Context. The magnetized wind from stars that impact exoplanets should lead to radio emissions. According to the scaling laws derived in the solar system, the radio emission should depend on the stellar wind, interplanetary magnetic field, and topology of the exoplanet magnetosphere. Aims. The aim of this study is to calculate the dissipated power and subsequent radio emission from exoplanet magnetospheres with different topologies perturbed by the interplanetary magnetic field and stellar wind, to refine the predictions from scaling laws, and to prepare the interpretation of future radio detec

Abstract The Statistical-likelihood Exoplanetary Habitability Index (SEPHI) serves as a valuable tool for prioritizing targets for further study and identifying potentially habitable environments. In this paper, we present SEPHI 2.0, which incorporates several key improvements: (1) updated methods for estimating exoplanet internal structures and magnetic fields; (2) the inclusion of orbital eccentricity in assessing the potential for liquid water on an exoplanet’s surface; and (3) a new exoplanet mass–radius relationship.

Abstract:

Abstract A stable-frequency transmitter with relative radial acceleration to a receiver will show a change in received frequency over time, known as a “drift rate.” For a transmission from an exoplanet, we must account for multiple components of drift rate: the exoplanet’s orbit and rotation, the Earth’s orbit and rotation, and other contributions. Understanding the drift rate distribution produced by exoplanets relative to Earth, can (a) help us constrain the range of drift rates to check in a Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence project to detect radio technosignatures, and (b) help us d

Abstract The discovery of planets around stars other than Sun was a grand milestone to understand origin and evolution of life in Universe. 2019 Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to the first discovery of exoplanet around Sun-like stars, Peg 51b, in 1995. With development of 25 years, the current number of confirmed exoplanets have reached 4,000. The population of exoplanets presents great diversity and complexity beyond the planets in Solar system, severely challenging our understanding on the origin and evolution of planets. Moreover, clues of extrasolar life have been partially disclosed

We develop a Bayesian Hierarchical Model to investigate the feasibility of DM discovery with exoplanets and examine future prospects to recover the spatial distribution of DM in the Milky Way.

Abstract:

Context. Mass and radius are two fundamental properties for characterising exoplanets, but only for a relatively small fraction of exoplanets are they both available. Mass is often derived from radial velocity measurements, while the radius is almost always measured using the transit method. For a large number of exoplanets, either the radius or the mass is unknown, while the host star has been characterised. Several mass-radius relations that are dependent on the planet’s type have been published that often allow us to predict the radius. The same is true for a bayesian code, which forecasts

Abstract:

This paper presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of two prominent methods for detecting exoplanets: the Radial Velocity (RV) method and the Transit Photometry method. These methods have significantly contributed to the discovery and characterization of exoplanets, expanding our understanding of planetary systems beyond our own. This study examines the principles, advantages, limitations, and notable discoveries associated with each method. It also discusses the technological advancements and future prospects in exoplanet detection.

ABSTRACT We present radio observations made towards the exoplanets Qatar-1b and WASP-80b near 150 MHz with the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT). These targets are relatively nearby irradiated giant exoplanets, a hot Jupiter and a hot Saturn, with sizes comparable to Jupiter but different masses and lower densities. Both the targets are expected to host extended H/He envelopes like Jupiter, with comparable or larger magnetic moments. No radio emission was detected from these exoplanets, with 3σ limits of 5.9 and 5.2 mJy for Qatar-1b and WASP-80b, respectively, from these targeted observat

Numerical climate models originally developed for Earth have been adapted to study exoplanetary climates. This is allowing us to investigate the range of properties that might affect an exoplanet’s climate. The recent discovery, and upcoming characterization, of cosmically close rocky exoplanets opens the door toward understanding the processes that shape planetary climates, maybe also leading to insight into the persistent habitability of Earth itself. We summarize the recent advances made in understanding the climate of rocky exoplanets, including their atmospheric structure, chemistry, evol

ABSTRACT Emission spectroscopy is a promising technique to observe atmospheres of rocky exoplanets, probing both their chemistry and thermal profiles. We present hydro, an atmospheric retrieval framework for thermal emission spectra of rocky exoplanets. hydro does not make prior assumptions about the background atmospheric composition, and can therefore be used to interpret spectra of secondary atmospheres with unknown compositions. We use hydro to assess the chemical constraints which can be placed on rocky exoplanet atmospheres using JWST. First, we identify the best currently known rocky ex

Abstract One of the most prolific methods of studying exoplanet atmospheres is transmission spectroscopy, which measures the difference between the depth of an exoplanet's transit signal at various wavelengths and attempts to correlate the depth changes to potential features in the exoplanet's atmosphere. Here we present reconnaissance observations of 21 exoplanet atmospheres measured with the Exoplanet Transmission Spectroscopy Imager (ETSI), a recently deployed spectrophotometer on the McDonald Observatory Otto Struve 2.1 m telescope.

For more accurate fitting, the effects of linear limb darkening on exoplanets are also included. The performance testing for the program was done

Abstract We analyze the CORALIE/HARPS sample of exoplanets found by the Doppler radial-velocity method for signs of the predicted gap or “desert” at 10–100 M ⊕ caused by runaway gas accretion at semimajor axes of <3 au. We find that these data are not consistent with this prediction. This result is similar to the finding by the MOA gravitational microlensing survey that found no desert in the exoplanet distribution for exoplanets in slightly longer period orbits and somewhat lower host masses (Suzuki et al. 2018). Together, these results imply that the runaway gas accretion scenario of the

With this radius, we estimate the atmospheric surface that is not protected from stellar winds. We have analyzed this unprotected surface for the most extreme environment for exoplanets: GKM-type and very low-mass stars at the two limits of the habitable zone. The estimated unprotected surface makes it possible to define a likelihood for an exoplanet to retain its atmosphere. This function can be incorporated into the new habitability index SEPHI.

We use a global climate model that includes clouds to simulate reflected starlight from an Earth-like exoplanet and explore how different parameters (e.g., orbital geometry, wavelength, time resolution) influence the

Exoplanets with substantial hydrogen/helium atmospheres have been discovered in abundance, many residing extremely close to their parent stars. The extreme irradiation levels that these atmospheres experience cause them to undergo hydrodynamic atmospheric escape.

Although there exists a large sample of known exoplanets, little data exists that can be used to study their global atmospheric properties.

Planets with characteristics suitable for atmospheric characterization have orbits of several days, thus phase curve observations are highly resource intensive, especially for shared use facilities.

The resulting mass-radius (M-R) diagram shows two distinct populations, corresponding to rocky and volatile-rich exoplanets which overlap in
