MAHLI on Mars: lessons learned operating a geoscience camera on a landed payload robotic arm [PDF]
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2016 The Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) is a 2-megapixel, color camera with resolution as high as 13.9 µm pixel−1. MAHLI has operated successfully on the Martian surface for over 1150 Martian days (sols) aboard the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover ...

AMD-stability and the classification of planetary systems [PDF]
, 2017 We present here in full detail the evolution of the angular momentum deficit (AMD) during collisions as it was described in (Laskar, PRL,2000). Since then, the AMD has been revealed to be a key parameter for the understanding of the outcome of planetary ...

The Detection and Characterization of Extrasolar Planets
Challenges, 2014 We have now confirmed the existence of > 1800 planets orbiting stars other thanthe Sun; known as extrasolar planets or exoplanets. The different methods for detectingsuch planets are sensitive to different regions of parameter space, and so, we are ...

The planetary commons: A new paradigm for safeguarding Earth-regulating systems in the Anthropocene
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of AmericaThe Anthropocene signifies the start of a no-analogue trajectory of the Earth system that is fundamentally different from the Holocene. This new trajectory is characterized by rising risks of triggering irreversible and unmanageable shifts in Earth ...

Unstable low-mass planetary systems as drivers of white dwarf pollution [PDF]
, 2017 At least 25 percent of white dwarfs show atmospheric pollution by metals, sometimes accompanied by detectable circumstellar dust/gas discs or (in the case of WD 1145+017) transiting disintegrating asteroids.

The radial dependence of pebble accretion rates: A source of diversity in planetary systems I. Analytical formulation [PDF]
, 2016 Context. The classical "planetesimal" accretion scenario for the formation of planets has recently evolved with the idea that "pebbles", centimeter- to meter-sized icy grains migrating in protoplanetary disks, can control planetesimal and/or planetary ...

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