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

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Outgassing Composition of the Murchison Meteorite: Implications for Volatile Depletion of Planetesimals and Interior-atmosphere Connections for Terrestrial Exoplanets

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Abstract Outgassing is a central process during the formation and evolution of terrestrial planets and their atmospheres both within and beyond the solar system. Although terrestrial planets’ early atmospheres likely form via outgassing during planetary accretion, the connection between a planet’s bulk composition and its

Modelling compositional convection for applications to exoplanet atmospheres

open access: yes, 2023
Characterizing the climates of exoplanets— planets orbiting other stars —advances our knowledge of atmospheric science, planetary formation, internal structures and will eventually lead to the holy grail of exoplanet science, detecting biosignatures of alien life. This study focuses on atmospheric convection in super-Earth and sub-Neptune exoplanets, a

The Similar Seven: A Set of Very Alike Exoplanets to Test Correlations between System Parameters and Atmospheric Properties

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Studies of exoplanetary atmospheres have found no definite correlations between observed high-altitude aerosols and other system parameters. This could be, in part, because of the lack of homogeneous exoplanet samples for which specific parameters can be

Exo-Transmit: An Open-Source Code for Calculating Transmission Spectra for Exoplanet Atmospheres of Varied Composition [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2017
We present Exo-Transmit, a software package to calculate exoplanet transmission spectra for planets of varied composition. The code is designed to generate spectra of planets with a wide range of atmospheric composition, temperature, surface gravity, and size, and is therefore applicable to exoplanets ranging in mass and size from hot Jupiters down to ...

Atmospheric composition of exoplanets based on the thermal escape of gases and implications for habitability: Atmospheric composition of exoplanets

open access: yes, 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 ...

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

open access: yesThe 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 ...

The ARCiS framework for Exoplanet Atmospheres: The Cloud Transport Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Understanding of clouds is instrumental in interpreting current and future spectroscopic observations of exoplanets. Modelling clouds consistently is complex, since it involves many facets of chemistry, nucleation theory, condensation physics ...
