Exoplanet Catalogues

, 2018
One of the most exciting developments in the field of exoplanets has been the progression from 'stamp-collecting' to demography, from discovery to characterisation, from exoplanets to comparative exoplanetology. There is an exhilaration when a prediction

Dynamics of Two Planets near a 2:1 Resonance: Case Studies of Known and Synthetic Exosystems on a Grid of Initial Configurations

Universe
The distribution of period ratios for 580 known two-planet systems is apparently nonuniform, with several sharp peaks and troughs. In particular, the vicinity of the 2:1 commensurability seems to have a deficit of systems.

The Search for Stellar Companions to Exoplanet Host Stars Using the CHARA Array

, 2008
Most exoplanets have been discovered via radial velocity studies, which are inherently insensitive to orbital inclination. Interferometric observations will show evidence of a stellar companion if it sufficiently bright, regardless of the inclination ...

The Orbital Geometries and Stellar Obliquities of Exoplanet-hosting Multistar Systems

The Astronomical Journal
The current orbital geometries of exoplanet systems offer a fossilized record of the systems’ dynamical histories. A particularly rich set of dynamical mechanisms is available to exoplanets residing in multistar systems, which may have their evolution ...

Mapping out the time-evolution of exoplanet processes [PDF]

, 2019
There are many competing theories and models describing the formation, migration and evolution of exoplanet systems. As both the precision with which we can characterize exoplanets and their host stars, and the number of systems for which we can make ...

Kepler Observations of Three Pre-Launch Exoplanet Candidates: Discovery of Two Eclipsing Binaries and a New Exoplanet

, 2010
Three transiting exoplanet candidate stars were discovered in a ground-based photometric survey prior to the launch of NASA's {\it Kepler} mission. {\it Kepler} observations of them were obtained during Quarter 1 of the {\it Kepler} mission.

PERICLES: A Set of Empirical Rotational Isochrones Modeled on Cool Dwarfs in Open Clusters and Wide Binaries

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isochrones, equal‐age curves, are widely used in astrophysics to estimate stellar ages. Classical stellar parameters are, however, very limited in their usability for main sequence stars because of their weak age‐dependence. Here, rotation period measurements provide complementary information.

Detecting Exoplanet Transits with the Next Generation of X-Ray Telescopes

The Astronomical Journal
Detecting exoplanet transits at X-ray wavelengths would provide a window into the effects of high-energy irradiation on the upper atmospheres of planets.

Confirmation of a Non‐Transiting Planet in the Habitable Zone of the Nearby M Dwarf L 98‐59

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Only 40 exoplanetary systems with five or more planets are currently known. These systems are crucial for our understanding of planet formation and planet‐planet interaction. The M dwarf L 98‐59 has previously been found to show evidence of five planets, three of which are transiting.

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 ...
