Integral field spectroscopy with the solar gravitational lens

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Alexander Madurowicz, Bruce Macintosh, , , | Summary: The prospect of combining integral field spectroscopy with the solar gravitational lens (SGL) to spectrally and spatially resolve the surfaces and atmospheres of extrasolar planets is investigated. The properties of hyperbolic orbits visiting the focal region of the SGL […]

Extragalactic magnetism with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program) — III: First data release and on-the-fly polarization mapping characterization

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Melanie Clarke, Sachin Shenoy, William Vacca, Simon Coude | Summary: We describe the data processing of the Survey on extragALactic magnetiSm with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program). This first data release presents 33% (51.34h out of 155.7h, including overheads) of the total awarded time taken […]

A low-eccentricity migration pathway for a 13-h-period Earth analogue in a four-planet system

Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Luisa Maria Serrano, Davide Gandolfi, Alexander J. Mustill, Oscar Barragán, Judith Korth | Summary: It is commonly accepted that exoplanets with orbital periods shorter than 1 day, also known as ultra-short period (USP) planets, formed further out within their natal protoplanetary disk, before migrating to their current-day […]
