DELOS applies contrastive learning to phase-folded light curves to detect shallow intermediate-to-long period transits, reporting 15.5% and 11.25% gains in combined precision-recall over BLS and TLS in low-SNR tests plus 3-80x speedups.

Microlensing-inferred free-floating planets plus bound planets require more mass than protoplanetary disks supply, even at 100% conversion efficiency, potentially creating a crisis if the mass function is bottom-heavy.
TOI-4311 hosts a 0.99-day super-Earth (1.38 R_earth, 4.5 M_earth) and 15-day sub-Neptune (2.47 R_earth), plus a candidate 38-day planet, with the dense inner planet potentially challenging formation theories given the host's galactic population.
Simulations indicate that order-of-magnitude changes in TiO2 and SiO2 abundances in lava melts produce distinguishable TiO, SiO, and SiO2 features in dry lava planet emission spectra, potentially observable with 12 JWST eclipses for the brightest targets.
Simulations using occurrence rates rank HWO ExEP stars by probability of hosting a temperate terrestrial planet or moon, reaching up to 50% for some systems.
Simulations show LIFE could use 25-80 m baselines or discrete values with under 10% loss in planet yield and fringe tracking.
An upgraded planet population synthesis model incorporates post-disc dynamical evolution and atmospheric enrichment to generate synthetic exoplanet populations with improved fidelity to N-body results and observations.
Proposes the Nautilus observatory concept for time-resolved flare spectroscopy on GKM stars to create empirical spectral templates for improved planetary habitability simulations.
Simulations predict very limited transiting exoplanet confirmations from LSST due to observing cadence constraints, with only a few possible in DDF for hot planets on M dwarfs.
Mars provides a real-world case study of processes like volatile loss, climate evolution, and magnetism that determine habitability on small rocky planets at the edge of habitable conditions.
