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

Electrical Conductivity of Dense MgSiO3 Melt Under Static Compression

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 12, 28 June 2024.
Abstract The magnetic fields of terrestrial planets are created by core convection. Molten silicate mantles could also generate magnetic fields through their convective motion, known as a silicate dynamo. Recent computational studies have suggested that silicate melts may exhibit high electrical conductivity (EC) at temperatures above 4000 K due to ...

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 ...

Company for the Ultra-high Density, Ultra-short Period Sub-Earth GJ 367 b: Discovery of Two Additional Low-mass Planets at 11.5 and 34 Days

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
GJ 367 is a bright ( V ≈ 10.2) M1 V star that has been recently found to host a transiting ultra-short period sub-Earth on a 7.7 hr orbit. With the aim of improving the planetary mass and radius and unveiling the inner architecture of the system, we ...

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.

Analyses of Polluted White Dwarf Stars with Applications to the Geochemistry of Rocky Exoplanets [PDF]

, 2021
In this work, exoplanet-research is combined with the study of the solar system in order to assess differences and similarities between rocky bodies in the Milky Way. To evaluate rocky bodies outside of the solar system, I utilize optical spectroscopy to

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 ...

Mitigating Worst-case Exozodiacal Dust Structure in High-contrast Images of Earth-like Exoplanets

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Detecting Earth-like exoplanets in direct images of nearby Sun-like systems brings a unique set of challenges that must be addressed in the early phases of designing a space-based direct imaging mission.

Masses and Properties of Extrasolar Planets [PDF]

, 2018
NASA's Kepler Mission revealed that the majority of planets orbiting close to Sun-like stars are between the size of Earth and Neptune. Yet these \super-Earths" and \sub-Neptunes" are absent from our Solar System.
