Atmospheric Circulation of Tide-Locked Exoplanets [PDF]

Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2019
Tide-locked planets are planets in which tidal stresses from the host star have spun down the planet's rotation to the point where its length of sidereal day equals its length of year. In a nearly circular orbit, such planets have a permanent dayside and a permanent nightside, leading to extreme heating contrasts.

On Atmospheric Retrievals of Exoplanets with Inhomogeneous Terminators

The Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Abstract The complexity of atmospheric retrieval models is largely data-driven, and one-dimensional models have generally been considered adequate with current data quality. However, recent studies have suggested that using 1D models in retrievals can result in anomalously cool terminator temperatures and biased abundance estimates even ...

Thermal Phase Curves in Hot Gas Giant Exoplanets Exhibit a Complex Dependence on Planetary Properties

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a catalog of uniformly processed 3.6 μ m and 4.5 μ m band exoplanet thermal phase curves based on Infrared Array Camera observations obtained from the Spitzer Heritage Archive.

Constraining the Thickness of TRAPPIST-1 b’s Atmosphere from Its JWST Secondary Eclipse Observation at 15 μm

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Recently, the first JWST measurement of thermal emission from a rocky exoplanet was reported. The inferred dayside brightness temperature of TRAPPIST-1 b at 15 μ m is consistent with the planet having no atmosphere and therefore no mechanism by which to ...

Transiting Exoplanets with JWST

, 2008
The era of exoplanet characterization is upon us. For a subset of exoplanets -- the transiting planets -- physical properties can be measured, including mass, radius, and atmosphere characteristics.

Superhabitable Planets Around Mid‐Type K Dwarf Stars Enhance Simulated JWST Observability and Surface Habitability

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT In our search for life beyond the Solar System, certain planetary bodies may be more conducive to life than Earth. However, the observability of these “superhabitable” (SH) planets in the habitable zones around K dwarf stars has not been fully modeled. This study addresses this gap by modeling the atmospheres of SH exoplanets.

Novel Graphitic Oxynitrides as Photocatalysts for Sustainable H2 Production and CO2 Valorization. The Importance of Self‐Assembly for Catalytic Activity

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 3, February 1, 2025.
A novel subclass of graphitic oxynitrides, easily generated from otherwise abundant prebiotic monomers, namely cyanamide and glyoxal, debut in the scenario of sustainable heterogeneous catalysts, as demonstrated through applications to the highly demanding H2 and CO2 agendas.

Initial Thermal States of Super‐Earth Exoplanets and Implications for Early Dynamos

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract The accretion of Earth and the formation of a metallic core released a large amount of primordial heat and may have enabled its evolution into a habitable world. Metal‐silicate segregation likely occurs in super‐Earth exoplanets as well, but its influence on their initial thermal states has not been fully examined.

VAPORIZATION OF THE EARTH: APPLICATION TO EXOPLANET ATMOSPHERES [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2012
Currently, there are about 3 dozen known super-Earth (M < 10 MEarth), of which 8 are transiting planets suitable for atmospheric follow-up observations. Some of the planets are exposed to extreme temperatures as they orbit close to their host stars, e.g., CoRot-7b, and all of these planets have equilibrium temperatures significantly hotter than the ...
