The Fourier-Kelvin Stellar Interferometer: a low-complexity low-cost space mission for high-resolution astronomy and direct exoplanet detection [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2006 The Fourier-Kelvin Stellar Interferometer (FKSI) is a mission concept for a spacecraft-borne nulling interferometer for high-resolution astronomy and the direct detection of exoplanets and assay of their environments and atmospheres. FKSI is a high angular resolution system operating in the near to midinfrared spectral region and is a scientific and ...

Simultaneous Infrared Observations of the Jovian Auroral Ionosphere and Thermosphere. [PDF]
J Geophys Res Space PhysAbstract Simultaneous observations of H3+ ${\mathrm{H}}_{3}^{+}$ and H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ in Jupiter's northern infrared aurora were conducted on 02 June 2017 using Keck‐NIRSPEC to produce polar projection maps of H3+ ${\mathrm{H}}_{3}^{+}$ radiance, rotational temperature, column density, and H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$ radiance. The temperature variations

Astronomy First direct detection of an exoplanet by optical interferometry Astrometry and K -band spectroscopy of HR 8799 e [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 Aims. To date, infrared interferometry at best achieved contrast ratios of a few times 10−4 on bright targets. GRAVITY, with its dual-field mode, is now capable of high contrast observations, enabling the direct observation of exoplanets. We demonstrate the technique on HR 8799, a young planetary system composed of four known giant exoplanets. Methods.

Astronomy from the moon in the next decades: from exoplanets to cosmology in visible light and beyond [PDF]
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.

Classification of Trajectories in a Two-planet Exosystem Using the Generalized Three-body Problem
The 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.

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