The Astronomical JournalThe Kepler mission enabled us to look at the intrinsic population of exoplanets within our galaxy. In period-radius space, the distribution of the intrinsic population of planets contains structure that can trace planet formation and evolution history ...

Variability of Known Exoplanet Host Stars Observed by TESS
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Both direct and indirect methods of exoplanet detection rely upon detailed knowledge of the potential host stars. Such stellar characterization allows for accurate extraction of planetary properties, as well as contributing to our overall understanding ...

A New Set of Atmosphere and Evolution Models for Brown Dwarfs and Giant Exoplanets
, 2019 The study of brown dwarfs and giant exoplanets is rapidly evolving as ever-improving instrumentation becomes sensitive to cooler objects. Accurate and reliable atmosphere and evolutionary models are important for placing mass and age constraints on these newly discovered objects, and understanding the rich chemistry and physics taking place in their ...

On the protection of extrasolar Earth-like planets around K/M stars against galactic cosmic rays
, 2009 Previous studies have shown that extrasolar Earth-like planets in close-in habitable zones around M-stars are weakly protected against galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), leading to a strongly increased particle flux to the top of the planetary atmosphere.

Field‐Aligned Currents and Auroral Precipitation During the Terrestrial Alfvén Wing State
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.Abstract When sub‐Alfvénic (Alfvén Mach number MA< ${\mathrm{M}}_{A}< $1) plasmas impact Earth, Alfvén wings (AWs) develop. A Multiscale Atmosphere Geospace Environment simulation of the April 2023 storm, validated by Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment data, reveals the field‐aligned‐current (FAC) generation ...

Decomposition of Benzene during Impacts in N2-dominated Atmospheres
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Benzene is a simple neutral aromatic compound found in molecular clouds, comets, and planetary atmospheres. It has been confirmed on Jupiter, Saturn, Titan, and is expected on exoplanets.

Ion Escape From Degenerate Induced Magnetospheres: The Case of Mars
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.Abstract When the cone angle of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) becomes small, induced magnetospheres of unmagnetized planets degenerate. Using hybrid simulations, we study ionospheric ion escape in a 4° cone angle case and compare it with the nominal 55° cone angle (Parker spiral) case. The total escape rate is 1.7×1025 $1.7\times 1{0}^{25}$ s−

The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe recent discovery of “ultrahot” ( P < 1 day) Neptunes has come as a surprise: some of these planets have managed to retain gaseous envelopes despite being close enough to their host stars to trigger strong photoevaporation and/or Roche lobe overflow ...

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We leverage Gaia DR2 parallactic distances to deliver new or revised estimates of planetary parameters and X-ray irradiation for a distance-limited (≲100 pc) sample of 27 gaseous planets (from super-Earths to hot Jupiters) with publicly available Chandra
