Effects of Hydrogen on Fe‐S Alloys and Their Implications for the Martian Core

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Meteorites suggest the Martian core comprises iron (Fe) or iron‐nickel (Fe‐Ni) alloy with sulfur (S) identified as the primary light element. The InSight data revealed a larger, less dense Martian core than previously estimated, indicating additional light elements.

Constraining Atmospheric Composition from the Outflow: Helium Observations Reveal the Fundamental Properties of Two Planets Straddling the Radius Gap

The Astronomical Journal
TOI-836 is a ∼2–3 Gyr K dwarf with an inner super Earth ( R  = 1.7 R _⊕ , P = 3.8 days) and an outer mini-Neptune ( R  = 2.6 R _⊕ , P = 8.6 days). JWST/NIRSpec 2.8–5.2 μ m transmission spectra are flat for both planets.

Magnetic Evolution of Super‐Earth Exoplanets With a Basal Magma Ocean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Habitability of super‐Earths likely requires self‐sustained magnetic fields to shield their atmospheres from stellar forcing. Extreme pressures and temperatures probably produce a long‐lived basal magma ocean (BMO), a potential source for these fields.

Fractal Aggregate Aerosols in the Virga Cloud Code. II. Exploring the Effects of Key Cloud Parameters in Warm Neptune, Hot Jupiter and Brown Dwarf Atmospheres

The Astrophysical Journal
Aerosols and clouds are expected to be ubiquitous in exoplanet and brown dwarf atmospheres, where they can have a significant impact on transmission and emission spectra.

Bayesian Deep Learning for Exoplanet Atmospheric Retrieval [PDF]

, 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

High Pressure Formation of the Eight‐Fold Coordinated Post‐Post Spinel MgFe2O4

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract MgFe2O4 was probed to 74(1) GPa and 2,840(130) K as a low‐pressure analog to post‐post spinel Mg2SiO4 predicted in super‐Earths using synchrotron multigrain X‐ray diffraction techniques in the laser‐heated diamond anvil cell. With high‐temperatures above 65 GPa the eight‐fold coordinated δ‐MgFe2O4 (Th3P4‐type) is stable with Mg and Fe ...

Overcast Mornings and Clear Evenings in Hot Jupiter Exoplanet Atmospheres

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Aerosols 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.

Nitrogen as a Tracer of Giant Planet Formation. II. Comprehensive Study of Nitrogen Photochemistry and Implications for Observing NH3 and HCN in Transmission and Emission Spectra

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Atmospheric nitrogen may provide important constraints on giant planet formation. Following our semianalytical work, we further pursue the relation between observable NH _3 and an atmosphere’s bulk nitrogen abundance by applying the photochemical ...

High-Resolution Spectroscopy of Exoplanet Atmospheres

, 2022
Over five thousand exoplanets have been discovered, but relatively little is known about their atmospheric properties and compositions. Characterizing exoplanet atmospheres is the most promising avenue through which we can learn more about exoplanets ...

Confirmation of a Non‐Transiting Planet in the Habitable Zone of the Nearby M Dwarf L 98‐59

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Only 40 exoplanetary systems with five or more planets are currently known. These systems are crucial for our understanding of planet formation and planet‐planet interaction. The M dwarf L 98‐59 has previously been found to show evidence of five planets, three of which are transiting.
