High Accuracy Molecular Line Lists for Studies of Exoplanets and Other Hot Atmospheres

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
The desire to characterize and model the atmospheres of the many extrasolar planets that have been discovered over the last three decades is a major driver of current astronomy.

The Fourier-Kelvin Stellar Interferometer: a low-complexity low-cost space mission for high-resolution astronomy and direct exoplanet detection [PDF]

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 2006
The Fourier-Kelvin Stellar Interferometer (FKSI) is a mission concept for a spacecraft-borne nulling interferometer for high-resolution astronomy and the direct detection of exoplanets and assay of their environments and atmospheres. FKSI is a high angular resolution system operating in the near to midinfrared spectral region and is a scientific and ...

Predicting Nitrogen Isotope Fractionation in Nitrate Deposition on Early Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Noachian and early Hesperian Mars were likely warm and wet, with an atmosphere abundant in molecular nitrogen. The recent discovery of nitrate deposits in the Yellowknife Bay mudstones at Gale Crater confirm the existence of nitrogen oxides (NOX) on Noachian Mars. The processes responsible for the production of these nitrates would fractionate

Determining the Detectability of H2O with Photometric Observations Using Bayesian Analysis for Remote Biosignature Identification on exo-Earths (BARBIE)

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We examine the detectability of water (H _2 O) in the reflected-light spectrum of an Earth-like exoplanet assuming a photometric observational approach rather than spectroscopic. By quantifying the detectability as a function of normalized exposure time,

On the Detection of Low‐Frequency Planetary Radio Emission With an Orbiting Interferometer

open access: yesRadio Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The magnetized planets of the outer Solar System produce kilometric radio emissions at very low frequencies (<1 ${< } 1\,$MHz). They reveal the planetary magnetic dynamics and their interaction with the solar wind. Those radio emissions can also serve as a proxy for interplanetary space weather monitoring.

Individual and Statistical Characterization of the Giant Exoplanet Population

open access: yes, 2021
The field of observational exoplanet astronomy has seen tremendous progress over the span of only a few decades. Now, we find ourselves at the dawn of a new era: the characterization of distant worlds.

A survey of exoplanet phase curves with Ariel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The ESA-Ariel mission will include a tier dedicated to exoplanet phase curves corresponding to ∼ 10 % of the science time. We present here the current observing strategy for studying exoplanet phase curves with Ariel.

The HD 191939 Exoplanet System is Well Aligned and Flat

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We report the sky-projected spin–orbit angle λ for HD 191939 b, the innermost planet in a six-planet system, using Keck/KPF to detect the Rossiter–McLaughlin (RM) effect.
