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

3D modelling of the impact of stellar activity on tidally locked terrestrial exoplanets: atmospheric composition and habitability

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022
ABSTRACT Stellar flares present challenges to the potential habitability of terrestrial planets orbiting M dwarf stars through inducing changes in the atmospheric composition and irradiating the planet’s surface in large amounts of ultraviolet light.

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 ...

A consistent molecular hydrogen isotope chemistry scheme based on an independent bond approximation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The isotopic composition of molecular hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) produced by photochemical oxidation of methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) is a key quantity in the global isotope budget of (H<sub>2 ...

Simultaneous characterization of the atmospheres, surfaces, and exomoons of nearby rocky exoplanets

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Physics, 2018
Atmospheric composition is an important indicator of habitability and life. The presence or absence of a large exomoon around an Earth-size exoplanet could have important consequences for planet climate stability.

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 ...

Bayesian Deep Learning for Exoplanet Atmospheric Retrieval [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Over the past decade, the study of extrasolar planets has evolved rapidly from plain detection and identification to comprehensive categorization and characterization of exoplanet systems and their atmospheres. Atmospheric retrieval, the inverse modeling
