Boundary Layers of Circumplanetary Disks around Spinning Planets. I. Effects of Rossby Waves

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Gas giant planets are believed to accrete from their circumplanetary disks (CPDs). The CPDs usually involve accretion through the boundary layer (BL) in the vicinity of planets. Prior studies have concentrated on the BL of nonspinning planets.

The WFC3 Galactic Bulge Treasury Program: Metallicity Estimates for the Stellar Population and Exoplanet Hosts

, 2010
We present new UV-to-IR stellar photometry of four low-extinction windows in the Galactic bulge, obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

State‐Dependence of Polar Amplification in an Idealized GCM

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Polar amplification (PA) is a robust feature of contemporary climate change, but its state‐dependence across different climate conditions is poorly understood despite potential relevance to paleoclimate records and future projections. Here we examine the state‐dependence of PA across a wide range of climate states in an idealized moist general

The Formation of Ultra-short-period Planets under the Influence of the Nearby Planetary Companions

The Astrophysical Journal
Ultra-short-period (USP) planets, defined as those with orbital periods shorter than 1 day, provide valuable insights into planetary evolution under strong stellar tidal interactions.

The CoRoT Exoplanet program : status & results [PDF]

, 2011
The CoRoT satellite is the first instrument hunting for planets from space. We will review the status of the CoRoT/Exoplanet program. We will then present the CoRoT exoplanetary systems and how they widen the range of properties of the close-in ...

PERICLES: A Set of Empirical Rotational Isochrones Modeled on Cool Dwarfs in Open Clusters and Wide Binaries

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Isochrones, equal‐age curves, are widely used in astrophysics to estimate stellar ages. Classical stellar parameters are, however, very limited in their usability for main sequence stars because of their weak age‐dependence. Here, rotation period measurements provide complementary information.

Phase Equilibria of Sub-Neptunes and Super-Earths

The Planetary Science Journal
We investigate the consequences of nonideal chemical interaction between silicate and overlying hydrogen-rich envelopes for rocky planets using basic tenets of phase equilibria.

MagAO-X and HST High-contrast Imaging of the AS209 Disk at Hα

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
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

Olivine‐Ahrensite Phase Relations in the Mg2SiO4‐Fe2SiO4 System as a Function of Temperature

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Olivine and ahrensite are the primary components of the interiors of Fe‐rich terrestrial planets and meteorites, making their phase relations crucial for planetary science. Moreover, their phase relations can be used for calibrating large‐volume high‐pressure devices such as multi‐anvil apparatus.
