A Metal-poor Atmosphere with a Hot Interior for a Young Sub-Neptune Progenitor: JWST/NIRSpec Transmission Spectrum of V1298 Tau b

The Astronomical Journal
We present the JWST/NIRSpec G395H transmission spectrum of the young (10–30 Myr) transiting planet V1298 Tau b (9.85 ± 0.35 R _⊕ , T _eq  = 670 K). Combined Hubble Space Telescope and JWST observations reveal a haze-free, H/He-dominated atmosphere with a

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 ...

Using Venus, Earth, and Mars to Understand Exoplanet Volatile and Climate Evolution

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Venus, Earth, and Mars exhibit a wide range of interactions between their deep interiors, surfaces, lower and upper atmospheres, and the Sun, with commensurate variations in the nature of their atmospheres and evolution of their volatiles. By examining these worlds' characteristics and behavior, we can gain some understanding of the breadth of

Seasonal Changes in the Atmosphere of HD 80606 b Observed with JWST’s NIRSpec/G395H

The Astronomical Journal
High-eccentricity gas giant planets serve as unique laboratories for studying the thermal and chemical properties of H/He-dominated atmospheres. One of the most extreme cases is HD 80606 b—a hot Jupiter orbiting a Sun-like star with an eccentricity of 0 ...

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.

Supplementary data from Atmospheric composition of exoplanets based on the thermal escape of gases and implications for habitability

, 2020
The detection of habitable exoplanets is an exciting scientific and technical challenge. Owing to the current and most likely long-lasting impossibility of performing in situ exploration of exoplanets, their study and hypotheses regarding their capability to host life will be based on the restricted low-resolution spatial and spectral information of ...

Bistability, Oscillations, and Multistability on Hycean Planets

The Astrophysical Journal
Hycean planets are hypothetical exoplanets characterized by H _2 O oceans and H _2 -rich atmospheres. These planets are high-priority targets for biosignature searches, as they combine abundant surface liquid water with easy-to-characterize H _2 -rich ...

The JWST Rocky Worlds DDT Program Reveals GJ 3929b to Likely Be a Bare Rock

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report first results from the JWST Rocky Worlds Director’s Discretionary Time program. Two secondary eclipses of the terrestrial exoplanet GJ 3929b were recently observed using MIRI photometric imaging at 15 μ m.

The mutual influence of disequilibrium composition and temperature in exoplanet atmospheres

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Astronomical observations have provided an extensive body of evidence for the existence of disequilibrium chemistry in many exoplanet atmospheres, and this departure from a chemical equilibrium composition may have an impact on the temperature of the atmosphere itself.
