A Pan-STARRS Search for Distant Planets: Part 1

The Planetary Science Journal
We present a search for distant planets in Pan-STARRS1. We calibrated our search by injecting an isotropic control population of synthetic detections into Pan-STARRS1 source catalogs, providing a high-fidelity alternative to injecting synthetic sources ...

The stability of short-period extrasolar giant planets [PDF]

, 2008
A three-dimensional coupled thermosphere-ionosphere model for extrasolar giant planets (EXOTIM) has been developed. This is the first such model reported in the literature.

YOUNG SOLAR SYSTEM's FIFTH GIANT PLANET? [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2011
Recent studies of solar system formation suggest that the solar system's giant planets formed and migrated in the protoplanetary disk to reach resonant orbits with all planets inside 15 AU from the Sun. After the gas disk's dispersal, Uranus and Neptune were likely scattered by gas giants, and approached their current orbits while dispersing the ...

Oxygen Isotope Constraints on the Importance of Photochemical Processing in Protoplanetary Disks

The Astronomical Journal
Observations have revealed evidence of photochemical processing in protoplanetary disks. This processing occurs in the photon-dominated layer, the optically thin regions of the disk high above the disk midplane. It remains unclear, however, how much this

Migration scenarii in extrasolar systems

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011
In this review talk, I present the theory of type I migration of small mass planets, and its latest developments that open the possibility of outward migration in the inner part of a protoplanetary disk.

System Geometries and Transit/Eclipse Probabilities

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011
Transiting exoplanets provide access to data to study the mass-radius relation and internal structure of extrasolar planets. Long-period transiting planets allow insight into planetary environments similar to the Solar System where, in contrast to hot

Unambiguous Black Hole Mass from Polarimetry and Application to Hot Jupiters [PDF]

, 2009
A novel technique for detecting light scattered by extrasolar planets is presented that has the potential to constrain orbital inclination and planet mass.
