The detection of exoplanets orbiting other stars has revolutionized our view of the cosmos.
First results suggest that it is teeming with a fascinating diversity of rocky planets, including …

We present an improved estimate of the occurrence rate of small planets orbiting small stars
by searching the full four-year Kepler data set for transiting planets using our own planet …

We investigate a new class of habitable planets composed of water-rich interiors with
massive oceans underlying H 2-rich atmospheres, referred to here as Hycean worlds. With …

The ongoing discoveries of extra-solar planets are unveiling a wide range of terrestrial mass
(size) planets around their host stars. In this Letter, we present estimates of habitable zones …

The TRAPPIST-1 system, consisting of an ultracool host star having seven known Earth-
sized planets, will be a prime target for atmospheric characterization with the James Webb …

Terrestrial planets at the inner edge of the habitable zone (HZ) of late-K and M-dwarf stars
are expected to be in synchronous rotation, as a consequence of strong tidal interactions …

The discovery of planets orbiting stars other than the Sun has accelerated over the past
decade, and this trend will continue as new space-and ground-based observatories employ …

The NASA Kepler mission ha s discovered thousands of new planetary candidates, many of
which have been confirmed through follow-up observations. A primary goal of the mission is …

Terrestrial planets in the habitable zones (HZs) of low-mass stars and cool dwarfs have
received significant scrutiny recently. Transit spectroscopy of such planets with the James …

Context. The characterisation of the atmosphere of exoplanets is one of the main goals of
exoplanet science in the coming decades. Aims. We investigate the detectability of …
