DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201833354
Abstract: Despite their activity, low-mass stars are of particular importance for the search of exoplanets by the means of Doppler spectroscopy, as planets with lower masses become detectable. We report on the discovery of a planetary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2513927122
Abstract: One of the primary mission goals of the Kepler space telescope is to detect Earth-like terrestrial planets in the habitable zone around Sun-like stars. Unfortunately, such planets are at the detection limit. Estimating their statistical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1538-3873/ac3f7b
Abstract: Exozodiacal dust, warm debris from comets and asteroids in and near the habitable zone of stellar systems, reveals the physical processes that shape planetary systems. Scattered light from this dust is also a source of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/ast.2022.0021
Abstract: Abstract Photochemical hazes are expected to form and significantly contribute to the chemical and radiative balance of exoplanets with relatively moderate temperatures, possibly in the habitable zone of their host star. In the presence of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staf794
Abstract: Most stars end their main-sequence (MS) lives by evolving through the red-giant and asymptotic-giant branches before ending as a quiescent, stable white dwarf. Therefore, it is imperative to model the post-MS as it relates to… read more here.

Triaxial deformation and asynchronous rotation of rocky planets in the habitable zone of low-mass stars
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society"
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stx1076
Abstract: Rocky planets orbiting M-dwarf stars in the habitable zone tend to be driven to synchronous rotation by tidal dissipation, potentially causing difficulties for maintaining a habitable climate on the planet. However, the planet may be… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/life15010079
Abstract: Studying exoplanet atmospheres is essential for assessing their potential to host liquid water and their capacity to support life (their habitability). Each atmosphere uniquely influences the likelihood of surface liquid water, defining the habitable zone… read more here.
