Theoretical models of planetary system formation. II. Post-formation evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We extend the results of planetary formation synthesis by computing the long-term evolution of synthetic systems from the clearing of the gas disk into the dynamical evolution phase.

Two Suns in The Sky: Stellar Multiplicity in Exoplanet Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present results of a reconnaissance for stellar companions to all 131 radial-velocity-detected candidate extrasolar planetary systems known as of July 1, 2005.

Exoplanet albedo spectra and colors as a function of planet phase, separation, and metallicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
First generation optical coronagraphic telescopes will obtain images of cool gas and ice giant exoplanets around nearby stars. The albedo spectra of exoplanets at planet-star separations larger than about 1 AU are dominated by reflected light to beyond 1

The Giant Accreting Protoplanet Survey (GAPlanetS)—Results from a 6 yr Campaign to Image Accreting Protoplanets

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Accreting protoplanets are windows into planet formation processes, and high-contrast differential imaging is an effective way to identify them. We report results from the Giant Accreting Protoplanet Survey (GAPlanetS), which collected H α differential ...

From Methane to Nanodiamond Precursors in Water: Superacid‐like Condensation Pathways Under Extreme Conditions

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 3, 16 January 2026.
Under extreme pressure and temperature, superionic water acts as a strong superacid, catalyzing methane polycondensation through pentacoordinated carbonium ions (CH5+). This discovery reveals the non‐classical carbocation chemistry underlying the early stages of diamond formation in water under extreme conditions.

Planet Populations as a Function of Stellar Properties

open access: yes, 2018
Exoplanets around different types of stars provide a window into the diverse environments in which planets form. This chapter describes the observed relations between exoplanet populations and stellar properties and how they connect to planet formation ...

Scaling K2. VI. Reduced Small-planet Occurrence in High-galactic-amplitude Stars

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
In this study, we performed a homogeneous analysis of the planets around FGK dwarf stars observed by the Kepler and K2 missions, providing spectroscopic parameters for 310 K2 targets —including 239 Scaling K2 hosts—observed with Keck/HIRES.

Theoretical Spectra of Terrestrial Exoplanet Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We investigate spectra of airless rocky exoplanets with a theoretical framework that self-consistently treats reflection and thermal emission. We find that a silicate surface on an exoplanet is spectroscopically detectable via prominent Si-O features in ...

Radial velocity eclipse mapping of exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Planetary rotation rates and obliquities provide information regarding the history of planet formation, but have not yet been measured for evolved extrasolar planets.
