Warm Jupiter Tidal Migration Can Spare Inner Planets; Hot Jupiter Tidal Migration May Not
The Astrophysical JournalIn this work, we investigate the dynamical survival of short-period inner planets during the high-eccentricity tidal migration of companion exterior giant planets.

White dwarf systems: Exoplanets and debris disks
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.

Spectral Image Models of Planetary Systems for Simulating Exoplanet Observations [PDF]
, 2015 Future missions to characterize exoplanets will require instruments tailored to finding a habitable exoplanet: suppressing the bright star while still directly observing planets at small angular separations.

The Astrophysical JournalPeas-in-a-Pod (PIAP) systems have been shown to be common across exoplanet systems, with regular planet spacings and similar planet sizes. In contrast, ultra-short-period planets have displayed distinct differences from PIAP systems, including higher ...

Exoplanet Research with NASA\u27s EXOTIC [PDF]
The investigation of exoplanets is a relatively recent field with abundant potential. The launch of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in 2018 marks an exponential increase in the amount of exoplanets we can study.

The Astrophysical JournalPlanet formation models suggest that the small exoplanets that migrate from beyond the snowline of the protoplanetary disk likely contain water-ice-rich cores (∼50% by mass), also known as water worlds.

Exoplanet Detection : A Detailed Analysis [PDF]
The exoplanet detection is the most exciting and challenging field of astronomy. The discovery of many exoplanets has revolutionized our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems and has showed new ways to search for extra ...

Main-sequence exoplanet systems: tidal evolution [PDF]
The easiest exoplanets to detect are those that orbit very close to their hoststars. As a result, even though these planets are quite rare, they represent amajor fraction of the current exoplanet population.

Exoplanet Demographics: Physical and Orbital Properties [PDF]
The discovery of over 5700 exoplanets has led to a boom in the field of exoplanet demographics over the past decade. Led by swaths of exoplanet discoveries from NASA\u27s Kepler space mission, astronomers have been conducting statistical studies of the ...
