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…
