Statistical Distribution Function of Orbital Spacings in Planetary Systems

The Astronomical Journal
The 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).

Inferring Io's Internal Properties by Combining Gravity Measurements and Volcanic Activity

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract With its extreme geological activity, Io represents an archetype for tidally heated exoplanets/moons and provides insight into early stages of terrestrial planet evolution. Decades of ground‐based observations and multiple space missions have refined our understanding of Io, yet it remains debated where inside Io the tidal heating takes place.

Exoplanet Catalogue

An exoplanet is a planet that orbits another star other than the Sun; since 1988, more than 4,300 of them have been confirmed. This catalogue provides a visual way to visualise exoplanets in their solar systems, together with their habitable zones.

The Great Cosmic Silence: What Does the Fermi Paradox Tell About the Future of Humanity?

Global Policy, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 553-565, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines how institutional time horizons shape the long‐term survival prospects of human technological civilisation. While research on global catastrophic and existential risks has expanded, the temporal structures of political‐economic institutions remain underexamined.

Disrupted Exoplanet Systems in the SuperWASP Archive [PDF]

, 2020
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 ...

The Orbital Eccentricity–Radius Distribution for Warm, Single Planets in TESS

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We characterize the radius-dependent observed transiting eccentricity distribution of 219 warm ( P = 8–50 days) systems with only one transiting planetary candidate identified during Sectors 1–69 of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS ...

Gaia astrometry and exoplanetary science: DR2, (E)DR3, and beyond

Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2023
I review the recent impact of Gaia astrometry in the exoplanet field, both in terms of characterization of the orbits and masses of planetary systems and the properties of their host stars.

Reanalysis of SKR Source Crossed by Cassini: Loss Cone Electrons as a Secondary Source of Free Energy

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Saturn's Kilometric Radiation (SKR) is a powerful non‐thermal radio auroral emission produced by the Cyclotron Maser Instability (CMI), which generates waves close to the local cyclotron frequency in a highly magnetized plasma from mildly relativistic electrons.

Long-term evolution of exoplanet systems

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2022
AbstractIn this Review, I discuss recent developments on the long-term dynamical evolution of exoplanet systems, focusing on how distinctive dynamical processes may have shaped the orbital architectures of observed populations. I include three applications that highlight part of my own work. First, I examine the high-eccentricity tidal migration of hot

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.
