A Cross‐Correlation Method to Evaluate Wind Retrieval Accuracy on Mars Using Simulated Microwave Limb Sounder Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract While aspects such as the temperature and composition of the Martian atmosphere are relatively well known thanks to observations from numerous space missions, Martian atmospheric dynamics remain poorly constrained due to the scarcity of direct wind measurements. The use of microwave limb sounders to retrieve winds has been proposed in the past,

A Temperature and Abundance Retrieval Method for Exoplanet Atmospheres

, 2009
We present a new method to retrieve molecular abundances and temperature profiles from exoplanet atmosphere photometry and spectroscopy. We run millions of 1D atmosphere models in order to cover the large range of allowed parameter space, and present ...

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 ...

Formation of Asteroid (16) Psyche by a Giant Impact

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Asteroid (16) Psyche is the largest likely metal‐rich asteroid in the Solar System and the target of the NASA Psyche mission. The mission aims to determine whether the asteroid is the core of a differentiated planetesimal that lost its mantle via a giant impact.

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

Extremely Irradiated Hot Jupiters: Non-Oxide Inversions, H- Opacity, and Thermal Dissociation of Molecules

, 2018
Extremely irradiated hot Jupiters, exoplanets reaching dayside temperatures ${>}$2000 K, stretch our understanding of planetary atmospheres and the models we use to interpret observations.

Atmospheric Circulation of Exoplanets

, 2009
We survey the basic principles of atmospheric dynamics relevant to explaining existing and future observations of exoplanets, both gas giant and terrestrial. Given the paucity of data on exoplanet atmospheres, our approach is to emphasize fundamental principles and insights gained from Solar-System studies that are likely to be generalizable to ...

Cation Disorder of Mg2SiO4 ${\text{Mg}}_{\mathbf{2}}{\text{SiO}}_{\mathbf{4}}$ in Super‐Earth Mantles

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.
Abstract Understanding the mineralogy of exoplanets is essential for unraveling their interior structures, dynamics, and evolution. For large super‐Earths, the post‐post spinel Mg2SiO4 ${\text{Mg}}_{2}{\text{SiO}}_{4}$, one of the major mantle phases, may undergo the order‐disorder transition (ODT) at high temperatures.
