Observing auroral radio emission is one of the most promising methods for detecting exoplanetary magnetic fields, which provide valuable insights into planetary interiors, atmospheric properties, and potential habitability. The first hints…
Observations of debris discs have the potential to provide us with valuable information about massive planets perturbing them gravitationally. In this work, we explore the evolution of the azimuthally-averaged (or axisymmetric) surface…
The under-development NASA Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) aims to provide breakthroughs in exoplanet science, yet the most effective approaches to modeling the detection and characterization of potentially Earth-like worlds with HWO…
We present visible-to-infrared (0.5-5.56 microns) observations of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS obtained with the Moons and Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer (MAJIS) aboard the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) spacecraft between 2025…
Context. Resonant chains are systems with three or more planets caught in a succession of two- and three-planet mean-motion resonances (2P-MMRs and 3P-MMRs). Most of the observed chains show significant amounts of separation from the…
We propose to model spin-orbit resonances that appear in ring systems around minor bodies of the Solar System using a circumbinary approximation. In our model, the ellipsoidal/irregular shape of the minor body is replaced by a binary…
Our goal is to investigate the chemistry of the hot Jupiter WASP-43 b in detail using theoretical models, considering the constraints of the James Webb Space Telescope MIRI phase curve. With a suite of pseudo-two-dimensional and…
Gas in debris discs is thought to be either inherited from the protoplanetary stage or released from the solid, rocky content of planetesimal belts. Its presence can impact planetary atmospheres and their potential for habitability, which…
We present the results of our study of Ambiguous Planetary Candidates (APCs) in data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using the open-source LATTE package. LATTE provides an effective framework for distinguishing…
As they form, giant planets are surrounded by disks of gas and dust sourced from the background circumstellar disk. Although there have been few detections to date, upcoming instruments are likely to discover many more of these systems in…
Observations of exoplanetary radio aurora can directly probe planetary magnetic fields and magnetic star-planet interactions. However, the search for exoplanetary radio aurora has been without confirmed detections despite favorable…
The paper establishes extra invariant in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) of rotating and stratified fluid layer. This invariant is conserved adiabatically, i.e. approximately over long time. The existence of the invariant is interesting by…
We present radiative-convective modeling of rocky exoplanets with $He$-dominated atmospheres and low envelope mass fractions. Helium has a steeper adiabatic temperature profile than $N_2$ and $H_2$ as it has fewer degrees of freedom. Line…
Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is a non-periodic dynamically new Oort cloud comet that was discovered independently by Purple Mountain Observatory in China and Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) telescopes in South…
We present the first panchromatic JWST transmission spectrum of an ultra-hot Jupiter, combining NIRISS and NIRSpec observations to constrain KELT-7\,b's atmospheric properties. We show evidence for charge migration in our NIRISS SOSS…
Debris disks are dusty structures around mature stars, primarily identified by infrared excesses in the stellar spectra. A subset, known as extreme debris disks (EDDs), exhibits stochastic infrared variability, believed to result from…
Atmospheric retrievals are a widely used technique for inferring the physical and chemical properties of exoplanetary atmospheres from observed spectra. A common simplifying assumption in such analyses is that the atmosphere is in…
We present results from 28 stellar occultations by the large Trans-Neptunian Object (50000) Quaoar registered between 2018 and 2025. By performing a joint analysis of this occultation data-set, along with other 9 published events, we were…
The majority of potentially habitable planets detected to date are likely quite different to Earth, for example, being larger in radius and mass, differing rotation rates and with host star spectra unlike the Sun. Therefore the first alien…
Jupiter, a rapidly rotating gas giant, features over 20 atmospheric jet streams that penetrate thousands of kilometers into the planet. This work discusses recent progress, identifies key uncertainties regarding the jets' driving and…
