An extended hydrogen envelope of the extremely hot giant exoplanet KELT-9b [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Giant exoplanets orbiting close to their host stars have high temperatures because of the immense amount of stellar irradiation that they receive. The extreme energy input leads to the expansion of the atmosphere and the escape of neutral hydrogen1-3. An

Unexpected Near-Resonant and Metastable States of Young Multiplanet Systems

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent observations suggest that the incidence of near-resonant planets declines as planetary systems age, making young planetary systems key signposts of early dynamical evolution.

Hide and seek : radial-velocity searches for planets around active stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The detection of low-mass extra-solar planets through radial-velocity searches is currently limited by the intrinsic magnetic activity of the host stars.

Rattle-and-break: The Impact of Planetesimal Scattering on Super-Earth Resonant Chains

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The spacings of super-Earths in multitransiting systems exhibit a distribution that is broad and mostly featureless, with the exception of notable excesses of planet pairs situated a few percent wide of first-order mean-motion resonances (MMRs).

Dynamics and Control of a Disordered System in Space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper, we present some ideas regarding the modeling, dynamics and control aspects of granular spacecraft. Granular spacecraft are complex multibody systems composed of a spatially disordered distribution of a large number of elements, for ...

Clouds and Hazes in GJ 1214 b’s Metal-rich Atmosphere

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The sub-Neptune GJ 1214 b has an infamously flat transmission spectrum, likely due to thick aerosols in its atmosphere. A recent JWST/MIRI spectroscopic phase curve of GJ 1214 b added to this picture, suggesting a highly reflective and metal-rich ...
