OPTIMIZING JWST EXOPLANETARY ATMOSPHERIC CHARACTERIZATION THROUGH PRIORITIZATION AND VALIDATION OF TESS-DISCOVERED EXOPLANETS AND PANCHROMATIC STUDIES
(2021)The approaching launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), coupled with the recent all-sky search of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), heralds a new era in exoplanetary atmospheric characterization, ... -
Dataset for "Stratigraphic Evidence for Early Martian Explosive Volcanism in Arabia Terra"
(2021)Seven Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) in the Arabia Terra region, Mars, were created using spatially overlapping images (i.e., "stereo images") from the Context Camera (CTX) aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). ... -
Circumstellar Material on and off the Main Sequence: Methods and tools for constraining the composition of gas and dust around stars
(2020)Circumstellar (C-S) dust is present around stars throughout their entire life cycles. About 20-50\% of sun-like stars on the main sequence (MS) have belts of rocky material like the Solar System's asteroid and Kuiper Belts. ... -
The Tilts and Spins of Planets and Moons
(2020)The planets' spin states, specifically their tilts and spins, can provide useful constraints to planetary formation as they evolve and interact with their surroundings. In this thesis, we explore the spin dynamics required ... -
Resonances in Ring, Satellite, and Planetary Systems
(2020)In this thesis, we study the origin and evolution of planets, rings, and moons in the context of orbital dynamics. In particular, we investigate the Kepler 36 exoplanet system, which features two known planets whose semimajor ...
