Thermal Emission and Confirmation of the Frigid White Dwarf Exoplanet WD 1856+534 b
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe report the detection of thermal emission from and confirm the planetary nature of WD 1856+534 b, the first transiting planet known to orbit a white dwarf (WD) star.

The Astrophysical Journal LettersIsolated planetary-mass objects share their mass range with planets but do not orbit a star. They lack the necessary mass to support fusion in their cores and thermally radiate their heat from formation as they cool, primarily at infrared wavelengths ...

Excitation and Damping of Oscillation Modes in Gaseous Planets
The Planetary Science JournalThe excitation and damping mechanisms for oscillation modes of gas giant planets are undetermined. We show that differential rotation may greatly enhance the convective viscosity in giant planets, resulting in damping times of t _damp ∼ 10 ^5 –10 ^6 yr ...

Microlensing for extrasolar planets : improving the photometry [PDF]
, 2013 Gravitational Microlensing, as a technique for detecting Extrasolar Planets, is recognised for its potential in discovering small-mass planets similar to Earth, at a distance of a few Astronomical Units from their host stars.

Jupiter Evolutionary Models Incorporating Stably Stratified Regions
The Astrophysical JournalWe address the issue of which broad set of initial conditions for the planet Jupiter best matches the current presence of a “fuzzy core” of heavy elements, while at the same time comporting with measured parameters such as its effective temperature ...

The Planetary Science JournalIn this paper, the formation of Saturn is modeled by detailed numerical simulations according to the core-nucleated accretion scenario. Previous models are enhanced to include the dissolution of accreting planetesimals, composed of water ice, rock, and ...

Interactions of migrating giant planets and small solar-system bodies
, 2017 Changes of semimajor axes of giant planets, which took place 4 billion years ago and evolved the Solar System towards its present state, affected various populations of minor Solar-System bodies. One of these populations was a group of dynamically stable
