Using GALEX UV Excess to Search for Metal-poor Halo Stars
Chase L. Smith, Maxwell Moe, Megan Frank +10
Metal-poor solar-type stars display a significant reduction in metal-line blanketing at short wavelengths, leading to an excess of near-ultraviolet (NUV) flux compared to their met…
The NUV transit of XO-3 b
Raven Cilley, Lia Corrales, George W. King +8
Near-UV (NUV) measurements of exoplanet transits offer a means to probe atmospheric escape, cloud formation, and planetary magnetic fields. We examine a 2024 XMM-Newton Optical Mon…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
Generating X-ray transit profiles with batman
George W. King, LÃa R. Corrales, Peter J. Wheatley +2
We present an adaptation of the exoplanet transit model code batman, in order to permit the generation of X-ray transits. Our underlying extended coronal model assumes an isotherma…
Detecting exoplanet transits with the next generation of X-ray telescopes
Raven Cilley, George W. King, Lia Corrales
Detecting exoplanet transits at X-ray wavelengths would provide a window into the effects of high energy irradiation on the upper atmospheres of planets. However, stars are relativ…
