Dynamics of Small Solar System Bodies and Exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Gaia space mission to be operated in early 2012 by the European Space Agency (ESA), will make a huge step in our knowledge of the Sun's neighbor-hood, up to the Magellanic clouds. Somewhat closer, Gaia will also provide ma jor improvements in the science of asteroids, and more generally to our Solar System, either directly or indirectly.

On homogeneous statistical distributions exoplanets for their dynamic parameters

open access: yes, 2009
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 ...

A Comprehensive Analysis of Spitzer 4.5 μm Phase Curves of Hot Jupiters

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Although exoplanetary science was not initially projected to be a substantial part of the Spitzer mission, its exoplanet observations set the stage for current and future surveys with JWST and Ariel.

A Direct Comparison between the Use of Double Gray and Multiwavelength Radiative Transfer in a General Circulation Model with and without Radiatively Active Clouds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Inhomogeneous cloud formation and wavelength-dependent phenomena are expected to shape hot Jupiter atmospheres. We present a general circulation model with multiwavelength “picket fence” radiative transfer and radiatively active, temperature-dependent ...

Toward High-precision Mass Measurements of Two Sub-Neptunes in the K2-266 Planetary System Through Transit Timing

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Sub-Neptunes have been found to be one of the most common types of exoplanets, yet their physical parameters and properties are poorly determined and in need of further investigation.

Architecture Classification for Extrasolar Planetary Systems

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
This paper presents a classification framework for the architectures of planetary systems based on a complete survey of the confirmed exoplanet population. With nearly 6000 confirmed exoplanets discovered, including more than 300 multiplanet systems with

Dependence of Planet Populations on Stellar Mass and Metallicity: A Pebble-accretion-based Planet Population Synthesis Model

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The formation and evolution of planetary systems are linked to their host stellar environment. In this study, we employ a pebble-accretion-based planet population synthesis model to explore the correlation between planetary properties and stellar mass ...

An Eccentric Sub-Neptune Moving Into the Evaporation Desert

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Though missions such as Kepler, K2, and TESS have discovered >2000 sub-Neptune and Neptunian planets, there is a dearth of such planets at close-in ( P ≲ 3 days) orbits. This feature, called the Neptune desert or the evaporation desert, is believed to be
