Interior structure models and fluid Love numbers of exoplanets in the super-Earth regime
, 2018 Space missions such as CoRoT and Kepler have made the transit method the most successful technique in observing extrasolar planets. However, although the mean density of a planet can be derived from its measured mass and radius, no details about its ...

Understanding Kepler's Super-Earths and Sub-Neptunes: Insights from Thermal Evolution and Photo-Evaporation [PDF]
, 2014 Extrasolar planet surveys have identified an abundant new population of highly irradiated planets with sizes that are in between that of the Earth and Neptune.

Absence of a Runaway Greenhouse Limit on Lava Planets
The Astrophysical JournalClimate transitions on exoplanets offer valuable insights into the atmospheric processes governing planetary habitability. Previous pure-steam atmospheric models show a thermal limit in outgoing long-wave radiation, which has been used to define the ...

Six white dwarfs with circumstellar silicates [PDF]
, 2009 Spitzer Space Telescope spectra reveal 10 μm silicate emission from circumstellar dust orbiting six externally polluted white dwarfs. Micron-size glasses with an olivine stoichiometry can account for the distinctively broad wings that extend to 12 μm ...

Anatomy of Empirical Transit Spectra of Mars Based on TGO/NOMAD
The Astronomical JournalTransit spectroscopy is a powerful tool for probing atmospheric structures of exoplanets. Accurately accounting for the effects of aerosols is key to reconstructing atmospheric properties from transit spectra, yet this remains a significant challenge. To
