Life at the end of worlds : modelling the biosignatures of microbial life in diverse environments at the end of the habitable lifetimes of Earth-like planets [PDF]

, 2014
This thesis investigates how increased global mean temperatures on Earth, induced by the increase in the luminosity of the Sun as it ages, change the types of habitable environments on the planet at local scales over the next 3 Gyr.

The Gap–Giant Association: Are Planets Hiding in the Gaps?

The Astrophysical Journal
A handful of stars are known to host both an inner system of multiple transiting planets and an outer giant planet. These systems all feature a prominent gap between the orbits of two of the transiting planets, distinguishing them from typical ...

TESS Giants Transiting Giants. III. An Eccentric Warm Jupiter Supports a Period−Eccentricity Relation for Giant Planets Transiting Evolved Stars

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
The fate of planets around rapidly evolving stars is not well understood. Previous studies have suggested that, relative to the main-sequence population, planets transiting evolved stars ( P < 100 days) tend to have more eccentric orbits. Here we present

Searching for GEMS: The Occurrence of Giant Planets Orbiting M Dwarfs within 100 pc

The Astronomical Journal
We present results from a systematic search for transiting short-period giant exoplanets around M dwarf stars (GEMS; P

Migration and Extrasolar Terrestrial Planets: Watering the Planets

, 2012
International audienceSimulations of the compositions of extrasolar terrestrial planets have shown that migration of giant planets assists in producing "Earth-like" terrestrial planets and delivering water and other volatiles to terrestrial planets ...

Discovery and Dynamics of the Nontransiting Planet Kepler-139f

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Among the ways that an outer giant planet can alter the architecture of an inner planetary system is by tilting the orbits of the inner planets and reducing their mutual transit probabilities.

Next-generation Atmosphere Models for Giant Planets with Application to Coupled Interior Composition and Spectral Evolution. I. Cloudless Models with Equilibrium Chemistry

The Astrophysical Journal
We present updated atmosphere models designed for calculating the postformation evolution and cooling of giant planets with masses between 0.3 and 10 M _J .

Free-floating Planets, Survivor Planets, Captured Planets, and Binary Planets from Stellar Flybys

The Astrophysical Journal
In star clusters, close stellar encounters can strongly impact the architecture of a planetary system or even destroy it. We present a systematic study of the effects of stellar flybys on two-planet systems.

Revising the Giant Planet Mass–Metallicity Relation: Deciphering the Formation Sequence of Giant Planets

The Astrophysical Journal
The rate at which giant planets accumulate solids and gas is a critical component of planet formation models, yet it is extremely challenging to predict from first principles.

Thermal Emission and Confirmation of the Frigid White Dwarf Exoplanet WD 1856+534 b

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report the detection of thermal emission from and confirm the planetary nature of WD 1856+534 b, the first transiting planet known to orbit a white dwarf (WD) star.
