Detecting Multi-Planetary Systems with Gravitational Microlensing and the Roman Space Telescope
It is plausible that most of the Stars in the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy, like the Sun, consist of planetary systems, instead of a single planet. Out of the estimately […]

A Search for Extraterrestrial Technosignatures in Archival FAST Survey Data Using a New Procedure
The aim of “search for extraterrestrial intelligence” (SETI) commensal surveys is to scan the sky to find possible technosignatures from the extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI).

Free-floating or wide-orbit? Keck Adaptive-optics Observations Reveal No Host Stars Near Free-Floating Planet Candidates
Recent detections of extremely short-timescale microlensing events imply the existence of a large population of Earth- to Neptune-mass planets that appear to have no host stars.
