A Revised Exoplanet Yield from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) [PDF]
, 2018 The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has a goal of detecting small planets orbiting stars bright enough for mass determination via ground-based radial velocity observations.

PLANET-PLANET SCATTERING IN PLANETESIMAL DISKS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 We study the final architecture of planetary systems that evolve under the combined effects of planet-planet and planetesimal scattering. Using N-body simulations we investigate the dynamics of marginally unstable systems of gas and ice giants both in isolation and when the planets form interior to a planetesimal belt.

Ready functions for calculating the Martian radiation environment
Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2019 It is extremely important to understand and model the Martian radiation environment in preparation for future human missions to Mars, especially during extreme and elevated conditions such as an intense solar energetic particle (SEP) event.

Possible Transfer of Life by Earth-Grazing Objects to Exoplanetary Systems
Life, 2020 Recently, a 30-cm object was discovered to graze the Earth’s atmosphere and shift into a Jupiter-crossing orbit. We use the related survey parameters to calibrate the total number of such objects.

Dynamical Outcomes of Planet‐Planet Scattering [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2008 Observations in the past decade have revealed extrasolar planets with a wide range of orbital semimajor axes and eccentricities. Based on the present understanding of planet formation via core accretion and oligarchic growth, we expect that giant planets often form in closely packed configurations.

Could we identify hot Ocean-Planets with CoRoT, Kepler and Doppler velocimetry? [PDF]
, 2007 Planets less massive than about 10 MEarth are expected to have no massive H-He atmosphere and a cometary composition (50% rocks, 50% water, by mass) provided they formed beyond the snowline of protoplanetary disks.

Stephen Hawking’s Warning on Contacting Aliens: A Physics Perspective on the Intelligence Trap [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Physics and EngineeringThe search for extraterrestrial intelligence is a fascinating and important endeavor, but it raises significant ethical and safety concerns. In the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, scientists use knowledge of physics to identify potential ...

Disc-planet, planet-planet, and star-planet interactions during planet formation
, 2003 In this article we present results from three on-going projects related to the formation of protoplanets in protostellar discs. We present the results of simulations that model the interaction between embedded protoplanets and disc models undergoing MHD turbulence.

Prospects for the characterization of habitable planets
Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2023 With thousands of exoplanets now identified, the characterization of habitable planets and the potential identification of inhabited ones is a major challenge for the coming decades.
