Since the discovery of the first exoplanets in the early 1990s (Mayor & Queloz, 1995;Wolszczan & Frail, 1992), questions about extra-solar planets have focused on their potential to support life. Over 4,200 exoplanets have been identified in the last 30 years, with active missions such as NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and the University of Liège's Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope aiming to double this number in the next few years. To date, investigations of exoplanets have primarily utilized methods from the fields of astronomy and geophysics; knowledge of exoplanets is overwhelmingly limited to parameters that can be calculated from astronomical observations (e.g., mass and radius). These data have allowed for the classification of exoplanets by their size and stellar irradiance (e.g., Fulton
