Impact of Planetary Mass Uncertainties on Exoplanet Atmospheric Retrievals [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
In current models used to interpret exoplanet atmospheric observations, the planetary mass is treated as a prior and is measured/estimated independently with external methods, such as radial velocity or transit timing variation techniques.

Impact of Changing Stellar and Planetary Magnetic Fields on (Exo)planetary Environments and Atmospheric Mass Loss

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The magnetic activity of a star—which modulates the stellar wind outflow—shapes the immediate environments of orbiting (exo)planets and induces atmospheric loss, thereby impacting their habitability.

Planetary mass limits using Hipparcos astrometry [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004
Using Hipparcos and Tycho-2 data, together with the radial velocity information, a statistical analysis is applied to all the orbital solutions of planetary candidates, in order to avoid a bias towards small inclinations. There are hints of additional, longer period companions.

Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search. VII. Complete Sample of q < 10−4 Planets from the First 4 yr Survey

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present the analysis of seven microlensing planetary events with planet/host mass ratios q < 10 ^−4 : KMT-2017-BLG-1194, KMT-2017-BLG-0428, KMT-2019-BLG-1806, KMT-2017-BLG-1003, KMT-2019-BLG-1367, OGLE-2017-BLG-1806, and KMT-2016-BLG-1105.

System initial mass function of the 25 Ori group from planetary-mass objects to intermediate/high-mass stars [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is an essential input for many astrophysical studies but only in a few cases has it been determined over the whole cluster mass range, limiting the conclusions about its nature.

Binary Central Stars of Planetary Nebulae

open access: yesGalaxies, 2020
It is now clear that a vast majority of intermediate-mass stars have stellar and/or sub-stellar companions, therefore it is no longer appropriate to consider planetary nebulae as a single-star phenomenon, although some single, isolated stars may well ...

Beyond Two-dimensional Mass–Radius Relationships: A Nonparametric and Probabilistic Framework for Characterizing Planetary Samples in Higher Dimensions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Fundamental to our understanding of planetary bulk compositions is the relationship between their masses and radii, two properties that are often not simultaneously known for most exoplanets.

The Cosmic Zoo: The (Near) Inevitability of the Evolution of Complex, Macroscopic Life

open access: yesLife, 2016
Life on Earth provides a unique biological record from single-cell microbes to technologically intelligent life forms. Our evolution is marked by several major steps or innovations along a path of increasing complexity from microbes to space-faring ...

Ohmic Dissipation During the Formation of Super-Earth

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The super-Earth population, as one of the representatives of exoplanets, plays an important role in constraining the planet formation theories. According to the prediction from core-accretion models, super-Earths should be rare because their masses are ...
