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 paper estimates that ESA's PLATO mission will detect roughly 170–280 terrestrial planets in the Venus Zone, including 40–80 Earth-size planets, by combining PLATO’s predicted y…
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…
