Properties of transiting extrasolar planets [PDF]

, 2011
A growing number of extrasolar planets have been detected using transit photometry, and these systems are presently important, in that these planets have strongly constrained parameters, particularly their radii, and this combined with the masses can ...

Synergistic Effects of Ocean Salinity and Planetary Obliquity Enhance Habitability of Cold Exo-Earths

The Astrophysical Journal
Past work has shown that ocean salinity and planetary obliquity both influence the climates of Earth-like exoplanets throughout the habitable zone of Sun-like stars.

Commission 53: Extrasolar Planets

, 2008
Commission 53 on Extrasolar Planets was created at the 2006 Prague General Assembly of the IAU, in recognition of the outburst of astronomical progress in the field of extrasolar planet discovery, characterization, and theoretical work that has occurred ...

The Atmospheres of Extrasolar Planets [PDF]

, 2007
In this chapter we examine what can be learned about extrasolar planet atmospheres by concentrating on a class of planets that transit their parent stars. As discussed in the previous chapter, one way of detecting an extrasolar planet is by observing the

A New 2D Energy Balance Model for Simulating the Climates of Rapidly and Slowly Rotating Terrestrial Planets

The Planetary Science Journal
Energy balance models (EBMs), alongside radiative–convective climate models and global climate models (GCMs), are useful tools for simulating planetary climates.

Naming the extrasolar planets [PDF]

, 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.

Helium Depletion in Escaping Atmospheres of Sub-Neptunes: A Signature of Primary-to-secondary Transition

The Astrophysical Journal
Short-period sub-Neptunes are common in extrasolar systems. These sub-Neptunes are generally thought to have primary atmospheres of protoplanetary-disk gas origin.
