The EChO science case [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The discovery of almost two thousand exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. We see gas giants in few-day orbits, whole multi-planet systems within the orbit of Mercury, and new populations of planets with masses between that ...

Exoplanet science 2.0 [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2018
The study of life on and off Earth needs unified funding and a coherent plan, say Caleb Scharf, Debra Fischer and Victoria Meadows. The study of life on and off Earth needs unified funding and a coherent plan, say Caleb Scharf, Debra Fischer and Victoria Meadows.

Exoplanets in science fiction [PDF]

open access: yes
Science fiction (SF) is a genre influenced by science which, in turn, influences science. Astronomers discovered the first exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) in the 1990s, but exoplanets featured in SF long before then.

Acceleration in Exoplanet Magnetospheres

open access: yesSymmetry, 2023
We briefly review the various acceleration mechanisms working in exoplanetary magnetospheres. The proposed scenarios are based on the investigation of planetary magnetospheres of the Solar System. Primary attention is paid to Earth and Jupiter, as the most characteristic examples of the various types of magnetospheric features determining different ...

THE FREQUENCY OF LOW-MASS EXOPLANETS. II. THE “PERIOD VALLEY” [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Radial-velocity planet search campaigns are now beginning to detect low-mass 'Super-Earth' planets, with minimum masses M sin ilsim 10 M ⊕. Using two independently developed methods, we have derived detection limits from nearly four years of the highest ...

The Science of Exoplanets and Their Systems [PDF]

open access: yesAstrobiology, 2013
A scientific forum on "The Future Science of Exoplanets and Their Systems," sponsored by Europlanet and the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) and co-organized by the Center for Space and Habitability (CSH) of the University of Bern, was held during December 5 and 6, 2012, in Bern, Switzerland.

Reflected Spectroscopy of Small Exoplanets II: Characterization of Terrestrial Exoplanets

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2022
Abstract A space telescope capable of high-contrast imaging has been recognized as the avenue toward finding terrestrial planets around nearby Sun-like stars and characterizing their potential habitability. It is thus essential to quantify the capability of reflected light spectroscopy obtained through direct imaging for terrestrial ...

Future exoplanet space missions: Spectroscopy and coronographic imaging

open access: yes, 2018
The spectroscopy of exoplanet atmospheres as well as the direct detection of exoplanets using coronographic techniques is best done using space-based facilities.

OGLE 2008–BLG–290 : an accurate measurement of the limb darkening of a galactic bulge K giant spatially resolved by microlensing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Context. Not only is gravitational microlensing a successful tool for discovering distant exoplanets, but it also enables characterization of the lens and source stars involved in the lensing event. Aims.

Abundances in Stars with Exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004
Extensive spectroscopic studies of stars with and without planets have concluded that stars hosting planets are significantly more metal-rich than those without planets. More subtle trends of different chemical elements begin to appear as the number of detected extrasolar planetary systems continues to grow.
