Dynamics of Two Planets near a 2:1 Resonance: Case Studies of Known and Synthetic Exosystems on a Grid of Initial Configurations

open access: yesUniverse
The distribution of period ratios for 580 known two-planet systems is apparently nonuniform, with several sharp peaks and troughs. In particular, the vicinity of the 2:1 commensurability seems to have a deficit of systems.

The MgI line: a new probe of the atmospheres of evaporating exoplanets

open access: yes, 2014
Transit observations of HD209458b in the UV revealed signatures of neutral magnesium escaping the planet's upper atmosphere. The absorption detected in the MgI line provides unprecedented information on the physical conditions at the altitude where the ...

Olivine‐Ahrensite Phase Relations in the Mg2SiO4‐Fe2SiO4 System as a Function of Temperature

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Olivine and ahrensite are the primary components of the interiors of Fe‐rich terrestrial planets and meteorites, making their phase relations crucial for planetary science. Moreover, their phase relations can be used for calibrating large‐volume high‐pressure devices such as multi‐anvil apparatus.

Regular and chaotic orbits in the dynamics of exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yesThe European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2016
Many of exoplanetary systems consist of more than one planet and the study of planetary orbits with respect to their long-term stability is very interesting. Furthermore, many exoplanets seem to be locked in a mean-motion resonance (MMR), which offers a phase protection mechanism, so that, even highly eccentric planets can avoid close encounters ...

Investigating the Origins of Hot Neptunes from Radial Velocity Data

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Hot Neptunes are extrasolar planets that are similar in size to Neptune in our solar system but are much closer to their host stars, completing an orbit in 10 days or less. The origin of hot Neptunes is not fully understood.

A Library of 77 Multibody Solar and Extrasolar Subsystems—A Review of Their Dynamical Properties, Global Mean-Motion Resonances, and the Landau-Damped Mean Tidal Fields

open access: yesAstronomy
We revisit 77 relaxed (extra)solar multibody (sub)systems containing 2–9 bodies orbiting about gravitationally dominant central bodies. The listings are complete down to (sub)systems with 5 orbiting bodies and additionally contain 33 smaller systems with

A Cross‐Correlation Method to Evaluate Wind Retrieval Accuracy on Mars Using Simulated Microwave Limb Sounder Observations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract While aspects such as the temperature and composition of the Martian atmosphere are relatively well known thanks to observations from numerous space missions, Martian atmospheric dynamics remain poorly constrained due to the scarcity of direct wind measurements. The use of microwave limb sounders to retrieve winds has been proposed in the past,

Exoplanet winds: Modelling atmospheric dynamics via resolved spectral lines

open access: yes, 2021
This thesis benchmarked a new probe of atmospheric dynamics in exoplanet atmospheres by resolving the spectral lines stemming from these far atmospheres and then modelling their line shape taking into account the broadening from atmospheric winds. This gives us a window into atmospheric winds for these far away worlds only limited by the depths of the ...

Laser Guide Star for Large Segmented-Aperture Space Telescopes, Part I: Implications for Terrestrial Exoplanet Detection and Observatory Stability

open access: yes, 2018
Precision wavefront control on future segmented-aperture space telescopes presents significant challenges, particularly in the context of high-contrast exoplanet direct imaging.
