Are We There Yet? Challenges in Quantifying the Frequency of Earth Analogs in the Habitable Zone
Rachel B. Fernandes, Samson Johnson, Galen J. Bergsten +43
Searching for life elsewhere in the universe is one of the most highly prioritized pursuits in astronomy today. However, the ability to observe evidence of Earth-like life through…
Why Estimating is Difficult: A Kepler-Centric Perspective
Steve Bryson, Michelle Kunimoto, Ruslan Belikov +13
, the occurrence rate of rocky habitable zone exoplanets orbiting Sun-like stars, is of great interest to both the astronomical community and the general public. The Ke…
New migration patterns in high planet-star mass ratio systems in disks with low viscosity
Mariana Sánchez, Sijme-Jan Paardekooper, Nienke van der Marel +2
Migration of giant planets remains a complex topic. While significant progress has been made for high-viscosity disks, the migration of planets with large planet-star mass ratios i…
Diversity in planetary architectures from pebble accretion: Water delivery to the habitable zone with pebble snow
Sean McCloat, Gijs Mulders, Sherry Fieber-Beyer
"Pebble snow" describes a planet formation mechanism where icy pebbles in the outer disk reach inner planet embryos as the water ice line evolves inward. We model the effects pebbl…
ALMA High-resolution Observation for the Transitional Disk around IRAS 04125+2902
Ayumu Shoshi, Takayuki Muto, Quincy Bosschaart +5
Recently, the youngest transiting planet was discovered around the T Tauri star, IRAS 04125+2902, in the Taurus-Auriga star-forming region. This system is crucial for understanding…
Radius valley scaling among low mass stars with TESS
Harshitha M. Parashivamurthy, Gijs D. Mulders
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has been highly successful in detecting planets in close orbits around low-mass stars, particularly M dwarfs. This presents a valua…
A high-resolution survey of protoplanetary disks in Lupus and the nature of compact disks
Osmar M. Guerra-Alvarado, Nienke van der Marel, Jonathan P. Williams +4
Most of the exoplanets discovered in our galaxy to date orbit low-mass stars, which tend to host small disks in their early stages. To better elucidate the link between planet form…
Signatures of Atmospheric Mass Loss and Planet Migration in the Time Evolution of Short-Period Transiting Exoplanets
Rachel B. Fernandes, Galen J. Bergsten, Gijs D. Mulders +19
Comparative studies of young and old exoplanet populations offer a glimpse into how planets may form and evolve with time. We present an occurrence rate study of short-period (1…
