Climates of temperate rocky planets with He-dominated atmospheres
Viviane Kuss, Robin Wordsworth, Collin Cherubim +1
We present radiative-convective modeling of rocky exoplanets with -dominated atmospheres and low envelope mass fractions. Helium has a steeper adiabatic temperature profile tha…
The Physics of Cometary Anti-tails as Observed in 3I/ATLAS
Eric Keto, Abraham Loeb
Observations of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS at 3.8 au show an elongated coma similar to a cometary tail but pointing in the direction of the Sun, possibly the first instance of thi…
The distribution of volatile elements during rocky planet formation
Terry-Ann Suer, Colin Jackson, Damanveer S. Grewal +2
Core segregation and atmosphere formation are two of the major processes that redistribute the volatile elements-hydrogen (H), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and sulfur (S)-in and aroun…
Impact of M-dwarf Stellar Wind and Photoevaporation on the Atmospheric Evolution of Small Planets
Ashini Modi, Raissa Estrela, Adriana Valio
The evolution of a planet's atmosphere depends strongly on its host star's properties. When their host stars are younger, planets can experience stronger winds and EUV emissions. T…
Interstellar Meteors are Outliers in Material Strength
Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb
The first interstellar meteor larger than dust was detected by US government sensors in 2014, identified as an interstellar object candidate in 2019, and confirmed by the Departmen…
Three new brown dwarfs and a massive hot Jupiter revealed by TESS around early-type stars
Psaridi A., Bouchy F., Lendl M. +40
The detection and characterization of exoplanets and brown dwarfs (BDs) around massive AF-type stars is essential to investigate and constrain the impact of stellar mass on planet…
A Mini-Neptune from TESS and CHEOPS Around the 120 Myr Old AB Dor member HIP 94235
George Zhou, Christopher P. Wirth, Chelsea X. Huang +36
The TESS mission has enabled discoveries of the brightest transiting planet systems around young stars. These systems are the benchmarks for testing theories of planetary evolution…
Prospects for water vapor detection in the atmospheres of temperate and arid rocky exoplanets around M-dwarf stars
Feng Ding, Robin D. Wordsworth
Detection of water vapor in the atmosphere of temperate rocky exoplanets would be a major milestone on the path towards characterization of exoplanet habitability. Past modeling wo…
ExoMiner: A Highly Accurate and Explainable Deep Learning Classifier that Validates 301 New Exoplanets
Hamed Valizadegan, Miguel Martinho, Laurent S. Wilkens +10
The kepler and TESS missions have generated over 100,000 potential transit signals that must be processed in order to create a catalog of planet candidates. During the last few yea…
Systematic KMTNet Planetary Anomaly Search, Paper III: One Wide-Orbit Planet And Two Stellar Binaries
Hanyue Wang, Weicheng Zang, Wei Zhu +36
Only a few wide-orbit planets around old stars have been detected, which limits our statistical understanding of this planet population. Following the systematic search for planeta…
TOI-2076 and TOI-1807: Two young, comoving planetary systems within 50 pc identified by TESS that are ideal candidates for further follow-up
Christina Hedges, Alex Hughes, Steven Giacalone +42
We report the discovery of two planetary systems around comoving stars; TOI-2076 (TIC 27491137) and TOI-1807 (TIC 180695581). TOI-2076 is a nearby (41.9 pc) multi-planetary system…
Calibration and Performance of the REgolith X-Ray Imaging Spectrometer (REXIS) Aboard NASA's OSIRIS-REx Mission to Bennu
Jaesub Hong, Richard P. Binzel, Branden Allen +23
The REgolith X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (REXIS) instrument on board NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission to the asteroid Bennu is a Class-D student collaboration experiment designed to detect…
TOI-3362b: A Proto-Hot Jupiter Undergoing High-Eccentricity Tidal Migration
Jiayin Dong, Chelsea X. Huang, George Zhou +39
High-eccentricity tidal migration is a possible way for giant planets to be emplaced in short-period orbits. If it commonly operates, one would expect to catch proto-Hot Jupiters o…
Preliminary Evidence That Protoplanetary Disks Eject More Mass Than They Retain
Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb
If interstellar objects originate in protoplanetary disks, they can be used to calibrate the fraction of mass that such disks eject. The discoveries of interstellar objects 1I/`Oum…
Multiple moist climate equilibrium states on arid rocky M-dwarf planets: A last-saturation tracer analysis
Feng Ding, Robin D. Wordsworth
Terrestrial-type exoplanets orbiting nearby red dwarf stars (M dwarfs) are the first potentially habitable exoplanets suitable for atmospheric characterization in the near future.…
TOI-942b: A Prograde Neptune in a ~60 Myr old Multi-transiting System
Christopher P. Wirth, George Zhou, Samuel N. Quinn +8
Mapping the orbital obliquity distribution of young planets is one avenue towards understanding mechanisms that sculpt the architectures of planetary systems. TOI-942 is a young fi…
Reply to Desch et al. (2021) on "Breakup of a long-period comet as the origin of the dinosaur extinction"
Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb
We reply to criticisms by Desch et al. (2021) regarding our Scientific Reports paper, "Breakup of a long-period comet as the origin of the dinosaur extinction." The background impa…
Detectability of Artificial Lights from Proxima b
Elisa Tabor, Abraham Loeb
We investigate the possibility of detecting artificial lights from Proxima b's dark side by computing light curves from the planet and its host star. The two different scenarios we…
The sub-Neptune desert and its dependence on stellar type: Controlled by lifetime X-ray irradiation
George D. McDonald, Laura Kreidberg, Eric Lopez
Short-period sub-Neptunes with substantial volatile envelopes are among the most common type of known exoplanets. However, recent studies of the Kepler population have suggested a…
Towers on the Peaks of Eternal Light: Quantifying the Available Solar Power
