Nightside condensation of iron in an ultra-hot giant exoplanet [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2020
Ultrahot giant exoplanets receive thousands of times Earth’s insolation1,2. Their high-temperature atmospheres (greater than 2,000 kelvin) are ideal laboratories for studying extreme planetary climates and chemistry3–5. Daysides are predicted to be cloud-

Chemical Abundances for 25 JWST Exoplanet Host Stars with KeckSpec [PDF]

open access: yesResearch Notes of the AAS, 2022
Using a data-driven machine learning tool we report T eff, log(g) , vsin(i) , and elemental abundances for 15 elements (C, N, O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Y) for a sample of 25 exoplanet host stars targeted by JWST's first year of ...

Exoplanet imaging data challenge: benchmarking the various image processing methods for exoplanet detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The Exoplanet Imaging Data Challenge is a community-wide effort meant to offer a platform for a fair and common comparison of image processing methods designed for exoplanet direct detection. For this purpose, it gathers on a dedicated repository (Zenodo)

Efficient metal emissions in the upper atmospheres of close-in exoplanets

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Physics, 2018
Atmospheric escape is a key process controlling the long term evolution of planets. Radiative cooling competes for energy against atmospheric escape in planetary upper atmospheres.

The Peak Absorbance Wavelength of Photosynthetic Pigments Around Other Stars From Spectral Optimization

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
In the search for life on other planets, the presence of photosynthetic surface vegetation may be detectable from the colors of light it reflects. On the modern Earth, this spectral reflectance is characterized by a steep increase in reflectance between ...

Silicate clouds and a circumplanetary disk in the YSES-1 exoplanet system [PDF]

open access: yesNature
Young exoplanets provide an important link between understanding planet formation and atmospheric evolution1. Direct imaging spectroscopy allows us to infer the properties of young, wide-orbit, giant planets with high signal-to-noise ratio.

Effect of Laboratory Reagents for Cleaning Modern Contamination on the δ<sup>15</sup>N Integrity of Nitrogen-Poor Samples. [PDF]

open access: yesRapid Commun Mass Spectrom
ABSTRACT Rationale Nitrogen isotope values have been widely used for tracing ancient biogeochemical processes, but contaminant‐sensitive materials, such as Precambrian sedimentary rocks, meteorites, or returned extraterrestrial samples, often have low nitrogen levels and are thus vulnerable to modern organic contamination.

A high internal heat flux and large core in a warm Neptune exoplanet [PDF]

open access: yesNature
Interactions between exoplanetary atmospheres and internal properties have long been proposed to be drivers of the inflation mechanisms of gaseous planets and apparent atmospheric chemical disequilibrium conditions1.
