Polarimetry of exoplanet-exomoon systems
Astronomy & AstrophysicsAims. We investigated the potential of polarimetric observations in the optical wavelength range for the detection of exomoons and the characterization of exoplanet-exomoon systems. Methods. Using the three-dimensional Monte Carlo radiative transfer code POLARIS, we calculated flux and polarization phase curves of Earth-like exoplanets with a satellite

Detecting Exoplanet Transits with the Next Generation of X-Ray Telescopes
The Astronomical JournalDetecting exoplanet transits at X-ray wavelengths would provide a window into the effects of high-energy irradiation on the upper atmospheres of planets.

Statistical Distribution Function of Orbital Spacings in Planetary Systems
The Astronomical JournalThe minimum orbital separation of planets in long-stable planetary systems is often modeled as a step function, parameterized with a single value ${{\rm{\Delta }}}_{\min }$ (measured in mutual Hill radius of the two neighboring planets).

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 5, 2 February 2026.A simple and efficient method for determining the stability of optical vortices via Fourier transform using a conventional spherical lens is presented. The theoretical and experimental results demonstrate a practical approach to directly and unambiguously measure the magnitude and sign of the topological charge of a beam without altering an ...

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 In this paper, we report on the follow-up of six potential exoplanets detected with Gaia astrometry and provide an overview of what is currently known about the nature of the entire Gaia astrometric exoplanet candidate sample, 72 systems in total.

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Parameterizing radiative transfer in climate models means navigating trade‐offs between physical accuracy and conceptual clarity. However, currently available schemes sit at the extremes of this spectrum: correlated‐k schemes are fast and accurate but rely on lookup tables which obscure the underlying physics and make such schemes difficult to

Using the inclinations of Kepler systems to prioritize new Titius-Bode-based exoplanet predictions [PDF]
, 2014 We analyse a sample of multiple-exoplanet systems which contain at least three transiting planets detected by the Kepler mission (‘Kepler multiples’). We use a generalized Titius– Bode relation to predict the periods of 228 additional planets in 151 of ...

Variability of Known Exoplanet Host Stars Observed by TESS
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Both direct and indirect methods of exoplanet detection rely upon detailed knowledge of the potential host stars. Such stellar characterization allows for accurate extraction of planetary properties, as well as contributing to our overall understanding ...

Exoplanet orbital eccentricity: Multiplicity relation and the Solar System [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance The Solar System planets have near-circular orbits (i.e., unusually low eccentricity) compared with the known population of exoplanets, planets that orbit stars other than the Sun. This fact has been widely interpreted to indicate that the Solar System is an atypical member of the overall population of planetary systems.
