Hot Jupiters Have Giant Companions: Evidence for Coplanar High-eccentricity Migration

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
This study considers the characteristics of planetary systems with giant planets based on a population-level analysis of the California Legacy Survey planet catalog. We identified three characteristics common to hot Jupiters (HJs).

Statistical Scale Analyses of a Diurnal Periodicity in Auroral Kilometric Radiation, Observed by Wind/WAVES

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Earth's strongest natural radio emission is Auroral Kilometric Radiation (AKR), which is correlated with auroral intensity, and is a barometer for space weather. AKR is generated by the electron cyclotron maser instability, with sources on auroral field lines. Previous work on AKR and radio emissions from other planets (or stars) points to

Planet Formation Theory in the Era of ALMA and Kepler: from Pebbles to Exoplanets

Astronomical Society of the Pacific Conference Series, 2023
Our understanding of the planet formation has been rapidly evolving in recent years. The classical planet formation theory, developed when the only known planetary system was our own Solar System, has been revised to account for the observed diversity of the exoplanetary systems.

An Outer Giant Planet or Brown Dwarf in the 51 Pegasi System?

The Astronomical Journal
51 Pegasi harbors the first confirmed extrasolar planet orbiting a Sun-like star. Decades of continued radial velocity (RV) observations have since uncovered signatures of an additional distant companion in the system from a shallow radial acceleration ...

Inferring Io's Internal Properties by Combining Gravity Measurements and Volcanic Activity

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract With its extreme geological activity, Io represents an archetype for tidally heated exoplanets/moons and provides insight into early stages of terrestrial planet evolution. Decades of ground‐based observations and multiple space missions have refined our understanding of Io, yet it remains debated where inside Io the tidal heating takes place.

Exoplanets and Their Characterization in the Environment of Galaxy Formation

Journal of Material Sciences and Engineering Technology
The exploration of exoplanets has emerged as a pivotal area of research in astrophysics, particularly in understanding their formation and evolution within the context of galaxy formation. This paper presents a comprehensive review of current methodologies for exoplanet detection and characterization, emphasizing the interplay between galactic dynamics

Haze Formation in Warm H₂-rich Exoplanet Atmospheres

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.

The Great Cosmic Silence: What Does the Fermi Paradox Tell About the Future of Humanity?

Global Policy, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 553-565, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines how institutional time horizons shape the long‐term survival prospects of human technological civilisation. While research on global catastrophic and existential risks has expanded, the temporal structures of political‐economic institutions remain underexamined.

Friends Not Foes: Strong Correlation between Inner Super-Earths and Outer Gas Giants

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The connection between outer gas giants and inner super-Earths reflects their formation and evolutionary histories. Past work exploring this link has suggested a tentative positive correlation between these two populations, but these studies have been ...

Reanalysis of SKR Source Crossed by Cassini: Loss Cone Electrons as a Secondary Source of Free Energy

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Saturn's Kilometric Radiation (SKR) is a powerful non‐thermal radio auroral emission produced by the Cyclotron Maser Instability (CMI), which generates waves close to the local cyclotron frequency in a highly magnetized plasma from mildly relativistic electrons.
