Helium Atmospheres on Warm Neptune- and Sub-Neptune-Sized Exoplanets and Applications to GJ 436 b [PDF]

, 2015
Warm Neptune- and sub-Neptune-sized exoplanets in orbits smaller than Mercury's are thought to have experienced extensive atmospheric evolution. Here we propose that a potential outcome of this atmospheric evolution is the formation of helium-dominated ...

Chemical modeling of exoplanet atmospheres [PDF]

, 2014
The past twenty years have revealed the diversity of planets that exist in the Universe. It turned out that most of exoplanets are different from the planets of our Solar System and thus, everything about them needs to be explored. Thanks to current observational technologies, we are able to determine some information about the atmospheric composition,

Limits on Stellar Companions to Exoplanet Host Stars With Eccentric Planets [PDF]

, 2014
Though there are now many hundreds of confirmed exoplanets known, the binarity of exoplanet host stars is not well understood. This is particularly true of host stars which harbor a giant planet in a highly eccentric orbit since these are more likely to ...

Planet Populations as a Function of Stellar Properties

, 2018
Exoplanets around different types of stars provide a window into the diverse environments in which planets form. This chapter describes the observed relations between exoplanet populations and stellar properties and how they connect to planet formation ...

An Updated Study of Potential Targets for Ariel [PDF]

, 2019
Ariel has been selected as ESA's M4 mission for launch in 2028 and is designed for the characterisation of a large and diverse population of exoplanetary atmospheres to provide insights into planetary formation and evolution within our Galaxy.

Astrometry of directly imaged exoplanets with optical interferometry

Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2023
Optical interferometry has always been seen as a promising but difficult technique for astronomy. Until the year 2018, it was excrucially limited in sensitivity to magnitudes below 10.

EChOSim: The Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory software simulator [PDF]

, 2014
EChOSim is the end-to-end time-domain simulator of the Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory (EChO) space mission. EChOSim has been developed to assess the capability EChO has to detect and characterize the atmospheres of transiting exoplanets, and ...

The PEPSI Exoplanet Transit Survey (PETS). II. A Deep Search for Thermal Inversion Agents in KELT-20 b/MASCARA-2 b with Emission and Transmission Spectroscopy

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Recent observations have shown that the atmospheres of ultrahot Jupiters (UHJs) commonly possess temperature inversions, where the temperature increases with increasing altitude.

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 ...

Tracing the Contribution of Abiotic Methane in Deep Natural Gases From the Songliao Basin, China Using Bulk Isotopes and Methane Clumped Isotopologue 12CH2D2

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The identification and evaluation of abiotic methane remain an active research area due to uncertainties in traditional indicators that may lead to “false‐positive” detections. As an emerging isotopic tool, methane clumped isotope can provide novel information about the generation and post‐generation processes of methane gases.
