DETECTING THE WIND-DRIVEN SHAPES OF EXTRASOLAR GIANT PLANETS FROM TRANSIT PHOTOMETRY [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Several processes can cause the shape of an extrasolar giant planet's shadow, as viewed in transit, to depart from circular. In addition to rotational effects, cloud formation, non-homogenous haze production and movement, and dynamical effects (winds ...

Spinning up a Daze: TESS Uncovers a Hot Jupiter Orbiting the Rapid Rotator TOI-778

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission has been uncovering a growing number of exoplanets orbiting nearby, bright stars. Most exoplanets that have been discovered by TESS orbit narrow-line, slow-rotating stars, facilitating the ...

Activation of Glutamatergic Neurons in the Supramammillary Nucleus Promotes the Recovery of Consciousness under Sevoflurane Anesthesia

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Selective lesioning of SuM glutamatergic neurons promoted the induction of and delayed emergence from sevoflurane anesthesia and increased sevoflurane sensitivity. Optogenetic stimulation of SuM glutamatergic neurons or the SuM‐MS projection promoted behavioral arousal and cortical activation under steady‐state sevoflurane anesthesia and reduced the ...

Optimized transit detection algorithm to search for periodic transits of small planets [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2019
We present a new method to detect planetary transits from time-series photometry, the transit least squares (TLS) algorithm. TLS searches for transit-like features while taking the stellar limb darkening and planetary ingress and egress into account.

TESS Discovery of Twin Planets near 2:1 Resonance around Early M Dwarf TOI 4342

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
With data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), we showcase improvements to the MIT Quick Look Pipeline (QLP) through the discovery and validation of a multiplanet system around M dwarf TOI 4342 ( T _mag = 11.032, M _⋆ = 0.63 M _⊙ , R _⋆

A Spitzer Five-Band Analysis of the Jupiter-Sized Planet TrES-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
With an equilibrium temperature of 1200 K, TrES-1 is one of the coolest hot Jupiters observed by {\Spitzer}. It was also the first planet discovered by any transit survey and one of the first exoplanets from which thermal emission was directly observed ...

Altered Neural Activity in the Mesoaccumbens Pathway Underlies Impaired Social Reward Processing in Shank3‐Deficient Rats

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study examines the effects of Shank3 mutation on the mesoaccumbens pathway using a Shank3‐deficient rat model. The findings reveal altered social reward processing in these rats, accompanied by changes in dopaminergic and GABAergic neural activity within the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and dopamine release in the nucleus accumbense (NAc ...

Transit timing of TrES-2: a combined analysis of ground- and space-based photometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Homogeneous observations and careful analysis of transit light curves can lead to the identification of transit timing variations (TTVs). TrES-2 is one of few exoplanets, which offer the matchless possibility to combine long-term ground-based ...

Regulation of PVT‐CeA Circuit in Deoxynivalenol‐Induced Anorexia and Aversive‐Like Emotions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The study investigates Deoxynivalenol (DON) effects on feeding and emotions, focusing on the central amygdala (CeA). Acute DON exposure reduces food intake and alters behavior, linked to CeAGABA neuron activity and PVT‐CeA connectivity. Manipulating CeAGABA neurons and using SCN10A antagonist A‐803467 alleviate DON's effects, offering potential ...

A hot Uranus transiting the nearby M dwarf GJ 3470 - Detected with HARPS velocimetry. Captured in transit with TRAPPIST photometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We report on the discovery of GJ 3470 b, a transiting hot Uranus of mass mp = 14.0 ± 1.8 M⊕, radius Rp = 4.2 ± 0.6 R⊕ and period P = 3.3371 ± 0.0002 day. Its host star is a nearby (d = 25.2 ± 2.9 pc) M1.5 dwarf of mass M⋆ = 0.54 ± 0.07 M⊙ and radius R⋆ =
