Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) in the outer Solar System are predominantly small, icy worlds long presumed to be atmosphereless except for the largest bodies. Until now, Pluto has been unique among TNOs in exhibiting a substantial…
We compute the mean interval between successive returns of the apparent geocentric solar longitude $\lambda$ to a fixed value $L \in \{0^\circ, 45^\circ, 90^\circ, \ldots, 315^\circ\}$, averaged over a multi-millennium window; this gives…
We present the combined JWST/NIRSpec G395H and NIRISS SOSS transmission spectrum of a warm mini-Neptune, TOI-1130b (3.66 R$_{\oplus}$, 19.8 M$_{\oplus}$, $T_{eq}\sim825$ K). It is part of a rare and unique multi-planet system TOI-1130,…
We investigate dust substructure formation induced by two super-Earths migrating in a low-viscosity disk with single-size dust grains selected from the submillimeter to centimeter range of sizes. The orbital evolution of planets takes place…
Ultra-hot Jupiters present extreme atmospheric phenomena not found in the Solar System. These planets' daysides experience strong temperature inversions, molecular species (including H2) dissociate, and magnetism disrupts their atmospheric…
Aims. We aim to identify the presence of atomic and molecular species in the upper atmosphere of the warm Neptune-sized transiting planet GJ 436 b, which has a radiative equilibrium temperature of 690 K and a mass of 25.4 Earth masses.…
Measuring the chemical and isotopic compositions of gas giants and brown dwarfs provides insights into their formation pathways and birth environments. 2MASS J0249-0557 c is an L2-type planetary mass companion ($\sim 12 M_{\mathrm{Jup}}$)…
We implement coordinates suitable for studying wide binary systems in TRACE, a hybrid integrator in the widely used open-source N-body integration package REBOUND. This is a regime in which traditional hybrid integrators perform poorly. The…
We present a user-friendly, open-source Wolfram Language package that automates the construction of an effective homogeneous generalized Voigt rheology for a spherically symmetric, incompressible layered body with Maxwell solid layers. It…
The approximately geometric spacing of orbital distances in planetary and regular satellite systems has long been recognized, yet its dynamical evolution remains poorly constrained. In this paper, we investigate the secular evolution of the…
Noble gases are powerful probes of the Earth's early history, as they are chemically inert. Neon isotopic ratios in deep mantle plumes suggest that nebular gases were incorporated into the Earth's interior. This evidence implies the Earth's…
The surface characterization of rocky exoplanets via emission spectroscopy represents a frontier of current (JWST) and future (HWO) observational efforts. Here, we implement new features in the open-source retrieval code $\texttt{POSEIDON…
High-resolution spectroscopic observations of helium emission lines provide a powerful probe of accretion geometry in classical T Tauri stars, revealing regions not well traced by hydrogen lines. Parallel studies in the planetary-mass…
With recent advances in exoplanet observational techniques enabling the discovery of increasingly smaller planets, a crucial question emerges in the search for habitable planets: how small can a planet be and still maintain an atmosphere?…
MASCARA-5~b/TOI-1431~b is an ultra-hot Jupiter \citep[$P_{\rm orb}=2.650237\pm0.000003\,{\rm d}$, $T_{\rm eq}=2370\pm70\,{\rm K}$, $M_{\rm p}=3.12\pm0.18\,M_{\rm Jup}$, $R_{\rm p}=1.49\pm0.05\,R_{\rm Jup}$;][]{addison2021} orbiting a bright…
JWST has opened a new era in the study of rocky exoplanets, enabling direct characterization of their surfaces with mid-infrared spectroscopy. Different types of rock have distinct spectral features that are diagnostic of the chemical…
Chemical kinetics is becoming an increasingly vital component of hot Jupiter general circulation models (GCMs). Here we simulate the hot Jupiter WASP-96b using two chemical networks, a reduced chemical network frequently used in the GCM…
Context: LHS 3844 b (TOI-136 b) is a ultra short-period, Earth-size exoplanet detected by TESS. It is one of the most favourable object for atmospheric characterisation and the study of its surface with the James Webb Space Telescope.…
Models based on variable miscibility among hydrogen, molten silicate, and molten iron, coupled with atmospheric escape, can reproduce the observed occurrence density structure of sub-Neptunes and super-Earths in mass-radius space. The…
The inner regions of protoplanetary disks are promising formation sites of rocky planetesimals. Theoretical studies have proposed a scenario in which thermal ionization activates the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in the hot inner…
