Limits on Clouds and Hazes for the TRAPPIST-1 Planets

, 2018
The TRAPPIST-1 planetary system is an excellent candidate for study of the evolution and habitability of M-dwarf planets. Transmission spectroscopy observations performed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) suggest the innermost five planets do not ...

Exoplanet Characterization by Multi-Observatory Transit Photometry with TESS and CHEOPS [PDF]

, 2017
Space-based photometric surveys have discovered large numbers of planets transiting other stars, but these observe in a single band-pass and yield only the planet radius, orbital period, and transit duration.

Lithium Niobate Quadratic Integrated Nonlinear Photonics: Enabling Ultra‐Wide Bandwidth and Ultrafast Photonic Engines

Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 9, 13 May 2026.
This perspective surveys emerging quantum and classical photonic applications across operating wavelengths and timescales, highlighting persistent technological gaps in integrated light sources. We examine the unique advantages of quadratic nonlinear photonics on the thin‐film lithium niobate (TFLN) platform and discuss strategies for realizing ...

Ground-based Reconnaissance Observations of 21 Exoplanet Atmospheres with the Exoplanet Transmission Spectroscopy Imager

The Astronomical Journal
One of the most prolific methods of studying exoplanet atmospheres is transmission spectroscopy, which measures the difference between the depth of an exoplanet's transit signal at various wavelengths and attempts to correlate the depth changes to ...

Impacts of Carbon Dioxide Deposition on Martian Near‐Surface Wave Activity

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract A prominent feature of Mars' winter atmosphere is near‐surface baroclinic wave activity. These waves exert strong control on dust storm variability and contribute to transport of heat, momentum, and dust. Using a suite of Mars general circulation model simulations, we investigate an underexplored connection between near‐surface wave activity ...

The Importance of Optical Wavelength Data on Atmospheric Retrievals of Exoplanet Transmission Spectra

The Astronomical Journal
Exoplanet transmission spectra provide rich information about the chemical composition, clouds, and temperature structure of exoplanet atmospheres. Most exoplanet transmission spectra only span infrared wavelengths (≳1 μ m), which can preclude crucial ...

Deciphering the “Missing Xenon Paradox” in Celestial Bodies: A Multifaceted Perspective Toward Demystifying This Enigma

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Xenon (Xe) is a heavy noble gas with intriguing chemical properties, such as having several stable isotopes and the ability to form compounds under extreme conditions. Despite the predictions based on cosmochemical models that suggest xenon should be relatively abundant in planetary reservoirs, empirical data indicate a significant depletion ...

Characterizing the Atmospheric Dynamics of HD 209458b-like Hot Jupiters Using AI-driven Image Recognition/Categorization

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In order to understand the results of recent observations of exoplanets, models have become increasingly complex. Unfortunately, this increases both the computational cost and output size of said models.

Using near infra-red spectroscopy for characterization of transiting exoplanets

, 2015
We propose a method for observing transiting exoplanets with near-infrared high-resolution spectrometers. We aim to create a robust data analysis method for recovering atmospheric transmission spectra from transiting exoplanets over a wide wavelength ...
