44. Exoplanet meteorology? - Studying wind dynamics of far away worlds

Julia Victoria Seidel (University of Geneva)

07/11/2020, 11:00

Parallel talk

Exoplanet research, despite its young age, has come a long way in recent years, and a plethora of elements have been discovered in their atmospheres to date, such as water, iron, sodium and others.
However, without the possibility of launching a probe to these far-away worlds, an in-depth study of their atmospheric structure remains a challenge. In this talk, I would like to summarise the...

63. Planets and debris discs around low mass stars

Patricia Luppe (Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena)

Parallel talk

In many respects, planetary systems of low mass stars, so called red dwarfs or M-stars, differ from systems around medium or high mass stars. They contain different populations of planets. Many of these low mass stars host Earth to Neptune-mass planets but only a few harbor gas giants, like Jupiter or Saturn. Another peculiarity is related to debris discs around these cool stars. Debris discs...

47. Direct imaging and spectral characterization of long period exoplanets and brown dwarfs

Emily Rickman (ESA/STScI)

07/11/2020, 12:00

Parallel talk

Very little is known about giant planets and brown dwarfs at an orbital separation great than 5 AU. And yet, these are important puzzle pieces needed for constraining the uncertainties that exist in giant planet formation and evolutionary models. Furthermore, evolutionary models of giant planets and brown dwarfs are plagued by a lack of observational constraints. The complex molecular...
