Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering SciencesWe look at what astronomy from the Moon might be like over the next few decades. The Moon offers the possibility of installing large telescopes or interferometers with instruments larger than those on orbiting telescopes. We first present examples of ambitious science cases, in particular ideas that cannot be implemented from Earth.

Exoplanet transit photometry for stellar activity and exomoon research
, 2021 Photometry underlies important discoveries in observational astronomy, from the detection of stellar magnetic phenomena unveiling dynamic dynamo processes to the much sought-after identification of exomoons.

Surprise Nondetection of Upsilon Andromedae b with MIRC-X and MYSTIC at the CHARA Array
The Astronomical JournalGround-based long baseline interferometry is a powerful tool for characterizing exoplanets that are too close to their host star to be imaged with single-dish telescopes. The CHARA Array can resolve companions down to 0.5 mas, allowing us in principle to

Saturns, but Not Super-Jupiters, Occur More Frequently in the Presence of Inner Super-Earths
The Astrophysical JournalStudies from recent years have reached different conclusions regarding how frequently super-Earths are accompanied by long-period giant planets and vice versa. This relation has been predicted to be mass dependent by planet-formation models.

Minimizing Star-spot Contamination of Exoplanet Transit Spectroscopy Using Alternate Normalization
The Astronomical JournalRecently, M. H. Currie et al. (2023) simulated the detection of molecules in the atmospheres of temperate rocky exoplanets transiting nearby M-dwarf stars.

The 0.5MJ transiting exoplanet WASP-13b
, 2009 We report the discovery of WASP-13b, a low-mass Mp = 0.46+0.06 ?0.05 MJ transiting exoplanet with an orbital period of 4.35298 +/- 0.00004 days. The transit has a depth of 9 mmag, and although our follow-up photometry does not allow us to constrain the ...

Comparing Results from Two Uniform Phase-curve Surveys
The Astronomical JournalWe present a comparison of the two most recent and comprehensive Spitzer phase curve studies—L. Dang et al. and M. R. Swain et al.—which report analyses of the Spitzer 4.5 μ m phase curves.

How to Size an Exoplanet? A Model Approach for Visualization
, 2013 The realization and experiences with a physical exoplanet model in the education and outreach are described. During the tests with students in the classroom and adults at public demonstrations, the following conclusions were drawn: in the visualization ...

Identifying Exoplanet Candidates Using WaveCeptionNet
The Astronomical JournalIn this study, we propose a wavelet-transform-based light curve representation method and a CNN model based on Inception-v3 for fast classification of light curves, enabling the quick discovery of potentially interesting targets from massive data ...
