A Catalogue Of Exoplanet Atmospheric Retrieval Codes
Exoplanet atmospheric retrieval is a computational technique widely used to infer properties of planetary atmospheres from remote spectroscopic observations.
Comparisons Of The Core And Mantle Compositions Of Earth Analogs From Different Terrestrial Planet Formation Scenarios
The chemical compositions of Earth’s core and mantle provide insight into the processes that led to their formation. N-body simulations, on the other hand, generally do not contain chemical information, […]
Takeout And Delivery: Erasing The Dusty Signature Of Late-stage Terrestrial Planet Formation
The formation of planets like Earth is expected to conclude with a series of late-stage giant impacts that generate warm dusty debris, the most anticipated visible signpost of terrestrial planet […]
Chemical Evolution In Ices On Drifting, Planet-forming Pebbles
Image: Abundances of volatile ices on a drifting pebble as a function of radius (time), where the pebbles moves inwards with time. Left is drift from 128AU, right is drift […]
Terrestrial Planets Comparative Climatology (TPCC) Mission Concept
The authors and co-signers of the Terrestrial Planets Comparative Climatology (TPCC) mission concept white paper advocate that planetary science in the next decade would greatly benefit from comparatively studying the […]
Making Planets in the Laboratory
New laser-driven compression experiments reproduce the conditions deep inside exotic super-Earths and giant planet cores, and the conditions during the violent birth of Earth-like planets, documenting the material properties that […]
Comparative Climatology Symposium: New Approaches to Climate Research
The symposium will highlight the similarities and contrasts between the environments of the terrestrial planets: Venus, Earth, Mars, and Titan. Presentations will cover current Earth climate models, Earth observation, past […]
In Memoriam: Ronald Greeley
The astrobiology community deeply mourns the loss of Ronald Greeley. Ronald Greeley, a Regents’ Professor of planetary geology at Arizona State University, who has been involved in lunar and planetary […]
