ExoplanetExplorer: Contextual Visualization of Exoplanet Systems [PDF]

open access: yes2023 IEEE Visualization and Visual Analytics (VIS), 2023
An exoplanet is a planet outside of our solar system. Researchers study known exoplanets and gather data about them through observations and derived data. Ongoing efforts involve finding planets with an environment that supports life, which likely exists

Exoplanet Systems and Their Stars

2018
This chapter highlights the amazing diversity of exoplanet worlds: planets can orbit neutron stars and giant stars, evaporate in the heat of their stars or have deep oceans, and may suffer from everlasting daysides and nightsides. A few enjoy two or more suns, and some bear a rough similarity to Earth with possible liquid water on their surface.

The Berlin Exoplanet Search Telescope System

Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2004
We describe a small telescope system, the Berlin Exoplanet Search Telescope (BEST), dedicated to the search for planetary transits of Jupiter-sized planets on close-in orbits. This system consists of a commercial 20 cm telescope equipped with a 2048 x2048 pixel CCD.

Polarimetry of the exoplanet system 51 Pegasi

Solar System Research, 2013
Two-year BVRI polarimetric monitoring of the exoplanet system 51 Peg has been carried out, indicating that there is no orbital phase-dependent periodic variability in linear polarization with amplitudes greater than 0.04% in the R and I bands. The mean value of one of the Stokes parameters is statistically significant and nonzero, being equal to 0.017 ±

Planet-Planet Interactions in Exoplanet Systems

2022
The gravitational interactions of planets in multiplanetary systems can have effects ranging from tiny orbital alterations to severe instability and everything in between. In this thesis, I discuss three applications of planet-planet interactions. First, I demonstrate using N-body simulations that a commonly-used analytical approximation can have ...

Photometric analysis of the exoplanet containing system Kepler-491

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2017
In this study, we present solutions of the transit light curves of the recently discovered planet Kepler-491b observed by Kepler space-telescope within a span of four years. In order to obtain stellar, planetary and orbital properties, WINFITTER code was applied to light curve data available at the NASA Exoplanet Archive (NEA).

Solar system, exoplanets, and anthropic principle

Bulletin of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, 2009
It is shown that the planetary distances of the Solar System are distributed according to the L0 resonance, where L0 = cP0 = 19.24 a.u. is the wavelength of the “cosmological oscillation” of the Universe (whose nature is unknown). Here, c is the speed of light and P0 = 160 min is the period of pulsations of the Sun and the Universe, which turned out to

Exoplanets and Exoplanetary Systems: Pasts and Futures

2011
There are still some uncertainties over the details of how planets, brown dwarfs and stars come into being. The basic process however is clear – a diffuse cloud of gas and dust in inter-stellar space whose mass can range from one to ten million solar masses and whose diameter can range from a light year to hundreds of light years collapses under its ...
