Magnetic Evolution of Super‐Earth Exoplanets With a Basal Magma Ocean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Habitability of super‐Earths likely requires self‐sustained magnetic fields to shield their atmospheres from stellar forcing. Extreme pressures and temperatures probably produce a long‐lived basal magma ocean (BMO), a potential source for these fields.

Mapping Exoplanets

, 2020
The varied surfaces and atmospheres of planets make them interesting places to live, explore, and study from afar. Unfortunately, the great distance to exoplanets makes it impossible to resolve their disk with current or near-term technology. It is still

JWST Discovers the Vertical Structure of Uranus' Ionosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract On 19 January 2025, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) program # $\mathrm{\#}$5073 observed Uranus for almost a full rotation with NIRSpec. We present the first ever vertical ionospheric profiles of H3+ ${\mathrm{H}}_{3}^{+}$ temperature, volumetric density and total emission.

High Pressure Formation of the Eight‐Fold Coordinated Post‐Post Spinel MgFe2O4

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract MgFe2O4 was probed to 74(1) GPa and 2,840(130) K as a low‐pressure analog to post‐post spinel Mg2SiO4 predicted in super‐Earths using synchrotron multigrain X‐ray diffraction techniques in the laser‐heated diamond anvil cell. With high‐temperatures above 65 GPa the eight‐fold coordinated δ‐MgFe2O4 (Th3P4‐type) is stable with Mg and Fe ...

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

The 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,

Spatially resolved spectroscopy across stellar surfaces. I. Using exoplanet transits to analyze 3-D stellar atmospheres

, 2017
CONTEXT: High-precision stellar analyses require hydrodynamic modeling to interpret chemical abundances or oscillation modes. Exoplanet atmosphere studies require stellar background spectra to be known along the transit path while detection of Earth ...

Atmospheric Dynamics of Hot Exoplanets [PDF]

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2015
The characterization of exoplanetary atmospheres has come of age in the past decade, as astronomical techniques now allow for albedos, chemical abundances, temperature profiles and maps, rotation periods, and even wind speeds to be measured. Atmospheric dynamics sets the background state of density, temperature, and velocity that determines or ...

Confirmation of a Non‐Transiting Planet in the Habitable Zone of the Nearby M Dwarf L 98‐59

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Only 40 exoplanetary systems with five or more planets are currently known. These systems are crucial for our understanding of planet formation and planet‐planet interaction. The M dwarf L 98‐59 has previously been found to show evidence of five planets, three of which are transiting.

Observing transiting planets with JWST -- Prime targets and their synthetic spectral observations

, 2016
The James Webb Space Telescope will enable astronomers to obtain exoplanet spectra of unprecedented precision. Especially the MIRI instrument may shed light on the nature of the cloud particles obscuring planetary transmission spectra in the optical and ...
