An Adolescent and Near-Resonant Planetary System Near the End of Photoevaporation

Mu-Tian Wang, Fei Dai, Hui-Gen Liu +28

Young exoplanets provide vital insights into the early dynamical and atmospheric evolution of planetary systems. Many multi-planet systems younger than 100 Myr exhibit mean-motion…

Gas-depleted planet formation occurred in the four-planet system around the red dwarf LHS 1903

Thomas G. Wilson, Anna M. Simpson, Andrew Collier Cameron +173

Small exoplanet radii show two populations, referred to as super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, separated by a gap known as the radius valley. This may be produced by the removal of atmo…

Close-in planet induces flares on its host star

Ekaterina Ilin, Harish K. Vedantham, Katja Poppenhäger +4

In the past decade, hundreds of exoplanets have been discovered in extremely short orbits below 10 days. Unlike in the Solar System, planets in these systems orbit their host stars…

Imaging of exocomets with infrared interferometry

Markus Janson, Jayshil Patel, Simon C. Ringqvist +6

Active comets have been detected in several exoplanetary systems, although so far only indirectly, when the dust or gas in the extended coma has transited in front of the stellar d…

Follow up of GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart by Australian-led observing programs

I. Andreoni, K. Ackley, J. Cooke +122

The discovery of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave signal has generated follow-up observations by over 50 facilities world-wide, ushering in the new era…

iPTF16geu: A multiply imaged, gravitationally lensed type Ia supernova

A. Goobar, R. Amanullah, S. R. Kulkarni +31

We report the discovery of a multiply-imaged gravitationally lensed Type Ia supernova, iPTF16geu (SN 2016geu), at redshift . This phenomenon could be identified because th…

Herschel detects oxygen in the beta Pictoris debris disk

A. Brandeker, G. Cataldi, G. Olofsson +28

The young star beta Pictoris is well known for its dusty debris disk, produced through the grinding down by collisions of planetesimals, kilometre-sized bodies in orbit around the…

The PLATO 2.0 Mission

H. Rauer, C. Catala, C. Aerts +159

PLATO 2.0 has recently been selected for ESA's M3 launch opportunity (2022/24). Providing accurate key planet parameters (radius, mass, density and age) in statistical numbers, it…

Herschel images of Fomalhaut. An extrasolar Kuiper Belt at the height of its dynamical activity

B. Acke, M. Min, C. Dominik +33

Fomalhaut is a young, nearby star that is suspected to harbor an infant planetary system, interspersed with one or more belts of dusty debris. We present far-infrared images obtain…

A Submillimetre Search for Cold Extended Debris Disks in the Beta Pictoris Moving Group

R. Nilsson, R. Liseau, A. Brandeker +4

The Beta Pictoris Moving Group is a nearby stellar association of young (12Myr) co-moving stars including the classical debris disk star beta Pictoris. Due to their proximity and y…
