A JWST NIRSpec Phase Curve for WASP-121b: Dayside Emission Strongest Eastward of the Substellar Point and Nightside Conditions Conducive to Cloud Formation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present the first exoplanet phase-curve measurement made with the JWST NIRSpec instrument, highlighting the exceptional stability of this newly commissioned observatory for exoplanet climate studies.

Exoplanets and Radio Astronomy Beyond Earth [PDF]

open access: yes2021 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.

Classify and Explore the Diversity of Planetary Population and Interior Properties

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Classification is an essential method and has been developed widely in astronomy. However, planets still lack a universal classification framework, because the solar system planet sample is too small for statistical analysis.

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.

The Impact of the Free-floating Planet Mass Function on the Event Rate for Accurate Microlensing Parallax Determination: Application to Euclid and Roman Parallax Observation

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
A microlensing event is mainly used to search for free-floating planets (FFPs). To estimate the FFP mass and distance via the microlensing effect, a microlensing parallax is one of the key parameters.

Fizzy Super-Earths: Impacts of Magma Composition on the Bulk Density and Structure of Lava Worlds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Lava worlds are a potential emerging population of Super-Earths that are on close-in orbits around their host stars, with likely partially molten mantles. To date, few studies have addressed the impact of magma on the observed properties of a planet.

Validation of TOI-1221 b: A Warm Sub-Neptune Exhibiting Transit Timing Variations around a Sun-like Star

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present a validation of a long-period ( ${91.68278}_{-0.00041}^{+0.00032}$ days) transiting sub-Neptune planet, TOI-1221 b (TIC 349095149.01), around a Sun-like ( m _V = 10.5) star.

Astronomy: Exoplanets on the cheap [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 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.

Exploring Climate with Obliquity in a Variable-eccentricity Earth-like World

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Exploring planetary systems similar to our solar system can provide a means to explore a large range of possibly temperate climates on Earth-like worlds.
