Ancient Mars Climate With a Polar Ocean and Ice Sheet Dynamics
Abstract In this article, we study the conditions required to maintain a stable ocean on Mars 3 Ga using a new suite of simulations. These simulations couple a 3D Global Climate Model with ocean dynamics and ice sheet flow. The model includes the main processes of the atmosphere/hydrosphere/cryosphere to investigate Mars' ancient climate.

Exoplanet Detection Using Machine Learning : A Comparative Study Using Kepler Mission Data
The search for habitable planets outside our solar system has captivated scientists throughout the centuries. Discovery and characterization of exoplanets have been one of the most important endeavors of modern astronomy.

Abstract Thermal convective processes in the liquid cores of terrestrial planetary bodies with the capacity to generate magnetic dynamos may be better characterized by thermal conductivity estimates of core conditions. The composition of the core of asteroid 4 Vesta as determined by geochemical studies of HED meteorites is used as an analog for the ...

Surprise Nondetection of Upsilon Andromedae b with MIRC-X and MYSTIC at the CHARA Array
Ground-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
Studies 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.

The Robo-AO-2 facility for rapid visible/near-infrared AO imaging and the demonstration of hybrid techniques [PDF]
We are building a next-generation laser adaptive optics system, Robo-AO-2, for the UH 2.2-m telescope that will deliver robotic, diffraction-limited observations at visible and near-infrared wavelengths in unprecedented numbers.

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

Identifying Exoplanet Candidates Using WaveCeptionNet
In 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 ...

The third transit of snow-line exoplanet Kepler-421b [PDF]
The Kepler Mission has uncovered a handful of long-period transiting exoplanets that orbit from the cold outer reaches of their systems, despite their low transit probabilities.

Investigating the physical properties of transiting hot Jupiters with the 1.5-m Kuiper Telescope
We present new photometric data of 11 hot Jupiter transiting exoplanets (CoRoT-12b, HAT-P-5b, HAT-P-12b, HAT-P-33b, HAT-P-37b, WASP-2b, WASP-24b, WASP-60b, WASP-80b, WASP-103b, XO-3b) in order to update their planetary parameters and to constrain ...
