Ohmic Dissipation During the Formation of Super-Earth
The super-Earth population, as one of the representatives of exoplanets, plays an important role in constraining the planet formation theories. According to the prediction from core-accretion models, super-Earths should be rare because their masses are ...

Boundaries of photosynthesis: adaptations of carbon fixation in extreme environments
Photosynthesis faces challenges from environmental extremes of temperature, pH, and salinity, limiting gas diffusion, modifying membrane fluidity, and destabilizing photochemical and biochemical reactions. Photosynthetic organisms have evolved unique adaptations overcoming these stresses and maintaining their photosynthetic activity.

A Framework for Quantifying the Degeneracies of Exoplanet Interior Compositions
Several transiting super-Earths are expected to be discovered in the coming few years. While tools to model the interior structure of transiting planets exist, inferences about the composition are fraught with ambiguities.

A Unified Treatment of Kepler Occurrence to Trace Planet Evolution. I. Methodology
We present Kepler exoplanet occurrence rates for planets between 0.5 and 16 R _⊕ and between 1 and 400 days. To measure occurrence, we use a nonparametric method via a kernel density estimator and use bootstrap random sampling for uncertainty estimation.

Emergent Exoplanet Flux: Review of the Spitzer Results [PDF]
Observations using the Spitzer Space Telescope provided the first detections of photons from extrasolar planets. Spitzer observations are allowing us to infer the temperature structure, composition, and dynamics of exoplanet atmospheres.

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

MagAO-X and HST High-contrast Imaging of the AS209 Disk at Hα
The detection of emission lines associated with accretion processes is a direct method for studying how and where gas giant planets form, how young planets interact with their natal protoplanetary disk, and how volatile delivery to their atmosphere takes

Abstract We investigate the melt production of planetary impacts as a function of planet size (R/REarth $R/{R}_{\text{Earth}}$ = 0.1–1.5), impactor size (L $L$ = 1–1,000 km), and core size ratio (Rcore/R ${R}_{\text{core}}/R$ = 0.2–0.8) using a combination of parameterized convection models and fully dynamical 2D impact simulations.

Investigating the Origins of Hot Neptunes from Radial Velocity Data
Hot Neptunes are extrasolar planets that are similar in size to Neptune in our solar system but are much closer to their host stars, completing an orbit in 10 days or less. The origin of hot Neptunes is not fully understood.
