Lo stato dell’arte nella ricerca dei pianeti extrasolari di tipo terrestre [PDF]

open access: yesS&F_scienzaefilosofia.it, 2023
State of the art in the search for extrasolar planets In the last three decades, the study of exoplanets has evolved from a marginal field into a vital area of research with significant implications for other sciences and philosophy. In this article, we

Ready functions for calculating the Martian radiation environment

open access: yesJournal 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.

PLANETS ON THE EDGE [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2014
Hot Jupiters formed through circularization of high-eccentricity orbits should be found at orbital separations $a$ exceeding $twice$ that of their Roche limit $a_{\rm R}$. Nevertheless, about a dozen giant planets have now been found well within this limit ($a_{\rm R}

Observations of Extrasolar Planets During the non-Cryogenic Spitzer Space Telescope Mission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Precision infrared photometry from Spitzer has enabled the first direct studies of light from extrasolar planets, via observations at secondary eclipse in transiting systems.

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Number of Potentially Habitable Planets

open access: yesUniverse, 2019
How good is our universe at making habitable planets? The answer to this depends on which factors are important for life: Does a planet need to be Earth mass? Does it need to be inside the temperate zone? are systems with hot Jupiters habitable? Here, we

The Densities of Planets in Multiple Stellar Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We analyze the effect of companion stars on the bulk density of 29 planets orbiting 15 stars in the Kepler field. These stars have at least one stellar companion within 2", and the planets have measured masses and radii, allowing an estimate of their ...

A Revised Exoplanet Yield from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Disc-planet, planet-planet, and star-planet interactions during planet formation

open access: yes, 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.

An introductory review of the thermal structure of subduction zones: II—numerical approach and validation

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2023
The thermal structure of subduction zones is fundamental to our understanding of the physical and chemical processes that occur at active convergent plate margins. These include magma generation and related arc volcanism, shallow and deep seismicity, and

Prospects for the characterization of habitable planets

open access: yesComptes 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.
