Precision radial velocities with CSHELL [PDF]
Radial velocity identification of extrasolar planets has historically been dominated by optical surveys. Interest in expanding exoplanet searches to M dwarfs and young stars, however, has motivated a push to improve the precision of near infrared radial ...

Survey and Modeling of Windblown Ejecta Deposits on Venus
Abstract Venus' thick atmosphere rotates in the same direction as the solid body, but ∼60 times faster. This atmospheric superrotation has produced dozens of windblown ejecta deposits (“parabolas”) on the surface of Venus. The formation and modification of parabolas is an interplay between impacts, aeolian modification, and atmospheric dynamics.

Evidence for a Natural Limit to Electron Space Radiation: An Application of Benford's Law
Abstract Recent research has highlighted observational evidence for a natural limit to the severity of energetic electron differential fluxes in the Van Allen radiation belts. Here, we analyze the occurrence distributions of electron differential fluxes from the entire Van Allen Probes mission (2012–2019) to further investigate the energy dependence of

Phase Equilibria of Sub-Neptunes and Super-Earths
We investigate the consequences of nonideal chemical interaction between silicate and overlying hydrogen-rich envelopes for rocky planets using basic tenets of phase equilibria.

Ohmic Dissipation During the Formation of Super-Earth
The super-Earth population, as one of the representatives of exoplanets, plays an important role in constraining the planet formation theories. According to the prediction from core-accretion models, super-Earths should be rare because their masses are ...

Astro2020 Science White Paper: Toward Finding Earth 2.0: Masses and Orbits of Small Planets with Extreme Radial Velocity Precision [PDF]
Having discovered that Earth-sized planets are common, we are now embarking on a journey to determine if Earth-like planets are also common. Finding Earth-like planets is one of the most compelling endeavors of the 21st century - leading us toward ...

On the Measurement of Ocean Acidity With Ambient Sound
Abstract The volume‐integrated pH of seawater can be determined from the frequency and depth dependence of wind‐generated ambient noise in the ocean. Over the 1–10 kHz frequency band, three main processes contribute to the acoustic attenuation in seawater: the chemical relaxation of boric acid and magnesium carbonate (<3 kHz, related to pH) and of ...

Investigating the Origins of Hot Neptunes from Radial Velocity Data
Hot Neptunes are extrasolar planets that are similar in size to Neptune in our solar system but are much closer to their host stars, completing an orbit in 10 days or less. The origin of hot Neptunes is not fully understood.

A Unified Treatment of Kepler Occurrence to Trace Planet Evolution. I. Methodology
We present Kepler exoplanet occurrence rates for planets between 0.5 and 16 R _⊕ and between 1 and 400 days. To measure occurrence, we use a nonparametric method via a kernel density estimator and use bootstrap random sampling for uncertainty estimation.

Ancient Mars Climate With a Polar Ocean and Ice Sheet Dynamics
Abstract In this article, we study the conditions required to maintain a stable ocean on Mars 3 Ga using a new suite of simulations. These simulations couple a 3D Global Climate Model with ocean dynamics and ice sheet flow. The model includes the main processes of the atmosphere/hydrosphere/cryosphere to investigate Mars' ancient climate.
