Mapping exoplanet clouds and albedo from phase curves and spectra
… to investigate variations in visible wavelength phase curves of exoplanets. We improve upon existing exoplanet giant planet albedo models and incorporate exoplanet general circulation models to analyze the composition and occurrence of clouds on tidally locked exoplanets. We confirm that …

Binary Star Systems with Asymmetrically Heated Disks: Thermal Phase Curves for the Disk in Epsilon Aurigae
… Aurigae, are evaluated in order to extract phase-dependent disk temperatures. The resulting temperatures create a thermal phase curve, or TPC, for the system. The TPC correlates the observed disk temperature with orbital phase or date of observation. Then, the best-case MCRT and MCRT-TI …

Magnetic quartz crystal microbalance
… changes in the QCM admittance magnitude and phase curves were observed. A mass-equivalent stack of continuous consecutive layers of nickel and gold was also exposed to magnetic field but no changes were observed. Butterworth-van-Dyke model attributed the effect to internal shear friction loss …

Maps and masses of transiting exoplanets : towards new insights into atmospheric and interior properties of planets
… effects via global analyses including transits, phase curves, and radial velocity measurements. I use this method to create the first two-dimensional map and the first cloud map of an exoplanet for the hot-Jupiters HD 189733b and Kepler-7b, respectively. The second method, MassSpec, aims to …
