Transits of Earth-Like Planets

, 2009
Transmission spectroscopy of Earth-like exoplanets is a potential tool for habitability screening. Transiting planets are present-day "Rosetta Stones" for understanding extrasolar planets because they offer the possibility to characterize giant planet ...

Transits of extrasolar moons around luminous giant planets [PDF]

, 2016
Beyond Earth-like planets, moons can be habitable, too. No exomoons have been securely detected, but they could be extremely abundant. Young Jovian planets can be as hot as late M stars, with effective temperatures of up to 2000 K.

Assuring the Legacy of the CoRoT Planets

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
For the long-lasting impact of CoRoT’s planet findings, precise knowledge of the times of their transits is of vital importance for any future observing campaigns.

Political transformations in the CEE post-communist countries: theoretical and metodological approaches

Історико-політичні проблеми сучасного світу, 2017
Theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of political transformations in the CEE post-communist countries have been analyzed. The author argues that democratic transits do not guarantee transition to democracy and its consolidation.

Observation of Single Transits in Supercooled Monatomic Liquids

, 2004
A transit is the motion of a system from one many-particle potential energy valley to another. We report the observation of transits in molecular dynamics (MD) calculations of supercooled liquid argon and sodium. Each transit is a correlated simultaneous

A Search for Lost Planets in the Kepler Multi-planet Systems and the Discovery of the Long-period, Neptune-sized Exoplanet Kepler-150 f [PDF]

, 2017
The vast majority of the 4700 confirmed planets and planet candidates discovered by the Kepler mission were first found by the Kepler pipeline. In the pipeline, after a transit signal is found, all data points associated with those transits are removed ...

A box-fitting algorithm in the search for periodic transits [PDF]

, 2002
We study the statistical characteristics of a box-fitting algorithm to analyze stellar photometric time series in the search for periodic transits by extrasolar planets.

Twenty-One New Light Curves of OGLE-TR-56b: New System Parameters and Limits on Timing Variations [PDF]

, 2011
Although OGLE-TR-56b was the second transiting exoplanet discovered, only one light curve, observed in 2006, has been published besides the discovery data.

Planetary Radii across Five Orders of Magnitude in Mass and Stellar Insolation: Application to Transits [PDF]

, 2006
To aid in the physical interpretation of planetary radii constrained through observations of transiting planets, or eventually direct detections, we compute model radii of pure hydrogen-helium, water, rock, and iron planets, along with various mixtures ...

Oncogenic NRAS Mutation in Incipient Sarcomatous Transformation of Cystic Nephroma From a Patient With DICER1‐Related Tumor Predisposition Syndrome

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anaplastic sarcoma of the kidney (ASK) is a DICER1‐associated malignant tumor presumed to arise in a benign precursor, pediatric cystic nephroma (PCN). However, the initial oncogenic alteration(s) associated with malignant transformation are unknown.
