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 ...

Imaging low-mass planets within the habitable zone of α Centauri

Nature Communications, 2021
Imaging of low-mass exoplanets can be achieved once the thermal background in the mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths can be mitigated. Here, the authors present a ground-based MIR observing approach enabling imaging low-mass temperate exoplanets around ...

Robo-AO and SOAR High-Resolution Surveys of Exoplanet Hosting Stars

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
In the past decade, space-based transit surveys have delivered thousands of potential planet-hosting systems. Each of these needs to be vetted and characterized using follow-up high-resolution imaging.

Mapping Exoplanets

, 2020
The varied surfaces and atmospheres of planets make them interesting places to live, explore, and study from afar. Unfortunately, the great distance to exoplanets makes it impossible to resolve their disk with current or near-term technology. It is still

Relationship between Luminosity, Irradiance and Temperature of star on the orbital parameters of exoplanets

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
For 759 exoplanets detected by radial velocities method we found that distances of exoplanets from central star comply in general Schmidt law and these distances depend on the stellar surface temperature.

Follow-Up and Validation of K2 and TESS Planetary Systems With Keck NIRC2 Adaptive Optics Imaging

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
High resolution imaging (HRI) is a critical part of the transiting exoplanet follow-up and validation process. HRI allows previously unresolved stellar companions and background blends to be resolved, vetting false positive signals and improving the ...

Muons, mutations, and planetary shielding

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Life on earth is protected from astrophysical cosmic rays by the heliospheric magnetic and slowly varying geomagnetic fields, and by collisions with oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere.
