Characterization of exoplanets from their formation [PDF]
Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2012 A first characterization of many exoplanets has recently been achieved by the observational determination of their radius. For some planets, a measurement of the luminosity has also been possible, with many more directly imaged planets expected in the future.

Haze Formation in Warm H2-rich Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]
The Planetary Science Journal, 2020 Abstract New observing capabilities coming online over the next few years will provide opportunities for characterization of exoplanet atmospheres. However, clouds/hazes could be present in the atmospheres of many exoplanets, muting the amplitude of spectral features.

On the Local Formation of the TRAPPIST-1 Exoplanets [PDF]
The Astronomical JournalAbstract The discovery of seven approximately Earth-mass planets orbiting the 0.09 M ⊙ M dwarf TRAPPIST-1 captivated the public and sparked a proliferation of investigations into the system’s origins. Among other properties, the resonant architecture of the planets has been interpreted to imply that orbital migration ...

Planet formation – implication of statistical properties of exoplanets [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2010 Models of planetary formation are developed based on the observation of our Solar System, star-forming regions and circumstellar disks and on an the ever increasing number of exoplanetary systems. The solar nebula theory and the planetesimal hypothesis are discussed.

Exoplanet formation inference using conditional invertible neural networks [PDF]
The interpretation of the origin of observed exoplanets is usually done only qualitatively due to uncertainties of key parameters in planet formation models. To allow a quantitative methodology which traces back in time to the planet birth locations, we train recently developed conditional invertible neural networks (cINN) on synthetic data from a ...

The Clear Sky Corridor: Insights Towards Aerosol Formation in Exoplanets Using An AI-based Survey of Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]
The Astronomical JournalAbstract Producing optimized and accurate transmission spectra of exoplanets from telescope data has traditionally been a manual and labor intensive procedure. Here we present the results of the first attempt to improve and standardize this procedure by using artificial-intelligence-based (AI-based) processing of light curves and ...
