Description
With an adequate supply of matter, the inward drifting of dust particles induced by the Poynting-Robertson effect can lead to the formation of a shell or disk-like structure around the source of radiation. In a steady state, the Poynting-Robertson effect produces a spatial density of dust in the form of 1/r which in turn gives rise to a mid-infrared spectrum where Fnu varies as 1/nu. It is believed that this report could be of interest for the interpretation of the infrared excess found in many extragalactic sources.

    Measuring the Masses of the TOI-700 Planets with ESPRESSO

    Over the past three decades, astronomers have discovered that small, rocky planets in temperate orbits are common around our neighboring stars. Whether or not these planets can maintain atmospheres is an open question in the field. Recently, considerable attention in this search has been focused on M dwarfs stars, as their small sizes make it

    3.5 years of observing exoplanet day sides with CHEOPS

    Characterising Exoplanets Satellite (CHEOPS) is the first ESA exoplanet space mission. The satellite carries a 30cm telescope, optimised to deliver exquisite (ppm-level) photometry of bright exoplanetary systems at optical wavelengths. CHEOPS has spent approximately 20% of its observing time during its 3.5-year long nominal mission studying

    Finding Water Worlds with Transit Timing Variations

    Models predict that planets with water-rich compositions may be common around low-mass stars, but definitive evidence for the existence of water worlds has remained elusive. Precise mass and radius measurements for small planets allow us to identify candidate water worlds that have bulk densities too low to be consistent with a rocky composition
