exoMMR: A New Python Package to Confirm and Characterize Mean Motion Resonances
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The study of orbital resonances allows for the constraint of planetary properties of compact systems. We can predict a system’s resonances by observing the orbital periods of the planets, as planets in or near mean motion resonance (MMR) have period ...

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present a validation of a long-period ( ${91.68278}_{-0.00041}^{+0.00032}$ days) transiting sub-Neptune planet, TOI-1221 b (TIC 349095149.01), around a Sun-like ( m _V = 10.5) star.

Exploring Climate with Obliquity in a Variable-eccentricity Earth-like World
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Exploring planetary systems similar to our solar system can provide a means to explore a large range of possibly temperate climates on Earth-like worlds.

Kepler-80 Revisited: Assessing the Participation of a Newly Discovered Planet in the Resonant Chain
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 In this paper, we consider the chain of resonances in the Kepler-80 system and evaluate the impact that the additional member of the resonant chain discovered by Shallue & Vanderburg has on the dynamics of the system and the physical parameters that can ...

Longitudinally Asymmetric Stratospheric Oscillation on a Tidally Locked Exoplanet [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Using a three-dimensional general circulation model, we show that the atmospheric dynamics on a tidally locked Earth-like exoplanet, simulated with the planetary and orbital parameters of Proxima Centauri b, support a longitudinally asymmetric ...

Predicted Number, Multiplicity, and Orbital Dynamics of TESS M-dwarf Exoplanets [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2019 Abstract We present a study of the M-dwarf exoplanetary systems forthcoming from NASA’s TESS mission. While the mission’s footprint is too complex to be characterized by a single detection completeness, we extract ensemble completeness functions that recover the planet detections from previous work for stars between 3200 and 4000 K.

The Sensitivity of Eclipse Mapping to Planetary Rotation
The Astronomical Journal, 2022 Mapping exoplanets across phases and during secondary eclipse is a powerful technique for characterizing Hot Jupiters in emission. Since these planets are expected to rotate about axes normal to their orbital planes, with rotation periods synchronized ...

Dynamical Evolution of Closely Packed Multiple Planetary Systems Subject to Atmospheric Mass Loss
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 A gap in exoplanets’ radius distribution has been widely attributed to the photoevaporation threshold of their progenitors’ gaseous envelope. Giant impacts can also lead to substantial mass loss.

Nature Communications, 2022 Electrolytes play an important role in the internal structure and dynamics of water-rich satellites and potentially water-rich exoplanets. However, in planets, the presence of a large high-pressure ice mantle is thought to hinder the exchange and ...
