Can we constrain the interior structure of rocky exoplanets from mass and radius measurements? [PDF]

, 2015
Aims. We present an inversion method based on Bayesian analysis to constrain the interior structure of terrestrial exoplanets, in the form of chemical composition of the mantle and core size. Specifically, we identify what parts of the interior structure

Studying transiting exoplanets with NGTS and TESS [PDF]

Studying exoplanets enables us to better understand our place in the Universe. Transiting exoplanets, where the planet passes in front of its host star, provide us with a great wealth of information on the properties of the planet.

The Changing Concept of Habitability on Earth, the Solar System, and Beyond

Geosciences
Our concept of where life can thrive on Earth has advanced over the past 70 years to include extreme ionizing radiation, high temperatures, the deep subsurface, hydrothermal vents on the deep ocean floor, extreme arid deserts, and the ice-covered lakes ...
