HST-COS Transit Spectroscopy of KELT-20b: First Detection of Excess Far-ultraviolet Absorption from an Ultrahot Jupiter

The Astronomical Journal
KELT-20 b is an ultrahot Jupiter with an equilibrium temperature of 2260 K orbiting a bright ( V = 7.6), fast-rotating ( $v\sin i$ = 117 km s ^−1 ) A2 V star.

The Effect of Condensates on the Characterization of Transiting Planet Atmospheres with Transmission Spectroscopy

, 2005
Through a simple physical argument we show that the slant optical depth through the atmosphere of a "hot Jupiter" planet is 35-90 times greater than the normal optical depth.

Complex demographic, developmental, fitness, and physiological responses of larval eastern hellbenders to elevated water conductivity

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Here we explore the effects of elevated water conductivity on larval eastern hellbenders (Cryptobranchus a. alleganiensis), both lethal and sublethal. We found that elevated water conductivity significantly impacts both survival and morphology, though it has limited effects on locomotor performance, stress physiology, and oxidative stress.

Infrared spectroscopy of Jupiter and Saturn [PDF]

High resolution infrared spectoscopy provides unique insights into the chemistry and dynamics of the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn. The 5 micrometer spectral region, which is transparent to deep levels, is particularly useful for the identification ...

Atmospheric Circulation of Hot Jupiters: A Shallow Three-Dimensional Model

, 2009
Remote observing of exoplanetary atmospheres is now possible, offering us access to circulation regimes unlike any of the familiar Solar System cases. Atmospheric circulation models are being developed to study these new regimes but model validations and

Cloud Structure And Composition Of Jupiter's Atmosphere

Surveys in Geophysics, 1999
The understanding of the composition and cloudstructure has advanced greatly in the last few yearsand in particular was greatly improved upon followingthe highly successful Pioneer and Voyager missions tothat planet. Recently the Galileo spacecraft has goneinto orbit about Jupiter and its remote sensinginstruments, including the Near Infrared ...

Sampling the volcanic plumes at Io: Impact speeds and shock conditions

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The desire to sample material from the interior of Io, by flying through its volcanic plumes, requires consideration of the flyby speed and the types of sample collection techniques that can be utilized. Low speed collection (1–2.5 km s−1) would require an orbit around Io itself, which is unlikely due to the accumulated radiation dose that ...

The Effect of Clouds as an Additional Opacity Source on the Inferred Metallicity of Giant Exoplanets

Atmosphere, 2019
Atmospheres regulate the planetary heat loss and therefore influence planetary thermal evolution. Uncertainty in a giant planet’s thermal state contributes to the uncertainty in the inferred abundance of heavy elements it contains.
