Pulsating stars harbouring planets

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Why bother with asteroseismology while studying exoplanets? There are several answers to this question. Asteroseismology and exoplanetary sciences have much in common and the synergy between the two opens up new aspects in both fields.

Saturns, but Not Super-Jupiters, Occur More Frequently in the Presence of Inner Super-Earths

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Studies from recent years have reached different conclusions regarding how frequently super-Earths are accompanied by long-period giant planets and vice versa. This relation has been predicted to be mass dependent by planet-formation models.

Peas-in-a-pod across the Radius Valley: Rocky Systems Are Less Uniform in Mass but More Uniform in Size and Spacing

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The ubiquity of “peas-in-a-pod” architectural patterns and the existence of the radius valley each presents a striking population-level trend for planets with R _p ≤ 4 R _⊕ that serves to place powerful constraints on the formation and evolution of these

Solar System Ice Giants: Exoplanets in our Backyard

open access: yes, 2018
Future remote sensing of exoplanets will be enhanced by a thorough investigation of our solar system Ice Giants (Neptune-size planets). What can the configuration of the magnetic field tell us (remotely) about the interior, and what implications does that field have for the structure of the magnetosphere; energy input into the atmosphere, and surface ...

Terrestrial Exoplanet Internal Structure Constraints Enabled by Comprehensive Host Star Characterization Reveal That Terrestrial Planets in Mean Motion Resonances Are Water Rich

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Exoplanet mass and radius inferences fundamentally rely on host star mass and radius inferences. Despite the importance of host star mass, radius, and elemental abundance inferences for the derivation of exoplanet internal structure constraints ...

The Case for Edge-on Binaries: An Avenue Toward Comparative Exoplanet Demographics

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Most Sun-like and higher-mass stars reside in systems that include one or more gravitationally bound stellar companions. These systems offer an important probe of planet formation in the most common stellar systems, while also providing key insights into

CNO Isotope Ratios Across Exoplanet Systems: Isotope Analysis in Cool Dwarf Exoplanet Hosts

open access: yes, 2023
To date, there are still only a handful of dwarf star isotopic abundances in the literature and even fewer of those are from exoplanet host stars. Past isotopic searches have been hindered by limited sensitivity and resolution, strong telluric absorption, and the opacity due to millions of other molecular absorption lines that dominate the observed ...

Insight into the Formation of β Pic b through the Composition of Its Parent Protoplanetary Disk as Revealed by the β Pic Moving Group Member HD 181327

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
It has been suggested that β Pic b has a supersolar metallicity and subsolar C/O ratio. Assuming solar carbon and oxygen abundances for the star β Pic and therefore the planet’s parent protoplanetary disk, β Pic b’s C/O ratio suggests that it formed via ...

White dwarf systems: Exoplanets and debris disks

open access: yes
Although there is abundant and diverse observational evidence in support of white dwarf stars hosting planets or debris disks which form in the catastrophic destruction of various planetary bodies, the key processes that explain these observations are still being intensely investigated.

Disrupted Exoplanet Systems in the SuperWASP Archive [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The aim of this research project has been to search for disrupted or disintegrating exoplanets; this search has been carried out using archival data from the Super-WASP (Wide Angle Search for Planets) transit photometry detection programme. The main aim of the archival search was to look for objects similar to Kepler-1520b (Rappaport et al., 2012) and ...
