Changes in Pluto's Atmosphere Based on Stellar Occultation Data from 2017 to 2023
Amanda A. Sickafoose, Michael J. Person, Carlos A. Zuluaga +14
Pluto's tenuous atmosphere has bar-level pressure and is composed primarily of , with a variable haze. Its eccentric orbit combined with high obliquity leads to s…
Doomed Worlds II: Reassessing Suggestions of Orbital Decay for TrES-5 b
Marvin Rothmeier, Elisabeth R. Adams, Karsten Schindler +9
TrES-5b is one of only three ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) with suggestions of a possibly decreasing orbital period that have persisted through multiple independent analyses (G. Maciej…
Metrics for Optimizing Searches for Orbital Precession and Tidal Decay via Transit- and Occultation-Timing
Brian Jackson, Elisabeth R. Adams, Rachel M. Huchmala +4
Short-period exoplanets may exhibit orbital precession driven by several different processes, including tidal interactions with their host stars and secular interactions with addit…
The Near-Centaur Environment: Satellites, Rings, and Debris
A. A. Sickafoose, S. M. Giuliatti Winter, R. Leiva +3
The unexpected finding of a ring system around the Centaur (10199) Chariklo opened a new window for dynamical studies and posed many questions about the formation and evolutionary…
