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 role of boundary‐layer friction in modulating midlatitude heatwaves

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 768, April 2025 Part A.
Boundary‐layer friction associated with different surface types plays an important role in modulating heatwaves in the midlatitudes. The main changes in heatwave features occur when locally modifying boundary‐layer friction along the jet‐stream axis. Real‐world differences in the occurrence of heatwaves between different locations in the midlatitudes ...

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 ...

Habitable Zones in Binary Star Systems: A Zoology

open access: yesGalaxies, 2020
Several concepts have been brought forward to determine where terrestrial planets are likely to remain habitable in multi-stellar environments. Isophote-based habitable zones, for instance, rely on insolation geometry to predict habitability, whereas ...

CD-HPF: New Habitability Score Via Data Analytic Modeling

open access: yes, 2016
The search for life on the planets outside the Solar System can be broadly classified into the following: looking for Earth-like conditions or the planets similar to the Earth (Earth similarity), and looking for the possibility of life in a form known or

Evolution of Exoplanets and their Parent Stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Studying exoplanets with their parent stars is crucial to understand their population, formation and history. We review some of the key questions regarding their evolution with particular emphasis on giant gaseous exoplanets orbiting close to solar-type ...

Tracing the Contribution of Abiotic Methane in Deep Natural Gases From the Songliao Basin, China Using Bulk Isotopes and Methane Clumped Isotopologue 12CH2D2

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The identification and evaluation of abiotic methane remain an active research area due to uncertainties in traditional indicators that may lead to “false‐positive” detections. As an emerging isotopic tool, methane clumped isotope can provide novel information about the generation and post‐generation processes of methane gases.

Biosignatures Search in Habitable Planets

open access: yesGalaxies, 2019
The search for life has had a new enthusiastic restart in the last two decades thanks to the large number of new worlds discovered. The about 4100 exoplanets found so far, show a large diversity of planets, from hot giants to rocky planets orbiting small

Shaping of Planetary Nebulae by Exoplanets

open access: yesGalaxies, 2020
(1) Background: We investigate the hypothesis that exoplanet engulfment can help explain the observed non-spherical planetary nebula population, as a complementary shaping mechanism to the binary hypothesis.

The NASA High-Resolution Speckle Interferometric Imaging Program: Validation and Characterization of Exoplanets and Their Stellar Hosts

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
Starting in 2008, NASA has provided the exoplanet community an observational program aimed at obtaining the highest resolution imaging available as part of its mission to validate and characterize exoplanets, as well as their stellar environments, in ...
