Revised Properties and Dynamical History for the HD 17156 System
From the thousands of known exoplanets, those that transit bright host stars provide the greatest accessibility toward detailed system characterization.

Is there any hope for us to draw a plausible picture of the future of exoplanet research? Here we extrapolate from the first 25 years of exoplanet discovery into the year 2050. If the power law for the cumulative exoplanet count continues, then almost 100,000,000 exoplanets would be known by 2050. Although this number sounds ridiculously large, we find

The Planet as Exoplanet Analog Spectrograph (PEAS): Design and First-Light [PDF]
Exoplanets are abundant in our galaxy and yet characterizing them remains a technical challenge. Solar System planets provide an opportunity to test the practical limitations of exoplanet observations with high signal-to-noise data that we cannot access for exoplanets.

The role of boundary‐layer friction in modulating midlatitude heatwaves
Boundary‐layer friction associated with different surface types plays an important role in modulating heatwaves in the midlatitudes. The main changes in heatwave features occur when locally modifying boundary‐layer friction along the jet‐stream axis. Real‐world differences in the occurrence of heatwaves between different locations in the midlatitudes ...

Disrupted Exoplanet Systems in the SuperWASP Archive [PDF]
The aim of this research project has been to search for disrupted or disintegrating exoplanets; this search has been carried out using archival data from the Super-WASP (Wide Angle Search for Planets) transit photometry detection programme. The main aim of the archival search was to look for objects similar to Kepler-1520b (Rappaport et al., 2012) and ...

Abstract The identification and evaluation of abiotic methane remain an active research area due to uncertainties in traditional indicators that may lead to “false‐positive” detections. As an emerging isotopic tool, methane clumped isotope can provide novel information about the generation and post‐generation processes of methane gases.

Sub-Neptunes have been found to be one of the most common types of exoplanets, yet their physical parameters and properties are poorly determined and in need of further investigation.

Abstract Thermophysical properties of silicate liquids under extreme conditions are critical for understanding the accretion and evolution of super‐Earths and sub‐Neptunes. The thermal equation of state and viscosity of silicate liquids determine the adiabatic profiles and dynamics of magma oceans. However, these properties are challenging to constrain

Architecture Classification for Extrasolar Planetary Systems
This paper presents a classification framework for the architectures of planetary systems based on a complete survey of the confirmed exoplanet population. With nearly 6000 confirmed exoplanets discovered, including more than 300 multiplanet systems with

Stability of Proton Superoxide and its Superionic Transition Under High Pressure
The study predicts the stable proton superoxide (HO2) under extreme conditions using Density Functional Theory (DFT)‐based crystal structure prediction. HO2 exhibits metallic behavior at high pressure, transitions to an insulator under reduced pressure, and becomes superionic with high electrical conductivity under elevated temperatures.
