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.

The contribution of the major planet search surveys to EChO target selection [PDF]
, 2014 The EChO core science will be based on a three tier survey, each with increasing sensitivity, in order to study the population of exo-planets from super-Earths to Jupiter-like planets, in the very hot to temperate zones (temperatures of 300 K - 3000 K ...

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 ...

Heavy Metal Rules. I. Exoplanet Incidence and Metallicity
Geosciences, 2019 The discovery of only a handful of exoplanets required establishing a correlation between giant planet occurrence and metallicity of their host stars.

Maximum Angular Separation Epochs for Exoplanet Imaging Observations [PDF]
, 2018 Direct imaging of exoplanets presents both significant challenges and significant gains. The advantages primarily lie in receiving emitted and, with future instruments, reflected photons at phase angles not accessible by other techniques, enabling the ...

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 ...

Habitable Zones in Binary Star Systems: A Zoology
Galaxies, 2020 Several concepts have been brought forward to determine where terrestrial planets are likely to remain habitable in multi-stellar environments. Isophote-based habitable zones, for instance, rely on insolation geometry to predict habitability, whereas ...

Can we constrain interior structure of rocky exoplanets from mass and radius measurements? [PDF]
, 2015 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.
