CHARACTERIZING TRANSITING EXOPLANET ATMOSPHERES WITH JWST [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2016
ABSTRACT We explore how well spectra from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will likely constrain bulk atmospheric properties of transiting exoplanets. We start by modeling the atmospheres of archetypal hot Jupiter, warm Neptune, warm sub-Neptune, and cool super-Earth planets with atmospheres that are clear, cloudy, or of high mean ...

Survey and Modeling of Windblown Ejecta Deposits on Venus

AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Venus' thick atmosphere rotates in the same direction as the solid body, but ∼60 times faster. This atmospheric superrotation has produced dozens of windblown ejecta deposits (“parabolas”) on the surface of Venus. The formation and modification of parabolas is an interplay between impacts, aeolian modification, and atmospheric dynamics.

Modeling Atmospheric Lines by the Exoplanet Community (MALBEC) Version 1.0: A CUISINES Radiative Transfer Intercomparison Project

The Planetary Science Journal
Radiative transfer (RT) models are critical in the interpretation of exoplanetary spectra, in simulating exoplanet climates, and when designing the specifications of future flagship observatories.

Evidence for a Natural Limit to Electron Space Radiation: An Application of Benford's Law

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Recent research has highlighted observational evidence for a natural limit to the severity of energetic electron differential fluxes in the Van Allen radiation belts. Here, we analyze the occurrence distributions of electron differential fluxes from the entire Van Allen Probes mission (2012–2019) to further investigate the energy dependence of

Atmospheric Retrieval of L Dwarfs: Benchmarking Results and Characterizing the Young Planetary Mass Companion HD 106906 b in the Near-infrared

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present model constraints on the atmospheric structure of HD 106906 b, a planetary-mass companion orbiting at a ∼700 au projected separation around a 15 Myr old stellar binary, using the APOLLO retrieval code on spectral data spanning 1.1–2.5 μ m. C/O

On the Measurement of Ocean Acidity With Ambient Sound

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract The volume‐integrated pH of seawater can be determined from the frequency and depth dependence of wind‐generated ambient noise in the ocean. Over the 1–10 kHz frequency band, three main processes contribute to the acoustic attenuation in seawater: the chemical relaxation of boric acid and magnesium carbonate (<3 kHz, related to pH) and of ...

ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY OF VENUS-LIKE EXOPLANETS [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2011
We use thermodynamic calculations to model atmospheric chemistry on terrestrial exoplanets that are hot enough for chemical equilibira between the atmosphere and lithosphere, as on Venus. The results of our calculations place constraints on abundances of spectroscopically observable gases, the surface temperature and pressure, and the mineralogy of the

Clouds in Partial Atmospheres of Lava Planets and Where to Find Them

The Astronomical Journal
With dayside temperatures hot enough to sustain a magma ocean and a silicate atmosphere, lava planets are the best targets for studying the atmosphere of a rocky world.

Hubble Space Telescope Transmission Spectroscopy for the Temperate Sub-Neptune TOI-270 d: A Possible Hydrogen-rich Atmosphere Containing Water Vapor

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
TOI-270 d is a temperate sub-Neptune discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) around a bright ( J = 9.1 mag) M3V host star. With an approximate radius of 2 R _⊕ and equilibrium temperature of 350 K, TOI-270 d is one of the most ...
