A Helicity-Based Method to Infer the CME Magnetic Field Magnitude in Sun and Geospace: Generalization and Extension to Sun-Like and M-Dwarf Stars and Implications for Exoplanet Habitability

, 2017
Patsourakos et al. (Astrophys. J. 817, 14, 2016) and Patsourakos and Georgoulis (Astron. Astrophys. 595, A121, 2016) introduced a method to infer the axial magnetic field in flux-rope coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the solar corona and farther away in ...

A Comprehensive Framework for Assessing Terrestrial Analogue Field Sites for Ocean Worlds

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Field studies at terrestrial analogue sites represent an important contribution to the science of ocean worlds. The value of the science and technology investigations conducted at field analogue sites depends on the relevance of the analogue environment to the target ocean world.

Are WASP-107-like Systems Consistent with High-eccentricity Migration?

The Astrophysical Journal
WASP-107 b seems to be a poster child of the long-suspected high-eccentricity migration scenario. It is on a 5.7 day, polar orbit. The planet is Jupiter-like in radius but Neptune-like in mass with exceptionally low density.

Transits of extrasolar moons around luminous giant planets

, 2016
Beyond Earth-like planets, moons can be habitable, too. No exomoons have been securely detected, but they could be extremely abundant. Young Jovian planets can be as hot as late M stars, with effective temperatures of up to 2000 K.

Tidal Inflation is Stronger for Misaligned Neptune-sized Planets Than Aligned Ones

The Astrophysical Journal
Recent observations have revealed an intriguing abundance of polar-orbiting Neptune-sized planets, many of which exhibit unusually inflated radii. While such misaligned orbits point to a complex dynamical history, the connection between their orbital ...

Is tidal heating sufficient to explain bloated exoplanets? Consistent calculations accounting for finite initial eccentricity

, 2010
In this paper, we present the consistent evolution of short-period exoplanets coupling the tidal and gravothermal evolution of the planet. Contrarily to previous similar studies, our calculations are based on the complete tidal evolution equations of the

Superhabitable Planets Around Mid‐Type K Dwarf Stars Enhance Simulated JWST Observability and Surface Habitability

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT In our search for life beyond the Solar System, certain planetary bodies may be more conducive to life than Earth. However, the observability of these “superhabitable” (SH) planets in the habitable zones around K dwarf stars has not been fully modeled. This study addresses this gap by modeling the atmospheres of SH exoplanets.

Different Planetary Eccentricity-period (PEP) Distributions of Small and Giant Planets

The Astronomical Journal
We used the database of 1040 short-period (1 ≤ P < 200 days) exoplanets radial-velocity orbits to study the planetary eccentricity-period (PEP) distribution.

Initial Thermal States of Super‐Earth Exoplanets and Implications for Early Dynamos

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract The accretion of Earth and the formation of a metallic core released a large amount of primordial heat and may have enabled its evolution into a habitable world. Metal‐silicate segregation likely occurs in super‐Earth exoplanets as well, but its influence on their initial thermal states has not been fully examined.

Kepler-discovered Multiple-planet Systems near Period Ratios Suggestive of Mean-motion Resonances Are Young

The Astronomical Journal
Before the launch of the Kepler Space Telescope, models of low-mass planet formation predicted that convergent type I migration would often produce systems of low-mass planets in low-order mean-motion resonances.
