A review of possible planetary atmospheres in the TRAPPIST-1 system

M Turbet, E Bolmont, V Bourrier, BO Demory… - Space science …, 2020 - Springer
TRAPPIST-1 is a fantastic nearby (∼ 39.14 light years) planetary system made of at least
seven transiting terrestrial-size, terrestrial-mass planets all receiving a moderate amount of …

A more comprehensive habitable zone for finding life on other planets

RM Ramirez - Geosciences, 2018 - mdpi.com
The habitable zone (HZ) is the circular region around a star (s) where standing bodies of
water could exist on the surface of a rocky planet. Space missions employ the HZ to select …

[HTML][HTML] The nature of the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets

SL Grimm, BO Demory, M Gillon, C Dorn… - Astronomy & …, 2018 - aanda.org
Context. The TRAPPIST-1 system hosts seven Earth-sized, temperate exoplanets orbiting an
ultra-cool dwarf star. As such, it represents a remarkable setting to study the formation and …

Evolved climates and observational discriminants for the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system

He I λ 10 830 Å in the transmission spectrum of HD209458 b

FJ Alonso-Floriano, IAG Snellen, S Czesla… - Astronomy & …, 2019 - aanda.org
Context. Recently, the He I triplet at 10 830 Å was rediscovered as an excellent probe of the
extended and possibly evaporating atmospheres of close-in transiting planets. This has …

Formation of TRAPPIST-1 and other compact systems

CW Ormel, B Liu, D Schoonenberg - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2017 - aanda.org
TRAPPIST-1 is a nearby 0.08 M⊙ M-star that was recently found to harbor a planetary
system of at least seven Earth-sized planets, all within 0.1 au. The configuration confounds …

Frequent flaring in the TRAPPIST-1 system—unsuited for life?

K Vida, Z Kővári, A Pál, K Oláh… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyze the K2 light curve of the TRAPPIST-1 system. The Fourier analysis of the data
suggests P rot= 3.295±0.003 days. The light curve shows several flares, of which we …

Modeling climate diversity, tidal dynamics and the fate of volatiles on TRAPPIST-1 planets

M Turbet, E Bolmont, J Leconte, F Forget… - Astronomy & …, 2018 - aanda.org
TRAPPIST-1 planets are invaluable for the study of comparative planetary science outside
our solar system and possibly habitability. Both transit timing variations (TTV) of the planets …
