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 K…
Discovery of Volatile Gas in the Giant Impact Disk around the 150-Myr old HD 23514
Kate Y. L. Su, Attila Moór, Chengyan Xie +8
We report the discovery of CO gas emission around HD 23514, an F5V star in the 150 Myr-old Pleiades cluster, hosting one of the rare giant-impact disks with unique minera…
Hints of planet formation signatures in a large-cavity disk studied in the AGE-PRO ALMA Large Program
Anibal Sierra, Laura M. Pérez, Carolina Agurto-Gangas +19
Detecting planet signatures in protoplanetary disks is fundamental to understanding how and where planets form. In this work, we report dust and gas observational hints of planet f…
A correlation between accretion and outflow rates for Class II Young Stellar Objects with full and transition disks
A. A. Rota, N. van der Marel, A. Garufi +7
Magnetothermal (MHD) winds and jets originate in a wide range of regions of protoplanetary disks (1-30 au) and are thought to be the primary mechanisms driving accretion onto the c…
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…
