The way forward [PDF]

, 2016
For the last few decades the study of disks around stars young and old and of different types have progressed significantly. During the same time a completely new discipline, the study of exoplanets, planets orbiting stars other than our Sun, have ...

A Cubesat Payload for Exoplanet Detection

Sensors, 2017
The search for undiscovered planets outside the solar system is a scientific topic that is rapidly spreading into the astrophysical and engineering communities. In this framework, the design of an innovative payload to detect exoplanets from a nano-sized

The Detection and Characterization of Extrasolar Planets

Challenges, 2014
We have now confirmed the existence of > 1800 planets orbiting stars other thanthe Sun; known as extrasolar planets or exoplanets. The different methods for detectingsuch planets are sensitive to different regions of parameter space, and so, we are ...

Indexing Exoplanets with Physical Conditions Potentially Suitable for Rock-Dependent Extremophiles

Life, 2020
The search for different life forms elsewhere in the universe is a fascinating area of research in astrophysics and astrobiology. Currently, according to the NASA Exoplanet Archive database, 3876 exoplanets have been discovered.

Exoplanet albedo spectra and colors as a function of planet phase, separation, and metallicity [PDF]

, 2010
First generation optical coronagraphic telescopes will obtain images of cool gas and ice giant exoplanets around nearby stars. The albedo spectra of exoplanets at planet-star separations larger than about 1 AU are dominated by reflected light to beyond 1

Exoplanets - search methods, discoveries, and prospects for astrobiology [PDF]

, 2008
Whereas the Solar System has Mars and Europa as the best candidates for finding fossil/extant life as we know it - based on complex carbon compounds and liquid water - the 263 (non-pulsar) planetary systems around other stars as known at 15 September ...

Exoplanet Catalogues

, 2018
One of the most exciting developments in the field of exoplanets has been the progression from 'stamp-collecting' to demography, from discovery to characterisation, from exoplanets to comparative exoplanetology. There is an exhilaration when a prediction

Exploring radio emissions from confirmed exoplanets using SKA

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
Our understanding of magnetic fields in exoplanets remains limited compared to those within our solar system. Planets with magnetic fields emit radio signals primarily due to the Electron Cyclotron Maser Instability mechanism.

Magnetic Scaling Laws for the Atmospheres of Hot Giant Exoplanets

, 2011
We present scaling laws for advection, radiation, magnetic drag and ohmic dissipation in the atmospheres of hot giant exoplanets. In the limit of weak thermal ionization, ohmic dissipation increases with the planetary equilibrium temperature (T_eq ...

The Observational Case for Jupiter Being a Typical Massive Planet

, 2002
We identify a subsample of the recently detected extrasolar planets that is minimally affected by the selection effects of the Doppler detection method.
