Mission Design of an Aperture-Synthetic Interferometer System for Space-Based Exoplanet Exploration
Space: Science & Technology, 2022 In recent years, exoplanet detection has become the technological frontier in the field of astronomy, because it provides evidence of the origin of life and the future human habitable exoplanet.

Spectroscopic Transit Search: a self-calibrating method for detecting planets around bright stars [PDF]
, 2019 We search for transiting exoplanets around the star $\beta$ Pictoris using high resolution spectroscopy and Doppler imaging that removes the need for standard star observations.

A simple analysis of earthlike exoplanets [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The astrobiology is an interdisciplinary science, combining the methods and the means of physics, biology, chemistry and astronomy. Its main purpose is to find out if the exoplanets are habitable and if so, to confirm life on them. The basic conditions for habitability are the essential ones, like these on the Earth.

Aerosol Composition of Hot Giant Exoplanets Dominated by Silicates and Hydrocarbon Hazes [PDF]
, 2020 Aerosols are common in the atmospheres of exoplanets across a wide swath of temperatures, masses, and ages. These aerosols strongly impact observations of transmitted, reflected, and emitted light from exoplanets, obfuscating our understanding of exoplanet thermal structure and composition.

The Locus Algorithm IV: Performance metrics of a grid computing system used to create catalogues of optimised pointings [PDF]
, 2020 This paper discusses the requirements for and performance metrics of the the Grid Computing system used to implement the Locus Algorithm to identify optimum pointings for differential photometry of 61,662,376 stars and 23,779 quasars. Initial operational

Search for possible exomoons with FAST telescope [PDF]
, 2017 Our knowledge of the Solar System, encourages us to beleive that we might expect exomoons to be present around some of the known exoplanets. With present hardware and existing optical astronomy methods we shall not be able to find exomoons at least 10 years from now and even then, it will be a hard task to detect them.

Ponderings on the Possible Preponderance of Perpendicular Planets
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Misalignments between planetary orbits and the equatorial planes of their host stars are clues about the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Earlier work found evidence for a peak near 90° in the distribution of stellar obliquities, based on ...
