Metrics for Optimizing Searches for Tidally Decaying Exoplanets

Brian Jackson, Elisabeth R. Adams, Jeffrey P. Morgenthaler

Tidal interactions between short-period exoplanets and their host stars drive orbital decay and have likely led to engulfment of planets by their stars. Precise transit timing surv…

Estimating the Heights of Martian Vortices from Mars 2020 MEDA Data

Brian Jackson

Small convective vortices occur ubiquitously on Mars, frequently as dust devils, and they produce detectable signals in meteorological data -- in pressure, temperature, and wind sp…

Vortices and Dust Devils As Observed by the MEDA Instruments onboard Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover

Brian Jackson

An important and perhaps dominant source of dust in the martian atmosphere, dust devils play a key role in Mars' climate. Datasets from previous landed missions have revealed dust…

Ultra Short Period Planets in K2 III: Neighbors are Common with 13 New Multi-Planet Systems and 10 Newly Validated Planets in Campaigns 0-8, 10

Elisabeth R. Adams, Brian Jackson, Samantha Johnson +14

Using the EVEREST photometry pipeline, we have identified 74 candidate ultra-short-period planets (orbital period P<1 d) in the first half of the K2 data (Campaigns 0-8 and 10). Of…

Dust Devils on Titan

Brian Jackson, Ralph D. Lorenz, Jason W. Barnes +1

Conditions on Saturn's moon Titan suggest dust devils, which are convective, dust-laden plumes, may be active. Although the exact nature of dust on Titan is unclear, previous obser…
