Observations of Exoplanet Atmospheres
, 2015 Detailed characterization of an extrasolar planet's atmosphere provides the best hope for distinguishing the makeup of its outer layers, and the only hope for understanding the interplay between initial composition, chemistry, dynamics & circulation, and

Three-dimensional Orbital Architectures and Detectability of Adjacent Companions to Hot Jupiters
The Astrophysical JournalThe orbital properties of the (as yet) small population of hot Jupiters with nearby planetary companions provide valuable constraints on the past migration processes of these systems.

The Dynamics-Based Approach to Studying Terrestrial Exoplanets
, 2007 One of the great quests of astronomy is to obtain the spectrum of a terrestrial planet orbiting within the habitable zone of its star, and the dominant challenge in doing so is to isolate the light of the planet from that of the star. Dynamics-based methods separate these signals temporally, whereas imaging techniques do so spatially.

On the Stability of Super-Earth Atmospheres
, 2012 We investigate the stability of super Earth atmospheres around M stars using a 7-parameter, analytical framework. We construct stability diagrams in the parameter space of exoplanetary radius versus semi-major axis and elucidate the regions in which the ...

Evidence for a Peak at ∼0.3 in the Eccentricity Distribution of Typical Super-Jovian Exoplanets
The Astrophysical Journal LettersIn this study, we compute completeness-corrected occurrence rates of giant exoplanets as a function of mass, semimajor axis, and eccentricity, using the approximately uniform California Legacy Survey sample of radial velocity-discovered planets published

Free Floating or Merely Detached?
The Astrophysical JournalMicrolensing surveys suggest the presence of a surprisingly large population of free-floating planets, with a rate of about two Neptunes per star.

A Comprehensive Analysis of Spitzer 4.5 μm Phase Curves of Hot Jupiters
The Astronomical JournalAlthough exoplanetary science was not initially projected to be a substantial part of the Spitzer mission, its exoplanet observations set the stage for current and future surveys with JWST and Ariel.

The Astrophysical JournalInhomogeneous cloud formation and wavelength-dependent phenomena are expected to shape hot Jupiter atmospheres. We present a general circulation model with multiwavelength “picket fence” radiative transfer and radiatively active, temperature-dependent ...

Eccentricity Evolution of Warm Jupiters: The Role of Distant Perturbers and nearby Companions
The Astrophysical JournalWarm Jupiters (WJs)—giant exoplanets with orbital periods between 10 and 200 days—exhibit a broad range of eccentricities and are often accompanied by nearby low-mass planets.
