The identification of exoplanets within habitable zones remains a central objective in modern astrophysics, particularly with the availability of large-scale photometric datasets from space-based missions such as the Tra...

Chandrasekhar’s H ( μ ) function forms the foundation of radiative transfer theory for semi-infinite, isotropically scattering atmospheres under external illumination. However, the classical formulation does not accou...

Significant optical engineering advances at the University of Arizona are being made for design, fabrication, and construction of next generation astronomical telescopes. This summary review paper focuses on the technolo...

Over the last decade, studies of large samples of binary systems have identified chemical anomalies and shown that they might be attributed to planet formation or planet engulfment. However, both scenarios have primarily...

Abstract Planetary interiors experience high-pressure-high temperature conditions that give rise to unconventional states of matter, reshaping our understanding of planetary dynamics and the generation of magnetic fields...

Stellar ultraviolet (UV) radiation drives photochemistry, and extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) radiation drives mass loss in exoplanet atmospheres. However, the UV flux is partly unobservable due to interstellar absorption, par...

Space-based missions such as TESS are identifying a wealth of short-period transiting planets. Despite the growing number of confirmed and candidate planets, the sample is still incomplete and highly biased, challenging ...

Recent observational and theoretical work suggests that the sub-Jovian desert (periods ≲3 days, masses ∼10–100 M _⊕ ) hosts the remains of destroyed hot Jupiters (“desert dwellers”). In this work, we explore ...
