Not All Sub-Neptune Exoplanets Have Magma Oceans

The evolution and structure of sub-Neptunes may be strongly influenced by interactions between the outer gaseous envelope of the planet and a surface magma ocean. However, given the wide variety of permissible interior structures of these p...

Asteroseismology of the Nearby K Dwarf σ Draconis Using the Keck Planet Finder and TESS

Asteroseismology of dwarf stars cooler than the Sun is very challenging owing to the low amplitudes and rapid timescales of oscillations. Here we present the asteroseismic detection of solar-like oscillations at 4-minute timescales ( ${\nu ...

A Computational Quantum-Based Perspective on the Molecular Origins of Life’s Building Blocks

The search for the chemical origins of life represents a long-standing and continuously debated enigma. Despite its exceptional complexity, in the last decades the field has experienced a revival, also owing to the exponential growth of the...

Imaging exoplanets below the telescope stability limit.
