Young planets under extreme UV irradiation. I. Upper atmosphere modelling of the young exoplanet K2-33b

open access: yes, 2017
The K2-33 planetary system hosts one transiting ~5 R_E planet orbiting the young M-type host star. The planet's mass is still unknown, with an estimated upper limit of 5.4 M_J. The extreme youth of the system (

Why a World State is Unavoidable in Planetary Defense: On Loopholes in the Vision of a Cosmopolitan Governance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The main claim of this chapter is that planetary defense against asteroids cannot be implemented under a decentralized model of democratic global governance, as espoused elsewhere in this book.

Development of virtual morphometric globes using Blender

open access: yes, 2015
Virtual globes - programs implementing interactive three-dimensional (3D) models of planets - are increasingly used in geosciences. Global morphometric models can be useful for tectonic and planetary studies.

On the Dynamics of Comets in Extrasolar Planetary Systems

open access: yes, 2019
Since very recently, we acquired knowledge on the existence of comets in extrasolar planetary systems. The formation of comets together with planets around host stars now seems evident.

Formation and composition of planets around very low mass stars

open access: yes, 2016
The recent detection of planets around very low mass stars raises the question of the formation, composition and potential habitability of these objects.

Excitation and Propagation of Eccentricity Disturbances in Planetary Systems

open access: yes, 2004
The high eccentricities of the known extrasolar planets remain largely unexplained. We explore the possibility that eccentricities are excited in the outer parts of an extended planetary disk by encounters with stars passing at a few hundreds of AU ...

Formation of terrestrial planets in close binary systems: the case of Alpha Centauri A

open access: yes, 2002
At present the possible existence of planets around the stars of a close binary system is still matter of debate. Can planetary bodies form in spite of the strong gravitational perturbations of the companion star?

The First Direct Distance and Luminosity Determination for a Self-Luminous Giant Exoplanet: The Trigonometric Parallax to 2MASS1207334-393254Ab

open access: yes, 2007
We present the first trigonometric parallax and distance for a young planetary mass object. A likely TW Hya cluster member, 2MASSW J1207334-393254Ab (hereafter 2M1207Ab) is an M8 brown dwarf with a mid to late L type planetary mass companion.

Ancient planetary systems are orbiting a large fraction of white dwarf stars

open access: yes, 2010
Infrared studies have revealed debris likely related to planet formation in orbit around ~30% of youthful, intermediate mass, main sequence stars.
