Effects of rotation and magnetic fields on the lithium abundance and asteroseismic properties of exoplanet-host stars

, 2010
Aims: The effects of rotation and magnetic fields on the surface abundances of solar-type stars are studied in order to investigate whether the reported difference in lithium content of exoplanet-host stars can be related to their rotational history ...

Magnetic field evolution of hot exoplanets

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT Numerical simulations have shown that the strength of planetary magnetic fields depends on the convective energy flux emerging from planetary interiors. Here, we model the interior structure of gas giant planets using mesa, to determine the convective energy flux that can drive the generation of magnetic field. This flux is then

A Population of Very-Hot Super-Earths in Multiple-Planet Systems Should be Uncovered by Kepler

, 2010
We simulate a Kepler-like observation of a theoretical exoplanet population and we show that the observed orbital period distribution of the Kepler giant planet candidates is best matched by an average stellar specific dissipation function Q_* in the ...

Searching for Earth analogues around the nearest stars: the disk age-metallicity relation and the age distribution in the Solar Neighbourhood

, 2007
The chemical composition of Earth's atmosphere has undergone substantial evolution over the course of its history. It is possible, even likely, that terrestrial planets in other planetary systems have undergone similar changes; consequently, the age ...

Out There No One Has a Right to Die

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The eventual goal of space exploration is to colonize exoplanets and their moons outside our solar system. This is a dangerous and immoral endeavour. The extraterrestrial life forms encountered would be hostile, vulnerable or both, and the descendants of the original pioneers would be involuntarily exposed to hazardous conditions and ...

Fleeting but Not Forgotten: The Imprint of Escaping Hydrogen Atmospheres on Super-Earth Interiors

The Astrophysical Journal
Small, close-in exoplanets are divided into two subpopulations: super-Earths and sub-Neptunes. Most super-Earths are thought to have lost their primordially accreted hydrogen-dominated atmospheres via thermally driven winds.

Design Considerations for Visualization Transitions of 3D Spatial Data in Hybrid AR‐Desktop Environments

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We present design considerations for animated transitions of the appearance of 3D spatial datasets in a hybrid Augmented Reality‐desktop context. Such hybrid interfaces combine both traditional and immersive displays to facilitate the exploration of 2D and 3D data representations in the environment in which they are best displayed.

Unveiling the atmospheric evolution of exoplanets

, 2021
A thorough characterisation of an exoplanetary system includes also studying the evolution of planetary atmospheres. To this end, we developed a custom tool to estimate the atmospheric content of exoplanets at the dispersal of the protoplanetary disk accounting for the present day system observables. In detail, our tool relies on planetary evolutionary

Constraining Atmospheric Composition from the Outflow: Helium Observations Reveal the Fundamental Properties of Two Planets Straddling the Radius Gap

The Astronomical Journal
TOI-836 is a ∼2–3 Gyr K dwarf with an inner super Earth ( R  = 1.7 R _⊕ , P = 3.8 days) and an outer mini-Neptune ( R  = 2.6 R _⊕ , P = 8.6 days). JWST/NIRSpec 2.8–5.2 μ m transmission spectra are flat for both planets.
