Scientific Return of Coronagraphic Exoplanet Imaging and Spectroscopy Using WFIRST [PDF]
In this study, we explore and review the scientific potential for exoplanet characterization by a high-contrast optical coronagraph on WFIRST/AFTA. We suggest that the heterogeneity in albedo spectra and planet/star flux ratios as a function of orbital distance, planet mass, and composition expected for the giant exoplanets at separations from their ...

Search for Stellar Companions of Exoplanet Host Stars with AstraLux/CAHA 2.2 m [PDF]
Stellar multiplicity is a key aspect of exoplanet diversity, as the presence of more than one star in a planetary system can have both devastating and positive effects on its formation and evolution. In this paper, we present the results of a Lucky Imaging survey of 212 exoplanet host stars performed with AstraLux at CAHA 2.2 m.

Comprehensive Parameter Determination of Exoplanets through Asteroseismic Host Star Constraints
This study develops a robust framework for exoplanet characterization by leveraging asteroseismic constraints on host stars. Using precise photometric data from missions such as Kepler and TESS, we derive stellar parameters, including mass, radius, and ...

Why exomoons must be rare? [PDF]
The problem of the search for the satellites of the exoplanets (exomoons) is discussed recently. There are very many satellites in our Solar System. But in contrary of our Solar system, exoplanets have significant eccentricity. In process of planetary migration, exoplanets can cross some resonances with following growth of their orbital eccentricity ...
