MHD Study of Extreme Space Weather Conditions for Exoplanets With Earth‐Like Magnetospheres: On Habitability Conditions and Radio‐Emission

open access: yesSpace Weather, 2022
The present study aims at characterizing the habitability conditions of exoplanets with an Earth‐like magnetosphere inside the habitable zone of M and F stars, caused by the direct deposition of the stellar wind on the exoplanet surface.

The WASP-South search for transiting exoplanets

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2011
Since 2006 WASP-South has been scanning the Southern sky for transiting exoplanets. Combined with Geneva Observatory radial velocities we have so far found over 30 transiting exoplanets around relatively bright stars of magnitude 9–13.

Accurate Mass Measurements for Planetary Microlensing Events Using High Angular Resolution Observations

open access: yesUniverse, 2018
The microlensing technique is a unique method to hunt for cold planets over a range of mass and separation, orbiting all varieties of host stars in the disk of our galaxy.

The Habitability of the Galactic Bulge

open access: yesLife, 2020
We present a new investigation of the habitability of the Milky Way bulge, that expands previous studies on the Galactic Habitable Zone. We discuss existing knowledge on the abundance of planets in the bulge, metallicity and the possible frequency of ...

Chemical modeling of exoplanet atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The past twenty years have revealed the diversity of planets that exist in the Universe. It turned out that most of exoplanets are different from the planets of our Solar System and thus, everything about them needs to be explored. Thanks to current observational technologies, we are able to determine some information about the atmospheric composition,

Long‐Lasting Volcanism of the Moon Aided by the Switch in Dominant Mechanisms of Magma Ascent: Role of Localized Radioactive Enrichment in a Numerical Model of Magmatism and Mantle Convection

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 8, 28 April 2025.
Abstract Significant volcanic activity continued for billions of years since 3.5–4 Gyr ago in the Procellarum KREEP Terrane (PKT) of the Moon, but not so significant outside the PKT. To understand this volcanic history, we developed a 2‐D numerical model of magmatism and mantle convection; the effects of the PKT on lunar evolution are considered by ...

The Astrobiology of Alien Worlds: Known and Unknown Forms of Life

open access: yesUniverse, 2020
Most definitions of life assume that, at a minimum, life is a physical form of matter distinct from its environment at a lower state of entropy than its surroundings, using energy from the environment for internal maintenance and activity, and capable of

Radiative transfer and inversion codes for characterizing planetary atmospheres: an overview

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023
The study of planetary atmospheres is crucial for understanding the origin, evolution, and processes that shape celestial bodies like planets, moons and comets.

Detection of Exoplanet as a Binary Source of Microlensing Events in WFIRST Survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We investigate the possibility of exoplanet detection orbiting source stars in microlensing events through WFIRST observations. We perform a Monto Carlo simulation on the detection rate of exoplanets via microlensing, assuming that each source star has at least one exoplanet.
