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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

A short-period censor of sub-Jupiter mass exoplanets with low density [PDF]
, 2010 Despite the existence of many short-period hot Jupiters, there is not one hot Neptune with an orbital period less than 2.5 days. Here we discuss a cluster analysis of the currently known 106 transiting exoplanets to investigate a possible explanation for

The Origin of the Exoplanets [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2010 We explore two ways in which objects of planetary masses can form. One is in disk systems like the solar system. The other is in dense clusters where stars and brown dwarfs form. We do not yet have the instrumental accuracy to detect multiplanet systems with masses like those in solar system; with our present technology from a distant site, only the ...

, 2017 The discovery of exoplanets has both focused and expanded the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The consideration of Earth as an exoplanet, the knowledge of the orbital parameters of individual exoplanets, and our new understanding of the prevalence of exoplanets throughout the galaxy have all altered the search strategies of communication SETI
