At the dawn of the first discovery of exoplanets orbiting Sun-like stars in the mid-1990s, few believed that observations of exoplanet atmospheres would ever be possible.

Atmospheric C/O Ratios of Sub-Neptunes with Magma Oceans: Homemade rather than Inherited
Recently, the James Webb Space Telescope has enabled detailed spectroscopic characterization of sub-Neptune atmospheres. With detections of carbon- and oxygen-bearing species such as CO, CO _2 , CH _4 , and H _2 O, a central question is whether the ...

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 atmospheres of rocky exoplanets
Context. The crust composition of rocky exoplanets with substantial atmospheres cannot be observed directly. However, recent developments have enabled novel observations and characterisations of their atmospheres. Aims. We aim to establish a link between observable spectroscopic atmospheric features and the mineralogical crust composition of exoplanets.

Direct Evidence of Photochemistry in an Exoplanet Atmosphere
Photochemistry is a fundamental process of planetary atmospheres that is integral to habitability, atmospheric composition and stability, and aerosol formation. However, no unambiguous photochemical products have been detected in exoplanet atmospheres to

Sub-Neptunes Are Drier than They Seem: Rethinking the Origins of Water-rich Worlds
Recent claims of biosignature gases in sub-Neptune atmospheres have renewed interest in water-rich sub-Neptunes with surface oceans, often referred to as Hycean planets. These planets are hypothesized to form beyond the snow line, accreting large amounts

The Effects of Non-ideal Mixing in Planetary Magma Oceans and Atmospheres
Sub-Neptunes with hydrogen-rich envelopes are expected to sustain long-lived magma oceans that continuously exchange volatiles with their overlying atmospheres.

A Solar Analog Model for Decrease in Far Ultraviolet Irradiance Under a Grand Minimum
Abstract Solar analog field stars having a range of magnetic activity can provide an estimate of solar spectral irradiance (SSI) variability relevant to understanding the Sun's influence on terrestrial climate. This approach is particularly useful for far ultraviolet (FUV) irradiance that cannot be observed from the Earth surface.
