The Pale Blue Dot: Using the Planetary Spectrum Generator to Simulate Signals from Hyper Realistic Exo-Earths

by Keith Cowing

The atmospheres and surfaces of planets show tremendous amount of spatial variation, which has a direct effect on the spectrum of the object, even if this may not be spatially […]

The Pale Blue Dot: Using the Planetary Spectrum Generator to Simulate Signals from Hyperrealistic Exo-Earths

by Keith Cowing

Simulating realistic observations of exoplanet atmospheres requires consideration of several physical, astronomical, and technological aspects. The composition and physical structure of an atmosphere has to be modeled using three dimensional […]

Variability Due To Climate And Chemistry In Observations Of Oxygenated Earth-analogue Exoplanets

by Keith Cowing

The Great Oxidation Event was a period during which Earth’s atmospheric oxygen (O2) concentrations increased from ∼10−5 times its present atmospheric level (PAL) to near modern levels, marking the start […]
