-dwarfs present a valuable opportunity for their detection and atmospheric characterization. This is evident from recent inferences of H2O in such atmospheres, including that of the habitable-zone exoplanet K2-18b.

Direct Evidence of Photochemistry in an Exoplanet Atmosphere

open access: yes, 2022
Photochemistry is a fundamental process of planetary atmospheres that is integral to habitability, atmospheric composition and stability, and aerosol formation. However, no unambiguous photochemical products have been detected in exoplanet atmospheres to

The single beacon: progresses in understanding Earth as an exoplanet using DSCOVR/EPIC observations

open access: yesFrontiers in Remote Sensing
Almost 6000 exoplanets have thus far been confirmed, revolutionizing our understanding of planetary habitability. Yet, despite the identification of Earth-like exoplanets, definitive evidence of extraterrestrial life remains elusive.

Classification of Trajectories in a Two-planet Exosystem Using the Generalized Three-body Problem

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We deploy the theory of the generalized three-body problem to describe an exosystem composed of a host star, a transiting Jupiter-sized exoplanet, and an Earth-sized exoplanet.

Predictions of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Galactic Exoplanet Survey. II. Free-floating Planet Detection Rates [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2020
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) will perform a Galactic Exoplanet Survey (RGES) to discover bound exoplanets with semimajor axes greater than 1 au using gravitational microlensing. Roman will even be sensitive to planetary-mass objects that

The NASA exoplanet archive: data and tools for exoplanet research

open access: yes, 2013
We describe the contents and functionality of the NASA Exoplanet Archive, a database and toolset funded by NASA to support astronomers in the exoplanet community.

The 0.5MJ transiting exoplanet WASP-13b [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We report the discovery of WASP-13b, a low-mass $ M_{\rm p} = 0.46 ^_~M_J$ transiting exoplanet with an orbital period of 4.35298 $\pm$ 0.00004 days. The transit has a depth of 9 mmag, and although our follow-up photometry does not allow us to constrain ...

Variability of Known Exoplanet Host Stars Observed by TESS

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Both direct and indirect methods of exoplanet detection rely upon detailed knowledge of the potential host stars. Such stellar characterization allows for accurate extraction of planetary properties, as well as contributing to our overall understanding ...

petitRADTRANS: a Python radiative transfer package for exoplanet characterization and retrieval. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We present the easy-to-use, publicly available, Python package petitRADTRANS, built for the spectral characterization of exoplanet atmospheres. The code is fast, accurate, and versatile; it can calculate both transmission and emission spectra within a ...
