Binarity of Transit Host Stars - Implications on Planetary Parameters

, 2009
Straight-forward derivation of planetary parameters can only be achieved in transiting planetary systems. However, planetary attributes such as radius and mass strongly depend on stellar host parameters.

Insight into the Formation of β Pic b through the Composition of Its Parent Protoplanetary Disk as Revealed by the β Pic Moving Group Member HD 181327

The Astronomical Journal
It has been suggested that β Pic b has a supersolar metallicity and subsolar C/O ratio. Assuming solar carbon and oxygen abundances for the star β Pic and therefore the planet’s parent protoplanetary disk, β Pic b’s C/O ratio suggests that it formed via ...

Are WASP-107-like Systems Consistent with High-eccentricity Migration?

The Astrophysical Journal
WASP-107 b seems to be a poster child of the long-suspected high-eccentricity migration scenario. It is on a 5.7 day, polar orbit. The planet is Jupiter-like in radius but Neptune-like in mass with exceptionally low density.

Formation of stars, substellar objects and exoplanets : Observations of multiplicity

, 2011
Many nearby stars are part of a binary or multiple system. Details about their history are preserved in their multiplicity characteristics, and observations of binary/multiple star systems provide a way to measure fundamental physical properties of the stars as well as clues to their formation and evolution.

Cloud formation in exoplanet atmospheres : nucleation of small molecular clusters

, 2023
It has been inferred that many exoplanets host clouds in their atmospheres. Understanding the processes through which these clouds form, and being able to model them is essential for our understanding of their climate and to explain our observations.

Directly Imaging Rocky Planets from the Ground [PDF]

, 2019
Over the past three decades instruments on the ground and in space have discovered thousands of planets outside the solar system. These observations have given rise to an astonishingly detailed picture of the demographics of short-period planets, but are

Strong Fractionation of Deuterium and Helium in Sub-Neptune Atmospheres along the Radius Valley

The Astrophysical Journal
We simulate atmospheric fractionation in escaping planetary atmospheres using IsoFATE , a new open-source numerical model. We expand the parameter space studied previously to planets with tenuous atmospheres that exhibit the greatest helium and deuterium
