Accelerating Giant-impact Simulations with Machine Learning

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Constraining planet-formation models based on the observed exoplanet population requires generating large samples of synthetic planetary systems, which can be computationally prohibitive.

The Persistent Thermal Anomalies in Rocky Worlds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Observing the dayside thermal emissions of rocky exoplanets provides essential insights into their compositions and the presence of atmospheres. Even though no conclusive evidence has been found for atmospheres on small rocky exoplanets orbiting M dwarfs,

Darwin---an experimental astronomy mission to search for extrasolar planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
peer reviewedAs a response to ESA call for mission concepts for its Cosmic Vision 2015--2025 plan, we propose a mission called Darwin. Its primary goal is the study of terrestrial extrasolar planets and the search for life on them.

JWST TRAPPIST-1 e/b Program: Motivation and First Observations

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
One of the forefront goals in the field of exoplanets is the detection of an atmosphere on a temperate terrestrial exoplanet, and among the best suited systems to do so is TRAPPIST-1.

JWST COMPASS: A NIRSpec G395H Transmission Spectrum of the Super-Earth GJ 357 b

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present JWST NIRSpec/G395H transmission spectroscopy observations of GJ 357 b, a warm ( T _eq  ≈ 525 K) super-Earth (1.2 R _⊕ , 1.84 M _⊕ ) orbiting a nearby M3-type star, with a median precision of 18 ppm and 27 ppm in NRS1 and NRS2, respectively ...

Hot Rocks Survey. V. Secondary Eclipse Photometry of GJ 3473 b with JWST/MIRI

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
JWST is transforming our ability to characterize small exoplanets, from sub-Neptunes to rocky worlds. A key open question is whether highly irradiated rocky planets can retain atmospheres or are stripped bare by stellar irradiation—a boundary that ...

No Thick Atmosphere on the Terrestrial Exoplanet Gl 486b

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
A primary science goal for JWST is to detect and characterize the atmospheres of terrestrial planets orbiting M dwarfs (M-Earths). The existence of atmospheres on M-Earths is highly uncertain because their host stars’ extended history of high X-ray and ...

Naming the extrasolar planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Extrasolar planets are not named and are referred to only by their assigned scientific designation. The reason given by the IAU to not name the planets is that it is considered impractical as planets are expected to be common.
