Resilient habitability of nearby exoplanet systems
Giorgi Kokaia, Melvyn B. Davies, Alexander J. Mustill
We investigate the possibility of finding Earth-like planets in the habitable zone of 34 nearby FGK-dwarfs, each known to host one giant planet exterior to their habitable zone det…
The Kepler-11 system: evolution of the stellar high-energy emission and {initial planetary} atmospheric mass fractions
D. Kubyshkina, L. Fossati, A. J. Mustill +8
The atmospheres of close-in planets are strongly influenced by mass loss driven by the high-energy (X-ray and extreme ultraviolet, EUV) irradiation of the host star, particularly d…
A giant exoplanet orbiting a very low-mass star challenges planet formation models
J. C. Morales, A. J. Mustill, I. Ribas +179
Statistical analyses from exoplanet surveys around low-mass stars indicate that super-Earth and Neptune-mass planets are more frequent than gas giants around such stars, in agreeme…
The Ecology of the Galactic Centre: Nuclear Stellar Clusters and Supermassive Black Holes
Melvyn B. Davies, Abbas Askar, Ross P. Church
Supermassive black holes are found in most galactic nuclei. A large fraction of these nuclei also contain a nuclear stellar cluster surrounding the black hole. Here we consider the…
Greening of the Brown Dwarf Desert. EPIC 212036875 b -- a 51 M object in a 5 day orbit around an F7 V star
Carina M. Persson, Szilárd Csizmadia, Alexander J. Mustill +55
Our aim is to investigate the nature and formation of brown dwarfs by adding a new well-characterised object to the small sample of less than 20 transiting brown dwarfs. One brown…
A planetesimal orbiting within the debris disc around a white dwarf star
Christopher J. Manser, Boris T. Gänsicke, Siegfried Eggl +29
Many white dwarf stars show signs of having accreted smaller bodies, implying that they may host planetary systems. A small number of these systems contain gaseous debris discs, vi…
