Mapping Exoplanets

open access: yes, 2020
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

Relationship between Luminosity, Irradiance and Temperature of star on the orbital parameters of exoplanets

open access: yesEPJ 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.

The way forward [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Follow-Up and Validation of K2 and TESS Planetary Systems With Keck NIRC2 Adaptive Optics Imaging

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2018
We announce the discovery of two planetary companions orbiting around the low-mass stars Ross 1020 (GJ 3779, M4.0V) and LP 819-052 (GJ 1265, M4.5V).

Structure of exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 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. The diversity of exoplanets allows us

Heavy Metal Rules. I. Exoplanet Incidence and Metallicity

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
The discovery of only a handful of exoplanets required establishing a correlation between giant planet occurrence and metallicity of their host stars.

A chemical survey of exoplanets with ARIEL

open access: yesExperimental astronomy (Print), 2018
Thousands of exoplanets have now been discovered with a huge range of masses, sizes and orbits: from rocky Earth-like planets to large gas giants grazing the surface of their host star.

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

open access: yes, 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

Muons, mutations, and planetary shielding

open access: yesFrontiers 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.
