Wide-Orbit Exoplanet Demographics [PDF]

, 2019
Astro2020 Science White paper 2019International audienceThe Kepler, K2 and TESS transit surveys are revolutionizing our understanding of planets orbiting close to their host stars and our understanding of exoplanet systems in general, but there remains a

Solar System Physics for Exoplanet Research

, 2020
Over the past three decades, we have witnessed one of the great revolutions in our understanding of the cosmos — the dawn of the Exoplanet Era. Where once we knew of just one planetary system (the solar system), we now know of thousands, with new systems

Free Floating or Merely Detached?

The Astrophysical Journal
Microlensing 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 Journal
Although 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.

Search for circum-planetary material and orbital period variations of short-period Kepler exoplanet candidates

, 2014
A unique short-period (P = 0.65356(1) d) Mercury-size Kepler exoplanet candidate KIC012557548b has been discovered recently by Rappaport et al. (2012).

A Direct Comparison between the Use of Double Gray and Multiwavelength Radiative Transfer in a General Circulation Model with and without Radiatively Active Clouds

The Astrophysical Journal
Inhomogeneous 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 ...

Helium-poor Winds Do Not Require Helium-poor Planets

The Astrophysical Journal
Observations of the metastable He i 10830 Å triplet have revealed escaping exoplanet atmospheres whose inferred helium abundances range from nearly nebular compositions to strongly helium-depleted winds. Such depletion is commonly interpreted as evidence
