Three-dimensional Orbital Architectures and Detectability of Adjacent Companions to Hot Jupiters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The orbital properties of the (as yet) small population of hot Jupiters with nearby planetary companions provide valuable constraints on the past migration processes of these systems.

Most Super-Earths Have Less Than 3% Water

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Super-Earths are highly irradiated, small planets with bulk densities approximately consistent with Earth. We construct combined interior atmosphere models of super-Earths that trace the partitioning of water throughout a planet, including an iron-rich ...

A High-resolution Non-detection of Escaping Helium in the Ultrahot Neptune LTT 9779b: Evidence for Weakened Evaporation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The recent discovery of “ultrahot” ( P < 1 day) Neptunes has come as a surprise: some of these planets have managed to retain gaseous envelopes despite being close enough to their host stars to trigger strong photoevaporation and/or Roche lobe overflow ...

The coupled tidal evolution of the moons and spins of warm exoplanets

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The Solar System giant planets harbor a wide variety of moons. Among them, the largest moons have moon-to-planet mass ratios of the order of 10 −4 . Moons around exoplanets are plausibly similarly abundant, even though most of them are likely too small to be ...

Helium in the Extended Atmosphere of the Warm Superpuff TOI-1420b

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Superpuffs are planets with exceptionally low densities ( ρ ≲ 0.1 g cm ^−3 ) and core masses ( M _c ≲ 5 M _⊕ ). Many lower-mass ( M _p ≲ 10 M _⊕ ) superpuffs are expected to be unstable to catastrophic mass loss via photoevaporation and/or boil-off ...

Sub-Neptune Memories. I. Implications of Inefficient Mantle Cooling and Silicate Rain

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We explore the evolution of sub-Neptune (radii between ∼1.5 and 4 R _⊕ ) exoplanet interior structures using our upgraded evolution code, APPLE , which self-consistently couples the thermal and compositional evolution of the whole structure.

Characterizing Exoplanet Habitability

open access: yes
A habitable exoplanet is a world that can maintain stable liquid water on its surface. Techniques and approaches to characterizing such worlds are essential, as performing a census of Earth-like planets that may or may not have life will inform our ...

Peas-in-a-pod across the Radius Valley: Rocky Systems Are Less Uniform in Mass but More Uniform in Size and Spacing

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The ubiquity of “peas-in-a-pod” architectural patterns and the existence of the radius valley each presents a striking population-level trend for planets with R _p ≤ 4 R _⊕ that serves to place powerful constraints on the formation and evolution of these
