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 ...

Molecular opacities for exoplanets [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2014 Spectroscopic observations of exoplanets are now possible by transit methods and direct emission. Spectroscopic requirements for exoplanets are reviewed based on existing measurements and model predictions for hot Jupiters and super-Earths.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 Significance Planets around other stars, or exoplanets, are now known to be common in our galaxy. Exoplanets span a much wider range of physical conditions than the planets in our solar system, and include extremely puffy gas giants to compact rocky planets that can have densities as high as that of iron.

Developing a Drift Rate Distribution for Technosignature Searches of Exoplanets [PDF]
, 2023 A stable-frequency transmitter with relative radial acceleration to a receiver will show a change in received frequency over time, known as a "drift rate''.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2012 Exoplanets—planets orbiting around stars other than our own Sun—appear to be common. Significant research effort is now focused on the observation and characterization of exoplanet atmospheres. Species such as water vapour, methane, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide have been observed in a handful of hot, giant, gaseous planets, but ...

Co-orbital exoplanets are a by-product of the models of formation of planetary systems. However, none have been detected in nature thus far. Although challenging, the observation of co-orbital exoplanets would provide valuable information on the ...

, 2021 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

New exoplanets from the SuperWASP-North survey [PDF]
, 2011 We present the current status of the WASP search for transiting exoplanets, focusing on recent planet discoveries from SuperWASP-North and the joint equatorial region (-20.Dec.+20) observed by both WASP telescopes.

Performance study of interferometric small-sats to detect exoplanets: Updated exoplanet yield and application to nearby exoplanets [PDF]
, 2020 Nulling interferometry is considered as one of the most promising solutions to spectrally characterize rocky exoplanets in the habitable zone of nearby stars. It provides both high angular resolution and starlight mitigation.
