An Eccentric Sub-Neptune Moving Into the Evaporation Desert

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Though missions such as Kepler, K2, and TESS have discovered >2000 sub-Neptune and Neptunian planets, there is a dearth of such planets at close-in ( P ≲ 3 days) orbits. This feature, called the Neptune desert or the evaporation desert, is believed to be

A Complex Systems Approach to Exoplanet Atmospheric Chemistry: New Prospects for Ruling Out the Possibility of Alien Life As We Know It

The Planetary Science Journal
The near-term ability to characterize terrestrial exoplanet atmospheres may bring us closer to discovering alien life through atmospheric data. However, remotely detectable candidate biosignature gases are subject to false-positive signals because they ...

Biases from Missing a Small Planet in High Multiplicity Systems

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
In an era when we are charting multiple planets per system, one might wonder the extent to which “missing” (or failing to detect) a planet can skew our interpretation of the system architecture. We address this question with a simple experiment: starting

Astrophysics datamining in the classroom: Exploring real data with new software tools and robotic telescopes

, 2012
Within the efforts to bring frontline interactive astrophysics and astronomy to the classroom, the Hands on Universe (HOU) developed a set of exercises and platform using real data obtained by some of the most advanced ground and space observatories. The

Carving Out the Inner Edge of the Period Ratio Distribution through Giant Impacts

The Astrophysical Journal
The distribution of orbital period ratios between adjacent observed exoplanets is approximately uniform, but exhibits a strong falloff toward close orbital separations.

The Epoch of Giant Planet Migration Planet Search Program. II. A Young Hot Jupiter Candidate around the AB Dor Member HS Psc

The Astronomical Journal
We report the discovery of a hot Jupiter candidate orbiting HS Psc, a K7 (≈0.7 M _⊙ ) member of the ≈130 Myr AB Doradus moving group. Using radial velocities over 4 yr from the Habitable-zone Planet Finder spectrograph at the Hobby–Eberly Telescope, we ...

Resonant and Ultra-short-period Planet Systems Are at Opposite Ends of the Exoplanet Age Distribution

The Astronomical Journal
Exoplanet systems are thought to evolve on secular timescales over billions of years. This evolution is impossible to directly observe on human timescales in most individual systems.
