Deceleration of high-velocity interstellar photon sails into bound orbits at Centauri
René Heller, Michael Hippke
At a distance of about 4.22 lightyears, it would take about 100,000 years for humans to visit our closest stellar neighbor Proxima Centauri using modern chemical thrusters. New tec…

The CTA Consortium, :, A. Abchiche +1387
List of contributions from the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) Consortium presented at the 6th International Symposium on High-Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy (Gamma 2016), July 11-15,…
How to determine an exomoon's sense of orbital motion
René Heller, Simon Albrecht
We present two methods to determine an exomoon's sense of orbital motion (SOM), one with respect to the planet's circumstellar orbit and one with respect to the planetary rotation.…
Formation, Habitability, and Detection of Extrasolar Moons
René Heller, Darren Williams, David Kipping +9
The diversity and quantity of moons in the Solar System suggest a manifold population of natural satellites exist around extrasolar planets. Of peculiar interest from an astrobiolo…
Detecting extrasolar moons akin to solar system satellites with an orbital sampling effect
René Heller
Despite years of high accuracy observations, none of the available theoretical techniques has yet allowed the confirmation of a moon beyond the solar system. Methods are currently…
Tidal Effects on the Habitability of Exoplanets: The Case of GJ 581 d
Rory Barnes, Brian Jackson, René Heller +2
Tides may be crucial to the habitability of exoplanets. If such planets form around low-mass stars, then those in the circumstellar habitable zone will be close enough to their hos…
