The 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
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.

Classify and Explore the Diversity of Planetary Population and Interior Properties
The 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.

Kepler-80 Revisited: Assessing the Participation of a Newly Discovered Planet in the Resonant Chain
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 In this paper, we consider the chain of resonances in the Kepler-80 system and evaluate the impact that the additional member of the resonant chain discovered by Shallue & Vanderburg has on the dynamics of the system and the physical parameters that can ...

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We study the emergent spectral fluxes of transiting hot Jupiters, using secondary eclipses from Spitzer. To achieve a large and uniform sample, we have reanalyzed all secondary eclipses for all hot Jupiters observed by Spitzer at 3.6 and/or 4.5 μ m.

Exoplanets in physics and astronomy teaching
Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Ciência e Tecnologia, 2021 This article aims to investigate Physics teaching and scientific dissemination activities with the main theme being the study of exoplanets, planets belonging to a star system distinct from our solar system. The theoretical basis of the project involves reading and writing about articles, books, theses and dissertations focused on the themes of this ...

Validating AU Microscopii d with Transit Timing Variations
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 AU Mic is a young (22 Myr), nearby exoplanetary system that exhibits excess transit timing variations (TTVs) that cannot be accounted for by the two known transiting planets nor stellar activity.
