Exoplanet Research with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) [PDF]
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-up observations during planetary transits and eclipses are feasible with SOFIA's instrumentation ...

New Astronomy Reviews Special Issue: History of Kepler's Major Exoplanet "Firsts" [PDF]
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.

Exoplanets and Radio Astronomy Beyond Earth [PDF]
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]
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.

Bayesian analysis of exoplanet and binary orbits [PDF]
We introduce BASE (Bayesian astrometric and spectroscopic exoplanet detection and characterisation tool), a novel program for the combined or separate Bayesian analysis of astrometric and radial-velocity measurements of potential exoplanet hosts and binary stars.

Evolution of novel activation functions in neural network training for astronomy data: habitability classification of exoplanets [PDF]
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]
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.
