High resolution imaging with Fresnel interferometric arrays: suitability for exoplanet detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We propose a new kind of interferometric array that yields images of high dynamic range and large field. The numerous individual apertures in this array form a pattern related to a Fresnel zone plate. This array can be used for astrophysical imaging over

The Not-so Dramatic Effect of Advective Flows on Gas Accretion

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are the most common types of exoplanets discovered, yet the physics of their formation are still debated. Standard core accretion models in gas-rich environments find that typical mini-Neptune mass planets would blow up ...

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

open access: yesThe 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.

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.

The Power of a Name: Toward a Unified Approach to Naming Space Weather Events

open access: yesPerspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Our increasing reliance on technology vulnerable to space weather effects underscores the urgent need for effective public communication about these phenomena. While scientific research thrives on precise technical language, broader public engagement necessitates a more accessible and memorable approach.

Impacting Atmospheres: How Late-stage Pollution Alters Exoplanet Composition

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The atmospheric composition of exoplanets is often considered as a probe of the planet’s formation conditions. How exactly the initial chemical memory may be altered from the birth to the final state of the planet, however, remains unknown.

TOI-1695 b: A Water World Orbiting an Early-M Dwarf in the Planet Radius Valley

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Characterizing the bulk compositions of transiting exoplanets within the M dwarf radius valley offers a unique means to establish whether the radius valley emerges from an atmospheric mass-loss process or is imprinted by planet formation itself.

Evolutionary and functional relationships between plant and microbial C1 metabolism in terrestrial ecosystems

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 1132-1153, November 2025.
Summary One‐carbon (C1) metabolism, centered on the universal methyl donor S‐adenosyl methionine (SAM), plays critical roles in biosynthesis, redox regulation, and stress responses across plants and microbes. A recently proposed photosynthetic C1 pathway links SAM methyl groups directly to RuBisCO‐mediated CO2 assimilation and integrates with nitrogen ...

High contrast imaging at the LBT: the LEECH exoplanet imaging survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In Spring 2013, the LEECH (LBTI Exozodi Exoplanet Common Hunt) survey began its $\sim$130-night campaign from the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) atop Mt Graham, Arizona. This survey benefits from the many technological achievements of the LBT, including
