Observable Signatures of the Ejection Speed of Interstellar Objects from their Birth Systems
Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb
`Oumuamua and Borisov were the first two interstellar objects confirmed in the Solar system. The upcoming commencement of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space of…
The Phase-curve Signature of Condensible Water-rich Atmospheres on Slowly Rotating Tidally Locked Exoplanets
Feng Ding, Raymond T. Pierrehumbert
We use an idealized three-dimensional general circulation model to study condensible-rich atmospheres with an ineffective cold trap on slowly rotating tidally locked terrestrial pl…
Transfer of Life Between Earth and Venus with Planet-Grazing Asteroids
Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb
Recently, phosphine was discovered in the atmosphere of Venus as a potential biosignature. This raises the question: if Venusian life exists, could it be related to terrestrial lif…
Detection Limits of Low-mass, Long-period Exoplanets Using Gaussian Processes Applied to HARPS-N Solar RVs
N. Langellier, T. W. Milbourne, D. F. Phillips +29
Radial velocity (RV) searches for Earth-mass exoplanets in the habitable zone around Sun-like stars are limited by the effects of stellar variability on the host star. In particula…
Detectability of Thermal Emission from Sub-Relativistic Objects
Thiem Hoang, Abraham Loeb
We calculate the surface temperature and the resulting brightness of sub-relativistic objects moving through the Solar system due to collisional heating by gas and radiative heatin…
Impacts of Dust Grains Accelerated by Supernovae on the Moon
Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb
There is evidence that ejecta from nearby supernovae have rained down on Earth in the past. Supernovae can accelerate pre-existing dust grains in the interstellar medium to speeds…
Can Planet Nine Be Detected Gravitationally by a Sub-Relativistic Spacecraft?
Thiem Hoang, Abraham Loeb
Planet 9 was proposed as an explanation for the clustering of orbits for some trans-Neuptunian objects. Recently, the use of a sub-relativistic spacecraft was proposed to indirectl…
Hemolithin: a Meteoritic Protein containing Iron and Lithium
Malcolm. W. McGeoch, Sergei Dikler, Julie E. M. McGeoch
This paper characterizes the first protein to be discovered in a meteorite. Amino acid polymers previously observed in Acfer 086 and Allende meteorites [1,2] have been further char…
Stabilization of dayside surface liquid water via tropopause cold trapping on arid slowly rotating tidally locked planets
Feng Ding, Robin D. Wordsworth
Terrestrial-type exoplanets orbiting nearby red dwarf stars (M-dwarfs) are among the best targets for atmospheric characterization and biosignature searches in the near future. Rec…
Detecting Interstellar Objects Through Stellar Occultations
Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb
Stellar occultations have been used to search for Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud objects. We propose a search for interstellar objects based on the characteristic durations ($\sim 0.1…
Observational Signatures of Sub-Relativistic Meteors
Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb
It is currently unknown whether solid particles larger than dust from supernova ejecta rain down on Earth at high speeds. We develop a hydrodynamic and radiative model to explore t…
Measured Lightcurves and Rotational Periods of 3122 Florence, 3830 Trelleborg, and (131077) 2000 YH105
Natasha S. Abrams, Allyson Bieryla, Sebastian Gomez +4
We determined the rotational periods of 3122 Florence, 3830 Trelleborg, and (131077) 2000 YH105 with the Harvard Clay Telescope and KeplerCam at the Fred L. Whipple Observatory. We…
Global Chemistry and Thermal Structure Models for the Hot Jupiter WASP-43b and Predictions for JWST
Olivia Venot, Vivien Parmentier, Jasmina Blecic +17
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is expected to revolutionize the field of exoplanets. The broad wavelength coverage and the high sensitivity of its instruments will allow cha…
