Commissioning an Inexpensive Off‐The‐Shelf Spectrograph for Radial‐Velocity Studies

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT We present a way to set up an inexpensive out of the shelf spectrograph at a local observatory. Stability and resolution of the spectrograph are high enough for radial velocity determination of binary stars or determination of stellar characteristics. Even some exoplanets might be detectable via the radial velocity method.

Galactic Cosmic Ray Ionization on Uranus; Geomagnetic Latitude Dependencies

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) are a major source of atmospheric ionization, influencing ion abundance, aerosol formation, and electrical processes. GCR‐induced effects are expected to be more pronounced on Uranus than planets closer to the Sun for two reasons; reduced solar irradiance, and weaker solar modulation of incident GCR.

The Astrometric Resoeccentric Degeneracy: Eccentric Single Planets Mimic 2:1 Resonant Planet Pairs in Astrometry

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Detections of long-period giant exoplanets will expand dramatically with Gaia Data Release 4, but interpreting these signals will require care. We derive the astrometric resoeccentric degeneracy: an astrometric analogue of the well-known radial velocity ...

Using near infra-red spectroscopy for characterization of transiting exoplanets

, 2015
We propose a method for observing transiting exoplanets with near-infrared high-resolution spectrometers. We aim to create a robust data analysis method for recovering atmospheric transmission spectra from transiting exoplanets over a wide wavelength ...

Diurnal Variability Modulates Episodic Convection in Hothouse Climates Over Ocean and Swamp‐Like Surface Conditions

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Hot and moist “hothouse” climates occurred in Earth's past and are expected in Earth's far future climate, driven by increasing solar luminosity. In hothouse climate regimes, precipitation transitions from a quasi‐steady state, as in present‐day tropical convection, to an “episodic deluge” or relaxation‐oscillator (RO) regime where ...

TESS Giants Transiting Giants. VI. Newly Discovered Hot Jupiters Provide Evidence for Efficient Obliquity Damping after the Main Sequence

The Astronomical Journal
The degree of alignment between a star’s spin axis and the orbital plane of its planets (the stellar obliquity) is related to interesting and poorly understood processes that occur during planet formation and evolution.

Exoplanet Terra Incognita

, 2018
Exoplanet surface imaging, cartography and the search for exolife are the next frontiers of planetology and astrophysics. Here we present an over-view of ideas and techniques to resolve albedo features on exoplanetary surfaces.

Bridging Clarity and Accuracy: A Simple Spectral Longwave Radiation Scheme for Idealized Climate Modeling

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Parameterizing radiative transfer in climate models means navigating trade‐offs between physical accuracy and conceptual clarity. However, currently available schemes sit at the extremes of this spectrum: correlated‐k schemes are fast and accurate but rely on lookup tables which obscure the underlying physics and make such schemes difficult to

Gaia-4b and 5b: Radial Velocity Confirmation of Gaia Astrometric Orbital Solutions Reveal a Massive Planet and a Brown Dwarf Orbiting Low-mass Stars

The Astronomical Journal
Gaia astrometry of nearby stars is precise enough to detect the tiny displacements induced by substellar companions, but radial velocity (RV) data are needed for definitive confirmation.
