Constraints on Secondary Eclipse Probabilities of Long-Period Exoplanets from Orbital Elements
Kaspar von Braun, Stephen R. Kane
Long-period transiting exoplanets provide an opportunity to study the mass-radius relation and internal structure of extrasolar planets. Their studies grant insights into planetary…
Exoplanet Characterization and the Search for Life
J. Kasting, W. Traub, A. Roberge +119
Over 300 extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have been detected orbiting nearby stars. We now hope to conduct a census of all planets around nearby stars and to characterize their atmo…
Exoplanetary Transit Constraints Based Upon Secondary Eclipse Observations
Stephen R. Kane, Kaspar von Braun
Transiting extrasolar planets provide an opportunity to study the mass-radius relation of planets as well as their internal structure. The existence of a secondary eclipse enables…
The LAEX and NASA portals for CoRoT public data
E. Solano, K. von Braun, A. Velasco +22
* Aims. We describe here the main functionalities of the LAEX (Laboratorio de Astrofisica Estelar y Exoplanetas/Laboratory for Stellar Astrophysics and Exoplanets) and NASA portals…
Observational Window Functions in Planet Transit Surveys
Kaspar von Braun, Stephen R. Kane, David R. Ciardi
The probability that an existing planetary transit is detectable in one's data is sensitively dependent upon the window function of the observations. We quantitatively characterize…
