Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite

George R. Ricker, +63 more
TL;DR: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) as discussed by the authors will search for planets transiting bright and nearby stars using four wide-field optical charge-coupled device cameras to monitor at least 200,000 main-sequence dwarf stars.

Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)

George R. Ricker, +63 more
- 28 Aug 2014 - 
TL;DR: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) as mentioned in this paper will discover thousands of exoplanets in orbit around the brightest stars in the sky, including Earth-sized to gas giants, around a wide range of stellar types and orbital distances.
Journal ArticleDOI

Remote sensing of planetary properties and biosignatures on extrasolar terrestrial planets.

TL;DR: It is found that both the mid-IR and the visible to near-IR wavelength ranges offer valuable information regarding biosignatures and planetary properties; therefore both merit serious scientific consideration for TPF and Darwin.

Toward a Deterministic Model of Planetary Formation IV: Effects of Type-I Migration

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of type I migration of protoplanetary embryos due to their tidal interaction with their nascent disks is considered, and the authors suggest that the distributions consistent with observations can be reproduced only if the actual type-I migration timescale is at least an order of magnitude longer than that deduced from linear theories.
