The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect in Exoplanet Research
The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect occurs during a planet's transit. It provides the main means of measuring the sky-projected spin-orbit angle between a planet's orbital plane, and its host star's equatorial plane.

Abstract Xenon (Xe) is a heavy noble gas with intriguing chemical properties, such as having several stable isotopes and the ability to form compounds under extreme conditions. Despite the predictions based on cosmochemical models that suggest xenon should be relatively abundant in planetary reservoirs, empirical data indicate a significant depletion ...

Short-period sub-Neptunes are common in extrasolar systems. These sub-Neptunes are generally thought to have primary atmospheres of protoplanetary-disk gas origin.

The Architectural Design Rules of Solar Systems based on the New Perspective
On the basis of the Lunar Laser Ranging Data released by NASA on the Silver Jubilee Celebration of Man Landing on Moon on 21st July 1969-1994, theoretical formulation of Earth-Moon tidal interaction was carried out and Planetary Satellite Dynamics was ...

Modeling Wind‐Driven Waves on Other Planets: Applications to Mars, Titan, and Exoplanets
Abstract Waves could exist on any planet with sustained winds and stable surface liquids. However, differences in atmospheres, liquids, and gravity confound efforts to extend Earth‐based empirical wave models to other planetary environments. We adapted a physics‐based numerical wave model to study how planetary conditions affect the growth of waves. We

Impacting Atmospheres: How Late-stage Pollution Alters Exoplanet Composition
The atmospheric composition of exoplanets is often considered as a probe of the planet’s formation conditions. How exactly the initial chemical memory may be altered from the birth to the final state of the planet, however, remains unknown.

Oxidation of the Interiors of Carbide Exoplanets
Astrophysical measurements have shown that some stars have sufficiently high carbon-to-oxygen ratios such that the planets they host would be mainly composed of carbides instead of silicates.

Searching for Rotational X‐Ray Modulation on TIC 277539431
ABSTRACT TIC 277539431, a fast rotating M7 dwarf, was detected to host the highest latitude flare to date at 81°$$ {81}^{{}^{\circ}} $$. Magnetic activity like stellar flares occurring at high latitude indicate occurrence of coronal loops at these latitudes on fully‐convective M dwarfs. In contrast, sunspots usually occur below 30°$$ {30}^{{}^{\circ}} $

The Not-so Dramatic Effect of Advective Flows on Gas Accretion
Super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are the most common types of exoplanets discovered, yet the physics of their formation are still debated. Standard core accretion models in gas-rich environments find that typical mini-Neptune mass planets would blow up ...
