A Unified Treatment of Kepler Occurrence to Trace Planet Evolution. I. Methodology

A Dattilo, NM Batalha, S Bryson - The Astronomical Journal, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We present Kepler exoplanet occurrence rates for planets between 0.5 and 16 R⊕ and
between 1 and 400 days. To measure occurrence, we use a nonparametric method via a …

Precise Masses and Orbits for Nine Radial-velocity Exoplanets

Y Li, TD Brandt, GM Brandt, TJ Dupuy… - The Astronomical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Radial-velocity (RV) surveys have discovered hundreds of exoplanetary systems but suffer
from a fundamental degeneracy between planet mass M p and orbital inclination i. In this …

Automatic Parallel Tempering Markov Chain Monte Carlo with Nii-C

S Jin, W Jiang, DH Wu - The Astrophysical Journal Supplement …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Due to the high dimensionality or multimodality that is common in modern astronomy,
sampling Bayesian posteriors can be challenging. Several publicly available codes based …

Two substellar survivor candidates: one found and one missing

A joint effort to discover and characterize two resonant mini Neptunes around TOI-1803 with TESS, HARPS-N and CHEOPS

T Zingales, L Malavolta, L Borsato, D Turrini… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We present the discovery of two mini Neptunes near a 2: 1 orbital resonance configuration
orbiting the K0 star TOI-1803. We describe their orbital architecture in detail and suggest …

A multi-wavelength observational study of white dwarfs with anomalous atmospheric signatures

N Walters - 2023 - discovery.ucl.ac.uk
This thesis explores extrinsic interaction signatures in cool white dwarfs through
multicomponent optical and infrared spectra coupled with photometry. The first part of the …

Inside-out diversity of rocky planets

C Guimond - 2023 - repository.cam.ac.uk
Exoplanets orbiting distant stars have revealed to us that no one could have predicted Earth.
Many stars host planets which appear to be made of rock and iron like Earth, but sit at …
