ExoGemS Detection of a Metal Hydride in an Exoplanet Atmosphere at High Spectral Resolution
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Exoplanet atmosphere studies are often enriched by synergies with brown dwarf analogs. However, many key molecules commonly seen in brown dwarfs have yet to be confirmed in exoplanet atmospheres.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Due to their likely tidally synchronized nature, (ultra)hot Jupiter atmospheres should experience strongly spatially heterogeneous instellation. The large irradiation contrast and resulting atmospheric circulation induce temperature and chemical ...

Mechanisms affecting the composition of Hot Jupiters atmospheres
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 Opacities and thus local chemical composition play a key role when characterizing exoplanet atmospheres from observations. When the gas is in chemical equilibrium the chemical abundances depend strongly on the temperature profile.

Jupiter as a Giant Cosmic Ray Detector [PDF]
, 2014 We explore the feasibility of using the atmosphere of Jupiter to detect Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR's). The large surface area of Jupiter allows us to probe cosmic rays of higher energies than previously accessible.

Constraints on Europa’s Water Group Torus from HST/COS Observations
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 In situ plasma measurements as well as remote mapping of energetic neutral atoms around Jupiter provide indirect evidence that an enhancement of neutral gas is present near the orbit of the moon Europa.
