The Solar System as an Exosystem: Planet Confusion
Future, large-scale, exoplanet direct-imaging missions will be capable of discovering and characterizing Earth-like exoplanets and star systems like our solar system. However, a telescope capable of…
Overview and reassessment of noise budget of starshade exoplanet imaging
High-contrast imaging enabled by a starshade in formation flight with a space telescope can provide a near-term pathway to search for and characterize temperate and small planets of nearby stars.…

Análisis de un perfil aerodinámico para generar sustentación en la atmósfera de Marte
This research project seeks to simulate the conditions of the Mars atmosphere and see how an aerodynamic airfoil behaves under these circumstances, seeking to open the doors for the future design of…

Improving the Visual Magnitudes of the Planets in The Astronomical Almanac. I. Mercury and Venus
Estimates for the apparent V magnitudes of the planets currently published in The Astronomical Almanac are based on phase coefficients, Δm(i), presented by Harris along with values for V(1,0) from de…

The Secular and Rotational Brightness Variations of Neptune
Neptune has brightened by more than 10% during the past several decades. We report on the analysis of published Johnson-Cousins B and V magnitudes dating back to 1954 along with new U, B, V, R, Rc, I…
Phase Light Curves for Extrasolar Jupiters and Saturns
We predict how a remote observer would see the brightness variations of giant planets similar to those in our solar system as they orbit their central stars. Our models are the first to use measured…
Properties of an Earth-like planet orbiting a Sun-like star: Earth observed by the EPOXI mission.
TLDR
These observations furnish high-precision and high-cadence empirical photometry and spectroscopy of Earth, suitable as "ground truth" for numerically simulating realistic observational scenarios for an Earth-like exoplanet with finite signal-to-noise ratio.

Detectability of planetary characteristics in disk-averaged spectra II: synthetic spectra and light-curves of earth.
TLDR
Modeling the disk-averaged sensitivity to the "red-edge," a distinctive spectral signature of vegetation, showed that Earth's land vegetation could be seen in disk-aversaged spectra, even with cloud cover, when the signal was averaged over the daily time scale.
