Homogeneous statistical distributions of exoplanets over their dynamic parameters [PDF]
Cosmic Research, 2010 Correct distributions of extrasolar systems for their orbital parameters (semi-major axes, period, eccentricity) and physical characteristics (mass, spectral type of parent star) are received. Orbital resonances in extrasolar systems are considered. It is shown, that the account of more thin effects, including with use of wavelet methods, in obviously ...

TOI-1136 is a Young, Coplanar, Aligned Planetary System in a Pristine Resonant Chain
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Convergent disk migration has long been suspected to be responsible for forming planetary systems with a chain of mean-motion resonances (MMRs). Dynamical evolution over time could disrupt the delicate resonant configuration. We present TOI-1136, a 700 ±

A New Method For Studying Exoplanet Atmospheres Using Planetary Infrared Excess [PDF]
ApJL 898 L35 (2020), 2020 To date, the ability for observers to reveal the composition or thermal structure of an exoplanet's atmosphere has rested on two techniques: high-contrast direct imaging and time-series observations of transiting exoplanets. The former is currently limited to characterizing young, massive objects while the latter requires near 90 degree orbital ...

Aerosols in Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]
, 2021 Observations of exoplanet atmospheres have shown that aerosols, like in the Solar System, are common across a variety of temperatures and planet types. The formation and distribution of these aerosols are inextricably intertwined with the composition and thermal structure of the atmosphere.

Emergent Exoplanet Flux: Review of the Spitzer Results [PDF]
, 2008 Observations using the Spitzer Space Telescope provided the first detections of photons from extrasolar planets. Spitzer observations are allowing us to infer the temperature structure, composition, and dynamics of exoplanet atmospheres.

Climate Modeling of a Potential ExoVenus [PDF]
, 2018 The planetary mass and radius sensitivity of exoplanet discovery capabilities has reached into the terrestrial regime. The focus of such investigations is to search within the Habitable Zone where a modern Earth-like atmosphere may be a viable comparison.

DIRECT MEASURE OF RADIATIVE AND DYNAMICAL PROPERTIES OF AN EXOPLANET ATMOSPHERE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2016 ABSTRACT Two decades after the discovery of 51 Peg b, the formation processes and atmospheres of short-period gas giants remain poorly understood. Observations of eccentric systems provide key insights on those topics as they can illuminate how a planet’s atmosphere responds to changes in incident flux.

Validating AU Microscopii d with Transit Timing Variations
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 AU Mic is a young (22 Myr), nearby exoplanetary system that exhibits excess transit timing variations (TTVs) that cannot be accounted for by the two known transiting planets nor stellar activity.

Exoplanet albedo spectra and colors as a function of planet phase, separation, and metallicity [PDF]
, 2010 First generation optical coronagraphic telescopes will obtain images of cool gas and ice giant exoplanets around nearby stars. The albedo spectra of exoplanets at planet-star separations larger than about 1 AU are dominated by reflected light to beyond 1
