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 ...

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 ...

APPLE: An Evolution Code for Modeling Giant Planets

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We introduce APPLE , a novel planetary evolution code designed specifically for the study of giant exoplanet and Jovian planet evolution in the era of Galileo, Juno, and Cassini. With APPLE , state-of-the-art equations of state for hydrogen, helium, ice,

Physical constraints for the evolution of life on exoplanets

open access: yes, 2018
Recently, many Earth-sized planets have been discovered around stars other than the Sun that might possess appropriate conditions for life. The development of theoretical methods for assessing the putative habitability of these worlds is of paramount importance, since it serves the dual purpose of identifying and quantifying what types of biosignatures

Resonant and Ultra-short-period Planet Systems Are at Opposite Ends of the Exoplanet Age Distribution

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Exoplanet systems are thought to evolve on secular timescales over billions of years. This evolution is impossible to directly observe on human timescales in most individual systems.

Pushing the envelope of exoplanet evolution modelling

open access: yes, 2021
Propelled by the discovery of the first exoplanet thirty years ago, the scientific community has rallied and made tremendous strides towards a full understand of the formation and evolution of planetary systems. During this period, over 4, 300 confirmed exoplanets have been detected, and the resulting dataset has driven a revolution by allowing for new

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

Coupled Planetary Interior and Tidal Evolution

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a new planetary structure/thermal evolution model, designed for use in problems that couple orbital dynamics with planetary structure. We first benchmark our structural/thermal evolution calculations against the MESA stellar evolution code ...
