The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect in Exoplanet Research

open access: yes, 2017
The Rossiter-McLaughlin effect occurs during a planet's transit. It provides the main means of measuring the sky-projected spin-orbit angle between a planet's orbital plane, and its host star's equatorial plane.

Earths in Other Solar Systems N-body simulations: the Role of Orbital Damping in Reproducing the Kepler Planetary Systems

open access: yes, 2020
The population of exoplanetary systems detected by Kepler provides opportunities to refine our understanding of planet formation. Unraveling the conditions needed to produce the observed exoplanets will sallow us to make informed predictions as to where ...

Do Giant Planets Survive Type II Migration? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Planetary migration is one of the most serious problems to systematically understand the observations of exoplanets. We clarify that the theoretically predicted type II migration is too fast, as well as type I migration, by developing detailed analytical arguments in which the timescale of type II migration is compared with the disk lifetime.

Searching for Trojan Asteroids in the HD 209458 System: Space-based MOST Photometry and Dynamical Modeling

open access: yes, 2010
We have searched Microvariability and Oscillations of STars (MOST) satellite photometry obtained in 2004, 2005, and 2007 of the solar-type star HD 209458 for Trojan asteroid swarms dynamically coupled with the system's transiting "hot Jupiter" HD 209458b.

Effect of wind-driven accretion on planetary migration [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2019
Context. Planetary migration is a key link between planet formation models and observed exoplanet statistics. So far, the theory of planetary migration has focused on the interaction of one or more planets with an inviscid or viscously evolving gaseous ...

Deserts and pile-ups in the distribution of exoplanets due to photoevaporative disc clearing [PDF]

open access: yesMon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 422 (2012) L82-L86, 2012
We present models of giant planet migration in evolving protoplanetary discs. We show that disc clearing by EUV photoevaporation can have a strong effect on the distribution of giant planet semi-major axes. During disc clearing planet migration is slowed or accelerated in the region where photoevaporation opens a gap in the disc, resulting in "deserts"

Effects of rotation and magnetic fields on the lithium abundance and asteroseismic properties of exoplanet-host stars

open access: yes, 2010
Aims: The effects of rotation and magnetic fields on the surface abundances of solar-type stars are studied in order to investigate whether the reported difference in lithium content of exoplanet-host stars can be related to their rotational history ...

Tracing the Contribution of Abiotic Methane in Deep Natural Gases From the Songliao Basin, China Using Bulk Isotopes and Methane Clumped Isotopologue 12CH2D2

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The identification and evaluation of abiotic methane remain an active research area due to uncertainties in traditional indicators that may lead to “false‐positive” detections. As an emerging isotopic tool, methane clumped isotope can provide novel information about the generation and post‐generation processes of methane gases.

Statistical Analysis of the Dearth of Super-eccentric Jupiters in the Kepler Sample

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Hot Jupiters may have formed in situ, or been delivered to their observed short periods through one of two categories of migration mechanisms: disk migration or high-eccentricity migration.

The link between disc dispersal by photoevaporation and the semi-major axis distribution of exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We investigate the influence of photoevaporation of protoplanetary discs on the final distribution of exoplanets semi-major axis distances. We model giant planet migration in viscous discs affected by photoevaporation driven by either pure EUV or soft X-ray radiation (XEUV).
