HD 715 b, a Warm Jupiter Orbiting a Massive Subgiant Discovered from a Single TESS Transit
Alexander Venner, Robert A. Wittenmyer, Andrew Vanderburg +23
Transiting Warm Jupiters orbiting bright stars are scarcely known, but a substantial number of these planets have been uncovered by the TESS mission. In this work we report the dis…
Tidal Demise: The Evolution and Fate of a Hypothetical Venus Moon
Stephen R. Kane, Franck Selsis, Jeremy Leconte +1
Venus possesses no natural satellite, raising the question whether a formed moon could have survived. We explore the tidal evolution of a Venus-moon system, coupling Venus's spin t…
The Tidal Venus Phenomenon: Demographics and Case Studies
Stephen R. Kane, Emma L. Miles
The demographics of terrestrial planets and their orbits reveal a vast diversity in overall planetary energy budgets. Terrestrial exoplanets in short-period or eccentric orbits can…
The Expected Yield of Venus Zone Terrestrial Planets from PLATO
Stephen R. Kane, Emma L. Miles, Colby M. Ostberg +2
The characterization of terrestrial exoplanets and the conditions that lead to divergent climate outcomes is a primary goal of exoplanetary science. The Venus Zone (VZ) provides a…
The Dependence of Earth Milankovitch Cycles on Martian Mass
Stephen R. Kane, Pam Vervoort, Jonathan Horner
The Milankovitch cycles of Earth result from gravitational interactions with other bodies in the Solar System. These interactions lead to slow changes in the orbit and angular mome…
Planetary Habitability Under the Light of a Rapidly Changing Star
Tara Fetherolf, Sadie G. Welter, Colby M. Ostberg +3
Planetary atmospheric energy budgets primarily depend on stellar incident flux. However, stellar variability can have major consequences for the evolution of planetary climates. In…
The Dynamical Environment within the Habitable Zone of the Gaia-4 and Gaia-5 Planetary Systems
Stephen R. Kane
Exoplanetary systems exhibit a broad range of architectures which, in turn, enable a variety of dynamical environments. Many of the known planetary systems do not transit the host…
Radial Velocity Strategies for the Orbital Refinement of Exoplanet Direct Imaging Targets
Zhexing Li, Stephen R. Kane, Sarah Blunt +1
Many potential direct imaging candidates suffer from large orbital period uncertainties, leading to challenges in accurate predictions of future orbital positions and imprecise dir…
No Giant Planets in the Eta Cassiopeiae System: Dynamical Implications of a Wide Binary Companion
Stephen R. Kane, Zhexing Li, Michelle L. Hill +3
Given the vast number of stars that exist within binary systems, it remains important to explore the effect of binary star environments on the formation and evolution of exoplaneta…
Planetesimal Scattering Efficiency of Cold Giant Planet Architectures
Stephen R. Kane, Emma L. Miles
The discovery of many exoplanets has revealed an incredible diversity of orbital architectures. These orbital configurations are intrinsically linked to the potential for habitable…
Interior and Climate Modeling of the Venus Zone Planet TOI-2285 b
Emma L. Miles, Colby Ostberg, Stephen R. Kane +5
As the discovery of exoplanets progresses at a rapid pace, the large number of known planets provides a pathway to assess the stellar and planetary properties that govern the clima…
A Second Planet Transiting LTT 1445A and a Determination of the Masses of Both Worlds
J. G. Winters, R. Cloutier, A. A. Medina +79
LTT 1445 is a hierarchical triple M-dwarf star system located at a distance of 6.86 parsecs. The primary star LTT 1445A (0.257 M_Sun) is known to host the transiting planet LTT 144…
Solar System Physics for Exoplanet Research
J. Horner, S. R. Kane, J. P. Marshall +13
Over the past three decades, we have witnessed one of the great revolutions in our understanding of the cosmos - the dawn of the Exoplanet Era. Where once we knew of just one plane…
Detection of Planetary and Stellar Companions to Neighboring Stars via a Combination of Radial Velocity and Direct Imaging Techniques
Stephen R. Kane, Paul A. Dalba, Zhexing Li +13
The sensitivity of radial velocity (RV) surveys for exoplanet detection are extending to increasingly long orbital periods, where companions with periods of several years are now b…
