Tidal evolution of packed moon systems around an Earth-mass planet

Alan Briseño, Billy Quarles, Marialis Rosario-Franco

While missions have long targeted terrestrial exoplanets within the habitable zone of their host stars, the number of exomoon candidates is expected to grow as next generation spac…

The Thermal Emission Spectrum of the Nearby Rocky Exoplanet LTT 1445A b from JWST MIRI/LRS

Patcharapol Wachiraphan, Zachory K. Berta-Thompson, Hannah Diamond-Lowe +7

The nearby transiting rocky exoplanet LTT 1445A b presents an ideal target for studying atmospheric retention in terrestrial planets orbiting M dwarfs. It is cooler than many rocky…

Moon-packing around an Earth-mass Planet

Suman Satyal, Billy Quarles, Marialis Rosario-Franco

All 4 giant planets in the Solar System host systems of multiple moons, whereas the terrestrial planets only host up to 2 moons. The Earth can capture small asteroids as temporary…

Exomoons in Systems with a Strong Perturber: Applications to Cen AB

Billy Quarles, Siegfried Eggl, Marialis Rosario-Franco +1

The presence of a stellar companion can place constraints on occurrence and orbital evolution of satellites orbiting exoplanets, i.e., exomoons. In this work we revise earlier orbi…

Application of Orbital Stability and Tidal Migration Constraints for Exomoon Candidates

Billy Quarles, Gongjie Li, Marialis Rosario-Franco

Satellites of extrasolar planets, or exomoons, are on the frontier of detectability using current technologies and theoretical constraints should be considered in their search. In…

Orbital Stability of Exomoons and Submoons with Applications to Kepler 1625b-I

Marialis Rosario-Franco, Billy Quarles, Zdzislaw Musielak +1

An intriguing question in the context of dynamics arises: Could a moon possess a moon itself? Such a configuration does not exist in the Solar System, although this may be possible…
