HyDRo: Atmospheric Retrieval of Rocky Exoplanets in Thermal Emission [PDF]
, 2021 Emission spectroscopy is a promising technique to observe atmospheres of rocky exoplanets, probing both their chemistry and thermal profiles. We present HyDRo, an atmospheric retrieval framework for thermal emission spectra of rocky exoplanets. HyDRo does not make prior assumptions about the background atmospheric composition, and can therefore be used

Can Isotopologues Be Used as Biosignature Gases in Exoplanet Atmospheres?
Life, 2023 Isotopologue ratios are anticipated to be one of the most promising signs of life that can be observed remotely. On Earth, carbon isotopes have been used for decades as evidence of modern and early metabolic processes. In fact, carbon isotopes may be the

Observations of Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2015 Detailed characterization of an extrasolar planet's atmosphere provides the best hope for distinguishing the makeup of its outer layers, and the only hope for understanding the interplay between initial composition, chemistry, dynamics & circulation, and disequilibrium processes.

High-resolution Transmission Spectroscopy of the Terrestrial Exoplanet GJ 486b
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Terrestrial exoplanets orbiting M-dwarf stars are promising targets for transmission spectroscopy with existing or near-future instrumentation. The atmospheric composition of such rocky planets remains an open question, especially given the high X-ray ...

The Sensitivity of Eclipse Mapping to Planetary Rotation
The Astronomical Journal, 2022 Mapping exoplanets across phases and during secondary eclipse is a powerful technique for characterizing Hot Jupiters in emission. Since these planets are expected to rotate about axes normal to their orbital planes, with rotation periods synchronized ...
