Chemical and Dynamical Processes in the Atmospheres of I. Ancient and Present-Day Earth, II. Jupiter and Galileo Satellite, III. Extrasolar “Hot Jupiters” [PDF]

, 2006
When exposed to stellar UV radiation, chemical processes will be governed not only by temperature/pressure but also the spectrum of the incoming dissociative photon flux; the system will approach kinetic, or photochemical, equilibrium, instead of ...

A ring system detected around the Centaur (10199) Chariklo [PDF]

, 2014
Hitherto, rings have been found exclusively around the four giant planets in the Solar System1. Rings are natural laboratories in which to study dynamical processes analogous to those that take place during the formation of planetary systems and galaxies.

Abiotic oxygen-dominated atmospheres on terrestrial habitable zone planets [PDF]

, 2016
Detection of life on other planets requires identification of biosignatures, i.e., observable planetary properties that robustly indicate the presence of a biosphere. One of the most widely accepted biosignatures for an Earth-like planet is an atmosphere

Cassini observations reveal a regime of zonostrophic macroturbulence on Jupiter [PDF]

, 2014
In December 2000, the Cassini fly-by near Jupiter delivered high-resolution images of Jupiter’s clouds over the entire planet in a band between 50°N and 50°S. Three daily-averaged two-dimensional velocity snapshots extracted from these images are used to

Presence of liquid water during the evolution of exomoons orbiting ejected free-floating planets [PDF]

, 2023
Free-floating planets (FFPs) can result from dynamical scattering processes happening in the first few million years of a planetary system's life. Several models predict the possibility, for these isolated planetary-mass objects, to retain exomoons after

The transmission spectrum of Earth-size transiting planets [PDF]

, 2005
International audienceA variety of terrestrial planets with different physical parameters and exotic atmospheres might plausibly exist outside our Solar System, waiting to be detected by the next generation of space-exploration missions.

The Interaction of Venus-Like, M-Dwarf Planets With the Stellar Wind Of Their Host Star [PDF]

, 2015
We study the interaction between the atmospheres of Venus-like, non-magnetized exoplanets orbiting an M-dwarf star, and the stellar wind using a multi-species Magnetohydrodynaic (MHD) model.

Magnetically controlled mass loss from extrasolar planets in close orbits [PDF]

, 2014
We consider the role magnetic fields play in guiding and controlling mass-loss via evaporative outflows from exoplanets that experience UV irradiation. First we present analytic results that account for planetary and stellar magnetic fields, along with ...
