Strict limits on potential secondary atmospheres on the temperate rocky exo-Earth TRAPPIST-1 d
Caroline Piaulet-Ghorayeb, Björn Benneke, Martin Turbet +23
The nearby TRAPPIST-1 system, with its seven small rocky planets orbiting a late-type M8 star, offers an unprecedented opportunity to search for secondary atmospheres on temperate…
Water Evolution & Inventories of Super-Earths Orbiting Late M Dwarfs
Keavin Moore, Benjamin David, Albert Yian Zhang +1
Super-Earths orbiting M-dwarf stars may be the most common habitable planets in the Universe. However, their habitability is threatened by intense irradiation from their host stars…
The Role of Magma Oceans in Maintaining Surface Water on Rocky Planets Orbiting M-Dwarfs
Keavin Moore, Nicolas B. Cowan, Charles-Édouard Boukaré
Earth-like planets orbiting M-dwarf stars, M-Earths, are currently the best targets to search for signatures of life. Life as we know it requires water. The habitability of M-Earth…
Keeping M-Earths Habitable in the Face of Atmospheric Loss by Sequestering Water in the Mantle
Keavin Moore, Nicolas B. Cowan
Water cycling between Earth's mantle and surface has previously been modelled and extrapolated to rocky exoplanets, but these studies neglected the host star. M-dwarf stars are mor…
The Rotation-Disk Connection in Young Brown Dwarfs: Strong Evidence for Early Rotational Braking
Keavin Moore, Aleks Scholz, Ray Jayawardhana
We use Kepler/K2 lightcurves to measure rotation periods of brown dwarfs and very low mass stars in the Upper Scorpius star-forming region. Our sample comprises a total of 104 peri…
A universal spin-mass relation for brown dwarfs and planets
Aleks Scholz, Keavin Moore, Ray Jayawardhana +3
While brown dwarfs show similarities with stars in their early life, their spin evolution is much more akin to that of planets. We have used lightcurves from the K2 mission to meas…
