Re‐Analysis of Pioneer Venus Data: Water, Iron Sulfate, and Sulfuric Acid are Major Components in Venus' Aerosols

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract We present a new and transformative composition for Venus' cloud aerosols using previously uncharacterized data acquired by the Pioneer Venus Large Probe, which descended through Venus' atmosphere in 1978. This aerosol composition was extracted by re‐analyzing data acquired by the Large Probe Neutral Mass Spectrometer (LNMS) and re‐evaluating ...

Surprise Nondetection of Upsilon Andromedae b with MIRC-X and MYSTIC at the CHARA Array

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Ground-based long baseline interferometry is a powerful tool for characterizing exoplanets that are too close to their host star to be imaged with single-dish telescopes. The CHARA Array can resolve companions down to 0.5 mas, allowing us in principle to

Saturns, but Not Super-Jupiters, Occur More Frequently in the Presence of Inner Super-Earths

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Studies from recent years have reached different conclusions regarding how frequently super-Earths are accompanied by long-period giant planets and vice versa. This relation has been predicted to be mass dependent by planet-formation models.

Minimizing Star-spot Contamination of Exoplanet Transit Spectroscopy Using Alternate Normalization

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Recently, M. H. Currie et al. (2023) simulated the detection of molecules in the atmospheres of temperate rocky exoplanets transiting nearby M-dwarf stars.

Identifying Exoplanet Candidates Using WaveCeptionNet

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
In this study, we propose a wavelet-transform-based light curve representation method and a CNN model based on Inception-v3 for fast classification of light curves, enabling the quick discovery of potentially interesting targets from massive data ...

The Polar Orbit of TOI-2374 b, a Planet in the Neptunian Ridge

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The “Neptunian ridge” is a recently identified peak in the frequency of planets with sizes between that of Neptune and Saturn orbiting their host stars with periods between 3 and 6 days.

ExoMiner++: Enhanced Transit Classification and a New Vetting Catalog for 2-minute TESS Data

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present ExoMiner++ , an enhanced deep learning model that builds on the success of ExoMiner to improve transit signal classification in 2-minute TESS data.

A Direct Comparison between the Use of Double Gray and Multiwavelength Radiative Transfer in a General Circulation Model with and without Radiatively Active Clouds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Inhomogeneous cloud formation and wavelength-dependent phenomena are expected to shape hot Jupiter atmospheres. We present a general circulation model with multiwavelength “picket fence” radiative transfer and radiatively active, temperature-dependent ...

Toward High-precision Mass Measurements of Two Sub-Neptunes in the K2-266 Planetary System Through Transit Timing

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Sub-Neptunes have been found to be one of the most common types of exoplanets, yet their physical parameters and properties are poorly determined and in need of further investigation.

Helium in the Extended Atmosphere of the Warm Superpuff TOI-1420b

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Superpuffs are planets with exceptionally low densities ( ρ ≲ 0.1 g cm ^−3 ) and core masses ( M _c ≲ 5 M _⊕ ). Many lower-mass ( M _p ≲ 10 M _⊕ ) superpuffs are expected to be unstable to catastrophic mass loss via photoevaporation and/or boil-off ...
