The stability of short-period extrasolar giant planets [PDF]

, 2008
A three-dimensional coupled thermosphere-ionosphere model for extrasolar giant planets (EXOTIM) has been developed. This is the first such model reported in the literature.

On the interaction between embedded planets and the corotation region of protoplanetary discs [PDF]

, 2015
PhDDisc material in the corotation region librates with respect to low-mass planets on horseshoe trajectories. The exchange of angular momentum associated with this libration gives rise to the non-linear corotation torque (the horseshoe drag).

From Earths to Super-Earths: Five New Small Planets Transiting M Dwarf Stars

The Astronomical Journal
Earth-sized planets transiting M dwarf stars present one of the best opportunities with current facilities for studying the atmospheric and bulk compositions of terrestrial worlds. Here, we statistically validate five new transiting Earth and super-Earth

Detecting Biosignatures in Nearby Rocky Exoplanets Using High-contrast Imaging and Medium-resolution Spectroscopy with the Extremely Large Telescope

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
In the upcoming decades, one of the primary objectives in exoplanet science is to search for habitable planets and signs of extraterrestrial life in the Universe.

Thermal Equation of State of Cubic Silicon Carbide at High Pressures

ChemPhysChem, Volume 25, Issue 9, May 2, 2024.
The thermoelastic properties of SiC with a zinc‐blende crystal structure are experimentally determined. Previous experimental studies contained errors due to significant uncertainties of measured pressures and temperatures and unreleased residual stresses.

An Analytical Model of Wavelength-dependent Opposition Surge in Emittance and Reflectance Spectroscopy of Airless Rocky Exoplanets

The Planetary Science Journal
Theoretical frameworks for reflection and emission spectroscopy of exoplanet surfaces are becoming increasingly important for the characterization of rocky exoplanets, especially with the rapid growth of the detected exoplanet population and ...

Exomoon Phase Curves: Toroidal Exosphere Simulations of Exo‐Ios Orbiting 8 Exoplanets in Alkali Spectroscopy

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 129, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Toroidal atmospheres and exospheres characterized at exoplanets may be fueled by volcanically active exomoons, often referred to as exo‐Ios. We study the neutral outgassing and volatile evolution of a close‐orbiting, evaporating satellite at eight candidate exoplanet‐exomoon systems WASP‐49,‐96,‐69,‐17 b, XO‐2N b, HAT‐P‐1 b, HD‐189733 b, and ...

Making Extrasolar Planets From Solar Systems Via Dynamical Interactions

, 2010
Most stars form in some sort of stellar cluster or association. In such environments the number density of stars is much higher than in the solar neighbourhood, which means that close encounters between stars may be relatively common.

Small and Close-in Planets are Uncommon Around A-type Stars

The Astronomical Journal
The Kepler and K2 missions enabled robust calculations of planet occurrence rates around FGKM-type stars. However, these missions observed too few stars with earlier spectral types to tightly constrain the occurrence rates of planets orbiting hotter ...

Photosynthesis in Hydrogen-Dominated Atmospheres

Life, 2014
The diversity of extrasolar planets discovered in the last decade shows that we should not be constrained to look for life in environments similar to early or present-day Earth.
