Discovery, Characterization, and Dynamics of Transiting Exoplanets [PDF]

open access: possible, 2015
Are we alone in the Universe? So far, the question remains unanswered, but a significant leap forward was achieved two decades ago, with the discovery of the first planets orbiting stars other than our Sun. Almost 2000 exoplanets have now been detected.

The Compositional and Dynamical Properties of Exoplanets

The solid surface density profile of protoplanetary discs, and the composition of these solids, can be formed through sequential condensation models of dust precipitating from the cooling gas of the solar nebula. I continue developing a code that reproduces the chemical compositions of most chondrites as well as the bulk compositions of the rocky ...

Coupling the Atmospheric and Dynamical Evolution of Close-in Exoplanets

The vast majority of the detected exoplanets orbit in less than a month around their star, in extreme conditions unmet in the Solar System. The demographics of these close-in planets exhibit a striking feature: the lack of Neptune-size worlds on very short orbits, also dubbed the "Neptunian desert", which challenges our understanding of planetary ...

Interior dynamics of small-core and coreless exoplanets

Since the first exoplanet detection in 1992, the study of exoplanets has received considerable attention. It is becoming apparent that the diversity of the general exoplanet population extends beyond that of the Solar System and includes a variety of structures and compositions.

The long-term tidal dynamics of differentiated rocky exoplanets

OverviewTidal interaction plays a unique role in coupling the thermal, orbital, and rotational evolution of close-in moons and exoplanets. The reaction of a planetary body subjected to tidal loading is determined by its interior structure, rheological properties, and orbital parameters. The interior and orbital dynamics are, conversely, affected by the
