The advent of radial velocity (RV) and transit photometry method has resulted in the
detection of more than 5000 exoplanets since 1995. Of these detected planets, a significant …

The search for life on other planets is one of the grand scientific goals of our time. The
Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics 2020 (Astro2020) 1 sets the top priority in …

Modern numerical hydrodynamics tools have recently enabled detailed examinations of
binaries accreting from prograde circumbinary discs. These have reframed the current …

Rocky planet compositions regulate planetary evolution by affecting core sizes, mantle
properties, and melting behaviors. Yet, quantitative treatments of this aspect of exoplanet …

Circumbinary discs (CBDs) arise in many astrophysical settings, including young stellar
binaries and supermassive black hole binaries. Their structure is mediated by gravitational …

Previous work has shown that interactions between a central binary system and a
circumbinary disc (CBD) can lead to the binary orbit either shrinking or expanding …

White dwarfs that have accreted planetary materials provide a powerful tool to probe the
interiors and formation of exoplanets. In particular, the high Fe/Si ratio of some white dwarf …

Theoretical physical-chemical models for the formation of planetary systems depend on data
quality for the Sun's composition, that of stars in the solar neighbourhood, and of the …

In Lammer et al.(2024), we defined Earth-like habitats (EHs) as rocky exoplanets within the
habitable zone of complex life (HZCL) on which Earth-like N2-O2-dominated atmospheres …

Context. The composition of rocky planets is strongly driven by the primordial materials in
the protoplanetary disk, which can be inferred from the abundances of the host star …
