Observations of circumstellar disks in scattered light with SPHERE at the VLT

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Physique, 2023
The technological developments initiated in the early 21$^{\rm st}$ century have led to the implementation of “planet finders” instruments on 8-m class telescopes which are in operation since 2014-2015. Such facilities are at the inception of significant

The effects of stellar winds and magnetic fields on exoplanets

open access: yes, 2013
The great majority of exoplanets discovered so far are orbiting cool, low-mass stars whose properties are relatively similar to the Sun. However, the stellar magnetism of these stars can be significantly different from the solar one, both in topology and

The Ability of Significant Tidal Stress to Initiate Plate Tectonics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Plate tectonics is a geophysical process currently unique to Earth, has an important role in regulating the Earth's climate, and may be better understood by identifying rocky planets outside our solar system with tectonic activity.

Exoplanets and the Sun

open access: yes, 2019
We review the recent progress in understanding the jet structures on exoplanets as well as on and inside the Sun. The emphasis is on the more robust aspects of observation and numerical modeling that relate directly to jets. For the exoplanets, the primary focus is on hot-Jupiters since many more observations are available for them presently than other

Prospects for the characterization of habitable planets

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Physique, 2023
With thousands of exoplanets now identified, the characterization of habitable planets and the potential identification of inhabited ones is a major challenge for the coming decades.

Benford's distribution in extrasolar world: Do the exoplanets follow Benford's distribution?

open access: yes, 2016
In many real life situations, it is observed that the first digits (i.e., $1,2,\ldots,9$) of a numerical data-set, which is expressed using decimal system, do not follow a random distribution. Instead, smaller numbers are favoured by nature in accordance

A chemical survey of exoplanets with ARIEL [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Astronomy, 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. However, the essential nature of these exoplanets remains largely mysterious: there is no known, discernible pattern linking the presence, size, or orbital parameters ...

The Power of a Name: Toward a Unified Approach to Naming Space Weather Events

open access: yesPerspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Our increasing reliance on technology vulnerable to space weather effects underscores the urgent need for effective public communication about these phenomena. While scientific research thrives on precise technical language, broader public engagement necessitates a more accessible and memorable approach.

One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks for Detecting Transiting Exoplanets

open access: yesAxioms, 2023
The transit method is one of the most relevant exoplanet detection techniques, which consists of detecting periodic eclipses in the light curves of stars.

The link between disc dispersal by photoevaporation and the semi-major axis distribution of exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We investigate the influence of photoevaporation of protoplanetary discs on the final distribution of exoplanets semi-major axis distances. We model giant planet migration in viscous discs affected by photoevaporation driven by either pure EUV or soft X ...
