A Population of Very-Hot Super-Earths in Multiple-Planet Systems Should be Uncovered by Kepler

, 2010
We simulate a Kepler-like observation of a theoretical exoplanet population and we show that the observed orbital period distribution of the Kepler giant planet candidates is best matched by an average stellar specific dissipation function Q_* in the ...

The Bochum Survey of the Southern Galactic Disk: III. Complete Data Release

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Southern Galactic Disk Survey (GDS) monitored a mosaic of 268 fields along a 6°$$ {6}^{{}^{\circ}} $$‐wide stripe in the southern Galactic disk with simultaneous observations in r′$$ {r}^{\prime } $$ and i′$$ {i}^{\prime } $$ (7m≲r′,i′≲18m$$ {7}^{\mathrm{m}}\lesssim {r}^{\prime },{i}^{\prime}\lesssim {18}^{\mathrm{m}} $$) from September ...

Enhanced constraints on the interior composition and structure of terrestrial exoplanets [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
Exoplanet interior modelling usually makes the assumption that the elemental abundances of a planet are identical to those of its host star. Host stellar abundances are good proxies of planetary abundances, but only for refractory elements. This is particularly true for terrestrial planets, as evidenced by the relative differences in bulk chemical ...

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

The 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 ...

Effects of Hydrogen on Fe‐S Alloys and Their Implications for the Martian Core

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Meteorites suggest the Martian core comprises iron (Fe) or iron‐nickel (Fe‐Ni) alloy with sulfur (S) identified as the primary light element. The InSight data revealed a larger, less dense Martian core than previously estimated, indicating additional light elements.

Asteroseismology of Exoplanet Host Stars

, 2015
Asteroseismology is among the most powerful observational tools to determine fundamental properties of stars. Space-based photometry has recently enabled the systematic detection of oscillations in exoplanet host stars, allowing a combination of ...

Magnetic Evolution of Super‐Earth Exoplanets With a Basal Magma Ocean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Habitability of super‐Earths likely requires self‐sustained magnetic fields to shield their atmospheres from stellar forcing. Extreme pressures and temperatures probably produce a long‐lived basal magma ocean (BMO), a potential source for these fields.

The Coronal Structure of the Sun-Like Exoplanet-Host GJ 3021 [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2014
AbstractWe present the results of a numerical simulation of the corona and wind structure of the Sun-like exoplanet-host GJ 3021 using a global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model. The simulation is driven by the radial component of the surface magnetic field recovered with the Zeeman Doppler Imaging (ZDI) technique.

JWST Discovers the Vertical Structure of Uranus' Ionosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract On 19 January 2025, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) program # $\mathrm{\#}$5073 observed Uranus for almost a full rotation with NIRSpec. We present the first ever vertical ionospheric profiles of H3+ ${\mathrm{H}}_{3}^{+}$ temperature, volumetric density and total emission.

Irradiated Atmospheres. IV. Effect of Mixing Heat Flux on Chemistry

The Astrophysical Journal
Vertical mixing disrupts the thermochemical equilibrium and introduces additional heat flux that alters exoplanetary atmospheric temperatures. We investigate how this mixing-induced heat flux affects atmospheric chemistry.
