Thermodynamically consistent equation of state tables for use in giant planet and brown dwarf interior modeling

Emily Sandford, Yamila Miguel

Equation of state (EOS) tables used in giant planet modeling exhibit regions of strong thermodynamic inconsistency, or disobedience to the first law of thermodynamics. These genera…

On planetary systems as ordered sequences

Emily Sandford, David Kipping, Michael Collins

A planetary system consists of a host star and one or more planets, arranged into a particular configuration. Here, we consider what information belongs to the configuration, or or…

The Spaceline: a practical space elevator alternative achievable with current technology

Zephyr Penoyre, Emily Sandford

Perhaps the biggest hurdle to mankind's expansion throughout the Solar System is the prohibitive cost of escaping Earth's gravitational pull. In its many forms, the space-elevator…

Estimation of singly-transiting K2 planet periods with Gaia parallaxes

Emily Sandford, Néstor Espinoza, Rafael Brahm +1

When a planet is only observed to transit once, direct measurement of its period is impossible. It is possible, however, to constrain the periods of single transiters, and this is…

The multiplicity distribution of Kepler's exoplanets

Emily Sandford, David Kipping, Michael Collins

The true multiplicity distribution of transiting planet systems is obscured by strong observational biases, leading low-multiplicity systems to be overrepresented in the observed s…

Shadow Imaging of Transiting Objects

Emily Sandford, David Kipping

We consider the problem of inferring the shape of a transiting object's silhouette from its light curve alone, without assuming a physical model for the object. We model the object…
