The formation and migration of hot Jupiters remain open questions in exoplanetary science. Their predominantly isolated architecture provides few direct clues about the dynamical processes responsible for placing giant planets on short-period orbits. Systems in which a hot Jupiter retains a close planetary companion are therefore particularly valuable, as gravitational interactions within such...

L98-59 is an M-dwarf star located about 34.6 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Volans. L98-59 d is an extreme super-Earth exoplanet initially discovered by NASA's TESS in 2019. The JWST and ground-based facilities confirmed it belongs to an entirely new class of molten, sulphur-rich planets.

This research developed a model using a modified CR3BP framework with an additional artificial mass to locate and optimise artificial Lagrange points (L4/L5) in the Jupiter-Europa system, positioning a satellite to investigate Europa. The model evaluates potential system configurations across a parameterised grid of source positions (xA, yA) and the mass ratio of the Artificial mass to the...

Icy satellites form by accreting ice-rich planetesimals within the circumplanetary disk of their host planet. Under short accretion timescales, the resulting impact energy can vaporize surface ices, generating a transient water-vapor atmosphere. We present preliminary results of numerical simulations performed to study the heating, melting, and ice-rock separation at the surface of these...

The study of thermal evolution is important for understanding the initial phases of differentiation and formation of metal rich bodies such as 16-Psyche. In this model we analysis the heat generation and thermal evolution of proto-psyche in early phases. This study includes the contribution of short lived radionuclides 26Al and 60Fe, as a significant heat source in early evolution. In addition...

Orbital associations of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) can be used to identify groups with similar low-thrust mission accessibility. We present a computational pipeline that links the search for orbital associations with preliminary multi-target mission design. Candidate NEO pairs are first identified using a $k$-nearest-neighbour search based on a KD-tree and then evaluated using the Drummond...

Extraterrestrial natural hazards, particularly the impact of asteroids, meteorites, and other celestial bodies on Earth, are low-probability events with potentially severe and cascading consequences. Despite their potential impacts, these hazards have received limited attention in Iran’s disaster risk management and preparedness planning. This study focuses on Central Iran and proposes a...

Tens of thousands of known small Solar System bodies have orbits passing within approximately 0.5 AU of the Mars’ orbit. Identifying objects that could be redirected onto Mars-impacting trajectories under weak continuous forcing is relevant to studies of long-term planetary engineering, including conceptual investigations of Mars terraforming. Such problems also provide a demanding test case...

Planetary missions targeted at rocky bodies generate large amounts of geological data. For example, geochemical information is obtained by spectrometers installed on Martian rovers.

We are considering the use of existing Martian resources to recreate the planet's past environment. It is worth noting that such a reconstruction could serve as a prelude to terraforming Mars without the need to import material from the Kuiper Belt—a requirement of the radical terraforming scenario proposed by Czechowski (2025, LPSC 2025, #1858). The Martian environment of billions of years...

Venus lacks plate tectonics, yet its highland–lowland topography and clustering of coronae and volcanic provinces suggest large-scale organization of mantle upwelling and downwelling. We test whether such organization can emerge without imposing a preferred lateral asymmetry through nonlinear interaction between near-degenerate convective modes, within a hypothesis termed pulse thermal...

Volcanic systems on Earth commonly evolve through repeated eruptive episodes, comprising discrete events grouped into phases. The accumulation of volcanic deposits builds the edifice while obscuring evidence of the system's evolution through space and time.

Transverse Aeolian Ridges (TARs) are decametre scale bedforms, ubiquitous on the surface of Mars. TARs are are oriented perpendicular to the direction of the prevailing peak winds. Since TARs do not appear to be moving in the present day, their orientation likely records the wind patterns during historic epochs when the environmental conditions on Mars were more conducive to mass movement than...

Regolith is a loose layer of sediment, composed of dust, sand, and gravel grains that covers the solid surface of planetary bodies (planets, moons, asteroids, etc.). Research on the transport of regolith grains and its properties is one of the most important issues in planetary research, because any interaction with the surface of such a body is an interaction with the regolith.
