Biological, Equilibrium and Photochemical Signatures of C, N and S Isotopes in the Early Earth and Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]
LifeThe unambiguous detection of biosignatures in exoplanet atmospheres is a primary objective for astrobiologists and exoplanet astronomers. The primary methodology is the observation of combinations of gases considered unlikely to coexist in an atmosphere ...

Physical Review D, 2023 The prevailing assumption is that all exoplanets are made of ordinary matter. However, we propose an unconventional possibility that some exoplanets could be made of dark matter, which we name "dark exoplanets." In this paper, we explore methods to search for dark exoplanets, including the mass-radius relation, spectroscopy, missing transit, and ...

The EBLM Project—From False Positives to Benchmark Stars and Circumbinary Exoplanets
Universe, 2023 The EBLM project aims to characterise very-low-mass stars that are companions to solar-type stars in eclipsing binaries. We describe the history and motivation for this project, the methodology we use to obtain the precise mass, radius, and effective ...

Possibilities for an Aerial Biosphere in Temperate Sub Neptune-Sized Exoplanet Atmospheres
Universe, 2021 The search for signs of life through the detection of exoplanet atmosphere biosignature gases is gaining momentum. Yet, only a handful of rocky exoplanet atmospheres are suitable for observation with planned next-generation telescopes.

Universe, 2023 Tidal interaction between a star and a close-in massive exoplanet causes the planetary orbit to shrink and eventually leads to tidal disruption. Understanding orbital decay in exoplanetary systems is crucial for advancing our knowledge of planetary ...

Atmospheric circulation of exoplanets
地球与行星物理论评, 2023 To date, more than 5000 exoplanets and more than 2000 brown dwarfs have been confirmed, which shows rich diversities in many aspects. With the rapid growth of the planet family, both observational and theoretical research on exoplanet atmosphere is ...
