Equation of State, Structure, and Transport Properties of Iron Hydride Melts at Planetary Interior Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 129, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract Iron hydrides are a potentially dominant component of the metallic cores of planets, primarily because of hydrogen's ubiquity in the universe and affinity for iron. Using ab initio molecular dynamics, we examine iron hydrides with 0.1, 0.33, 0.5, and 0.6 mol fraction hydrogen up to 100 GPa between 3,000 and 5,000 K to describe how hydrogen ...

Transition of the Sun to a Regime of High Activity: Implications for the Earth Climate and Role of Atmospheric Chemistry

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 129, Issue 15, 16 August 2024.
Abstract It was recently suggested that the Sun could switch to a high‐activity regime which would lead to a rise of ultraviolet radiation with an amplitude of about four times larger than the amplitude of an average solar activity cycle and a simultaneous drop in total solar irradiance.

Emergent Exoplanet Flux: Review of the Spitzer Results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Observations using the Spitzer Space Telescope provided the first detections of photons from extrasolar planets. Spitzer observations are allowing us to infer the temperature structure, composition, and dynamics of exoplanet atmospheres. The Spitzer studies extend from many hot Jupiters, to the hot Neptune orbiting GJ436.

Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry: Current and future approaches

open access: yesRapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 38, Issue 14, 30 July 2024.
Rationale Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry (KEMS) has been a powerful tool in physical chemistry since 1954. There are many excellent reviews of the basic principles of KEMS in the literature. In this review, we focus on the current status and potential growth areas for this instrumental technique.

Tropical Cyclones on Tidally Locked Rocky Planets: Dependence on Rotation Period

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Tropical cyclones occur over the Earth’s tropical oceans, with characteristic genesis regions and tracks tied to the warm ocean surface that provide energy to sustain these storms.

Mapping Exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The varied surfaces and atmospheres of planets make them interesting places to live, explore, and study from afar. Unfortunately, the great distance to exoplanets makes it impossible to resolve their disk with current or near-term technology. It is still possible, however, to deduce spatial inhomogeneities in exoplanets provided that different regions ...

Dynamically coupled kinetic chemistry in brown dwarf atmospheres – II. Cloud and chemistry connections in directly imaged sub-Jupiter exoplanets

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT With JWST slated to gain high-fidelity time-dependent data on brown dwarf atmospheres, it is highly anticipated to do the same for directly imaged, sub-Jupiter exoplanets. With this new capability, the need for a full three-dimensional (3D) understanding to explain spectral features and their time dependence is becoming a vital ...

Earth's Alfvén Wings Driven by the April 2023 Coronal Mass Ejection

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 14, 28 July 2024.
Abstract We report a rare regime of Earth's magnetosphere interaction with sub‐Alfvénic solar wind in which the windsock‐like magnetosphere transforms into one with Alfvén wings. In the magnetic cloud of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) on 24 April 2023, NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale mission distinguishes the following features: (a) unshocked and ...

Exoplanet Aeronomy: A Case Study of WASP-69 b’s Variable Thermosphere

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Aeronomy, the study of Earth’s upper atmosphere and its interaction with the local space environment, has long traced changes in the thermospheres of Earth and other solar system planets to solar variability in the X-ray and extreme-ultraviolet ...
