Lactea: Web‐Based Spectrum‐Preserving Multi‐Resolution Visualization of the GAIA Star Catalog

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract The explosion of data in astronomy has resulted in an era of unprecedented opportunities for discovery. The GAIA mission's catalog, containing a large number of light sources (mostly stars) with several parameters such as sky position and proper motion, is playing a significant role in advancing astronomy research and has been crucial in ...

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.

Surrounded by Giants: Habitable Zone Stability Within the HD 141399 System

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
The search for exoplanets has revealed a diversity of planetary system architectures, the vast majority of which diverge significantly from the template of the solar system.

A NEW ANALYSIS OF THE EXOPLANET HOSTING SYSTEM HD 6434 [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 2015
The current goal of exoplanetary science is not only focused on detecting but characterizing planetary systems in hopes of understanding how they formed, evolved, and relate to the Solar System. The Transit Ephemeris Refinement and Monitoring Survey (TERMS) combines both radial velocity (RV) and photometric data in order to achieve unprecedented ground-

Searching for transit timing variations in transiting exoplanet systems [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008
AbstractSearching for transit timing variations in the known transiting exoplanet systems can reveal the presence of other bodies in the system. Here we report such searches for two transiting exoplanet systems, TrES-1 and WASP-2. Their new transits were observed with the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope located on La Palma, Spain.

A Candidate High-velocity Exoplanet System in the Galactic Bulge

The Astronomical Journal
Abstract We present an analysis of adaptive optics images from the Keck I telescope of the microlensing event MOA-2011-BLG-262. The original discovery paper by Bennett et al. reports two possibilities for the lens system: a nearby gas giant lens with an exomoon companion or a very low-mass star with a planetary companion in the Galactic ...

Ion Escape From Degenerate Induced Magnetospheres: The Case of Mars

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 12, 28 June 2025.
Abstract When the cone angle of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) becomes small, induced magnetospheres of unmagnetized planets degenerate. Using hybrid simulations, we study ionospheric ion escape in a 4° cone angle case and compare it with the nominal 55° cone angle (Parker spiral) case. The total escape rate is 1.7×1025 $1.7\times 1{0}^{25}$ s−

Clouds in Exoplanetary Atmospheres [PDF]

, 2020
Today, we know ~4330 exoplanets orbiting their host stars in ~3200 planetary systems. The diversity of these exoplanets is large, and none of the known exoplanets is a twin to any of the solar system planets, nor is any of the known extrasolar planetary systems a twin of the solar system.

Long‐Lasting Volcanism of the Moon Aided by the Switch in Dominant Mechanisms of Magma Ascent: Role of Localized Radioactive Enrichment in a Numerical Model of Magmatism and Mantle Convection

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 8, 28 April 2025.
Abstract Significant volcanic activity continued for billions of years since 3.5–4 Gyr ago in the Procellarum KREEP Terrane (PKT) of the Moon, but not so significant outside the PKT. To understand this volcanic history, we developed a 2‐D numerical model of magmatism and mantle convection; the effects of the PKT on lunar evolution are considered by ...
