Exoplanet Research with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) [PDF]
, 2018 When the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) was conceived and its first science cases defined, exoplanets had not been detected. Later studies, however, showed that optical and near-infrared photometric and spectrophotometric follow-

New Astronomy Reviews special issue: History of Kepler’s major exoplanet “firsts” [PDF]
New Astronomy Reviews, 2018 NASA's Kepler Mission revolutionized exoplanet science in the early part of the 2010's. Looking back from the perspective of the end of that decade, Kepler appears to have burst upon the scene ready for battle, like Athena springing forth, fully formed, from the head of Zeus. The story was not so simple.

First exoplanet transit observation with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy: confirmation of Rayleigh scattering in HD 189733 b with the High-Speed Imaging Photometer for Occultations [PDF]
Journal of Astronomical Telescopes, Instruments, and Systems, 2015 . Here, we report on the first successful exoplanet transit observation with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). We observed a single transit of the hot Jupiter HD 189733 b, obtaining two simultaneous primary transit lightcurves

Exoplanets and Radio Astronomy Beyond Earth [PDF]
2021 XXXIVth General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI GASS), 2021 Jupiter's radio emission has been linked to its planetary-scale magnetic field, and spacecraft investigations have revealed that most planets, and some moons, have or had a global magnetic field. Generated by internal dynamos, magnetic fields are one of the few remote sensing means of constraining the properties of planetary interiors.

Astronomy: Exoplanets on the cheap [PDF]
Nature, 2011 The search for planets outside our Solar System will always be pricey. But creative solutions are proving that it no longer has to break the bank.

Evolution of novel activation functions in neural network training for astronomy data: habitability classification of exoplanets [PDF]
The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2020 Quantification of habitability is a complex task. Previous attempts at measuring habitability are well documented. Classification of exoplanets, on the other hand, is a different approach and depends on quality of training data available in habitable exoplanet catalogs.

Teaching astronomy and astrophysics with Hands-On-Universe and SalsaJ: stars, planets, exoplanets and dark matter [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009 AbstractHow can teachers and researchers contribute to a new world-wide way to teach astronomy? The Hands-On-Universe group proposes multi-media tools, from remote telescopes to image processing, inspired by the most recent research activities in astronomy and astrophysics.
