Exoplanets: Past, Present, and Future

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
Our understanding of extra-solar planet systems is highly driven by advances in observations in the past decade. Thanks to high precision spectrographs, we are able to reveal unseen companions to stars with the radial velocity method.

Transit Timing Observations from Kepler: III. Confirmation of 4 Multiple Planet Systems by a Fourier-Domain Study of Anti-correlated Transit Timing Variations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We present a method to confirm the planetary nature of objects in systems with multiple transiting exoplanet candidates. This method involves a Fourier-Domain analysis of the deviations in the transit times from a constant period that result from ...

Simulation‐Based Assessment of Second‐Order Residual Stress Fields on the Fatigue Performance of Silicon‐Strengthened Ferritic Ductile Irons

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a simulation‐based framework based on representative volume elements (RVEs) that explicitly incorporates process‐induced second‐order residual stresses into the fatigue strength assessment of ductile cast iron (DCI). For the first time, this approach enables a direct evaluation of the influence of second‐order residual stress fields ...

Heavy Metal Rules. I. Exoplanet Incidence and Metallicity

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
The discovery of only a handful of exoplanets required establishing a correlation between giant planet occurrence and metallicity of their host stars.

On the frequency of planetary systems around G-dwarfs

open access: yes, 2013
We determine the fraction of G-dwarf stars that could host stable planetary systems based on the observed properties of binaries in the Galactic field, and in various postulated primordial binary populations, which assume that the primordial binary ...

Electrical Conductivities of Conductors, Semiconductors, and Their Mixtures at Elevated Temperatures

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents a comprehensive review of temperature‐dependent electrical conductivity data for multiple material classes at elevated temperatures, highlighting a persistent conductivity gap between metals and semiconductors in the range of 102$\left(10\right)^{2}$– 107$\left(10\right)^{7}$ S/m. Metal–ceramic irregular metamaterials are proposed

Provisioning systems for a good life within planetary boundaries

open access: yesGlobal Environmental Change, 2020
The concept of provisioning systems has recently emerged as a promising way to understand the differences between levels of resource use and social outcomes observed across societies.

On‐Demand Activation of Thin Alginate Shell Encapsulated Volatile Liquid for Untethered Pneumatic Soft Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Phase‐changing liquids enable untethered pneumatic actuation in soft robotics but suffer from volatility and storage challenges. This work reports a simple method to encapsulate Novec 7000 within micron‐thin alginate shells via in situ injection and ionic crosslinking.

Planets, Planetary Nebulae, and Intermediate Luminosity Optical Transients (ILOTs)

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
I review some aspects related to the influence of planets on the evolution of stars before and beyond the main sequence. Some processes include the tidal destruction of a planet on to a very young main sequence star, on to a low-mass main sequence star ...

Planetary Systems [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1999
AbstractThe past decade brought direct evidence of the previously surmised exoplanetary systems. A variety of planetary system types exist those around pulsars, around both young and old main-sequence stars (as evidenced by planetesimal disks of the Beta Pictoris-type), and the mature giant exoplanets found in radial velocity surveys.
