Diversity of exoplanets

open access: yes
This review article delves into the study of low-mass exoplanets: super-Earths, mini-Neptunes and the new categories within and between that we are starting to discover. We provide an overview of current exoplanet observational capabilities, their limitations, and what they are allowing us to learn about low-mass planets.

Direct imaging of exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2014
Most of the exoplanets known today have been discovered by indirect techniques, based on the study of the host star radial velocity or photometric temporal variations. These detections allowed the study of the planet populations in the first 5–8 AU from the central stars and have provided precious information on the way planets form and evolve at such ...

Community Voices on the Future of Radiation Belt Research: A Summary of the 2024 GEM Radiation Belt Focus Group Round‐Table Discussion

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Earth's radiation belts are the regions where highly energetic charged particles are trapped by Earth's magnetic field, posing significant risks to the satellites and other space‐based technologies. Understanding the dynamics of the radiation belts is critical not only for advancing fundamental plasma physics but also for predicting and ...

Exploring radio emissions from confirmed exoplanets using SKA

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
Our understanding of magnetic fields in exoplanets remains limited compared to those within our solar system. Planets with magnetic fields emit radio signals primarily due to the Electron Cyclotron Maser Instability mechanism.

Helium Atmospheres on Warm Neptune- and Sub-Neptune-Sized Exoplanets and Applications to GJ 436 b [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Warm Neptune- and sub-Neptune-sized exoplanets in orbits smaller than Mercury's are thought to have experienced extensive atmospheric evolution. Here we propose that a potential outcome of this atmospheric evolution is the formation of helium-dominated ...

Evolution of Terrestrial Planetary Bodies and Implications for Habitability

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The terrestrial planetary bodies of our solar system—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—share a common origin through nebular accretion and early magma ocean differentiation, yet they diverged significantly in geological evolution, tectonic regimes, and habitability.

Molecular opacities for exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2014
Spectroscopic observations of exoplanets are now possible by transit methods and direct emission. Spectroscopic requirements for exoplanets are reviewed based on existing measurements and model predictions for hot Jupiters and super-Earths.

Climate Emergency and Different Ways to Fail? The Fermi Paradox, the Simulation Hypothesis, Agency and Hope

open access: yesJournal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, Volume 55, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Humanity seems stuck on different ways to fail to meet the challenge posed by a declared climate emergency and manifest the problems of ecological breakdown. Rather than reprise these failures, we use the Fermi Paradox and simulation hypothesis to make a simple point about agency. The argument unfolds in two sections.
