Detection and Characterization of the Temperate Super-Earth Ross 318 b
Ross 318 is an M3.5V red dwarf exhibiting significant magnetic activity and a stellar rotation period of ∼ 51.5 d.
Coupling Magma-ocean And Atmospheres In Spectral Retrievals Of Sub-Neptunes
Recent high-precision atmospheric observations with JWST is enabling detailed characterization of sub-Neptune atmospheres and motivating efforts to understand and constrain their interiors.
Revisiting the Greenhouse Effect of Non-greenhouse Gases in the Atmospheres of Earth-like Planets
Although non-greenhouse gases can vary substantially in abundance in Earth-like atmospheres, their climatic influences remain insufficiently understood.
Mineral False Positives in the Search for Exoplanet Surface Biosignatures
In the search for life in the cosmos, biopigments on exoplanet surfaces are a critical target.
HAT-P-70b Through The Eyes of MAROON-X: Constraining Elemental Abundances of Metals and Insights on Atmosphere Dynamics
Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are exceptional laboratories for studying planetary atmospheres under extreme irradiation conditions.
Exploring TRAPPIST-1 Climate States With An Energy Balance Model
This paper presents a version of the HEXTOR energy balance model that has been configured for the study of habitable terrestrial planets orbiting low-mass stars. The model is validated for […]
Life Is But a Stream: The Distribution Of Planetary Systems Along Stellar Streams And Their Properties
The majority of discovered exoplanets have been observed orbiting field stars as opposed to within a star cluster. To determine whether the lack of observed exoplanets in star clusters is […]
Finding Alien Worlds in Queensland — A Decade of MINERVA-Australis
Three decades ago, humanity entered the Exoplanet Era, with the discovery of the first planets orbiting other stars. Today, more than 6000 exoplanets are known – a tally recently bolstered […]
Modeling Volcanic Plume Heights Across Exoplanet Atmospheres: Insights from TRAPPIST-1
Explosive volcanic eruptions play a fundamental role in the evolution and observability of rocky exoplanets, serving as a key mechanism for injecting volatiles into planetary atmospheres and potentially modifying their […]
