The varied surfaces and atmospheres of planets make them interesting places to live, explore, and study from afar. Unfortunately, the great distance to exoplanets makes it impossible to resolve their disk with current or near-term technology. It is still

Constraining Exoplanet Mass from Transmission Spectroscopy [PDF]
Determination of an exoplanet's mass is a key to understanding its basic properties, including its potential for supporting life. To date, mass constraints for exoplanets are predominantly based on radial velocity (RV) measurements, which are not suited ...

The Effects of Irradiation on Hot Jovian Atmospheres: Heat Redistribution and Energy Dissipation
Hot Jupiters, due to the proximity to their parent stars, are subjected to a strong irradiating flux which governs their radiative and dynamical properties.

Emergent Exoplanet Flux: Review of the Spitzer Results [PDF]
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.

Elevated Eccentricities in the Radius Valley Hint at Water-rich Mini-Neptunes
While recent planet-formation models broadly reproduce the observed population of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes, as well as the bimodal radius distribution (the “radius valley”), it remains unclear whether all these planets share a common rocky ...

CONTEXT: High-precision stellar analyses require hydrodynamic modeling to interpret chemical abundances or oscillation modes. Exoplanet atmosphere studies require stellar background spectra to be known along the transit path while detection of Earth ...

ABSTRACT Background Video data provides rich opportunities to examine student behaviour in game‐based learning environments, capturing not only observable actions but also subtle indicators of cognitive engagement. However, traditional video analysis is labor‐intensive, and current applications of AI to this task are limited by models trained on ...

Formation of Ultra-short-period Planets in Hot Jupiter Systems: Application to WASP-47
The WASP-47 system is notable as the first known system hosting both inner and outer low-mass planetary companions around a hot Jupiter, with an ultra-short-period (USP) planet as the innermost planetary companion.

Classification of Trajectories in a Two-planet Exosystem Using the Generalized Three-body Problem
We deploy the theory of the generalized three-body problem to describe an exosystem composed of a host star, a transiting Jupiter-sized exoplanet, and an Earth-sized exoplanet.

Exoplanet phase curves: observations and theory
Phase curves are the best technique to probe the three dimensional structure of exoplanets' atmospheres. In this chapter we first review current exoplanets phase curve observations and the particular challenges they face.
