The Astronomical JournalAlthough Neptunian-sized (2–5 R _⊕ ) planets appear to be extremely common in the Galaxy, many mysteries remain about their overall nature. To date, only 11 Neptunian-sized planets have had their atmospheres spectroscopically characterized, and these ...

Advancing Heliophysics and Space Weather Modeling Through Open Science
Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract We present a community‐wide effort to develop a strategy and action plan to advance heliophysics and space weather modeling through open science. While open science has the potential to enhance the quality and pace of scientific discovery, its application to scientific modeling requires more careful consideration regarding open data and open ...

, 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 ...

The Role of Planetary Rotation in Polar Cusp Localization
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.Abstract Juno observations have revealed that Jupiter's polar cusps are displaced toward dusk and even the nightside, contradicting the Earth‐derived paradigm that is confined to narrower ranges near noon. These findings underscore the overlooked influence of planetary rotation on magnetospheric dynamics, exposing a critical gap in current theoretical ...

Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 9, 13 May 2026.This perspective surveys emerging quantum and classical photonic applications across operating wavelengths and timescales, highlighting persistent technological gaps in integrated light sources. We examine the unique advantages of quadratic nonlinear photonics on the thin‐film lithium niobate (TFLN) platform and discuss strategies for realizing ...

Overcast Mornings and Clear Evenings in Hot Jupiter Exoplanet Atmospheres
The Astrophysical Journal LettersAerosols are an old topic in the young field of exoplanet atmospheres. Understanding what they are, how they form, and where they go has long provided a fertile playground for theorists.

The Impact of the Sulfur Allotropes and Sulfur Hydrides on the Venus Cloud Chemistry
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Venus is home to vivid sulfur chemistry, with SO2 ${\text{SO}}_{2}$ as the major sulfur gas species and a global cloud layer between 47 and 70 km composed of H2SO4 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}{\text{SO}}_{4}$ and H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$O. The chemistry in the clouds has been extensively studied with 1D models, but none is able to reproduce the three orders
