Coupled atmospheric chemistry, radiation, and dynamics of an exoplanet generate self-sustained oscillations

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023
Nonlinearity in photochemical systems is known to allow self-sustained oscillations, but they have received little attention in studies of planetary atmospheres. Here, we present a unique, self-oscillatory solution for ozone chemistry of an exoplanet from a numerical simulation using a fully coupled, three-dimensional (3D) atmospheric chemistry ...

POSEIDON: A Multidimensional Atmospheric Retrieval Code for Exoplanet Spectra [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Open Source Software, 2023
Exoplanet atmospheres are a dynamic and fast-changing field at the frontier of modern astronomy. Telescope observations can reveal the chemical composition, temperature, cloud properties, and (potentially) the habitability of these remote worlds ...

A Test of the Dedalus Software for Exoplanet Atmospheric Dynamics

open access: yesResearch Notes of the AAS
Abstract Studying exoplanet flow and variability requires solving atmospheric dynamics equations accurately. Here we use the shallow-water equations to evaluate and employ Dedalus 3 , a spectral method-based software package for solving differential equations.

Atmospheric Seasonality as an Exoplanet Biosignature [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Letters, 2018
Current investigations of exoplanet biosignatures have focused on static evidence of life, such as the presence of biogenic gases like O2 or CH4.

Coupling the Atmospheric and Dynamical Evolution of Close-in Exoplanets

The vast majority of the detected exoplanets orbit in less than a month around their star, in extreme conditions unmet in the Solar System. The demographics of these close-in planets exhibit a striking feature: the lack of Neptune-size worlds on very short orbits, also dubbed the "Neptunian desert", which challenges our understanding of planetary ...

Understanding the Dynamics of the Cloud-Level Atmosphere on Venus and Venus Analog Exoplanets Using a Middle Atmosphere General Circulation Model

2021
Venus is comparable to the Earth in size and overall distance from the Sun, but is outside of a defined “habitable zone” in which water can exist in liquid form. The deep atmosphere of Venus provides a hostile environment for life. However, recent work suggests that the atmosphere at cloud altitudes, which includes regions with temperatures and ...

A coherent disentanglement of the fingerprints of physics, chemistry and dynamics of exoplanets on their atmospheric spectra

2019
Characterization of planetary atmospheres has been always a challenge. While the next generation of facilities, such as E-ELT, JWST, and ARIEL, will help to improve the status, the number of well-characterized exoplanet atmospheres will still be limited.

Atmospheric properties and dynamics of gaseous exoplanets inferred from high-resolution alkali line transmission spectroscopy

2021
The characterization of exoplanets applying high-resolution transmission spectroscopy ini- tiated a new era making it possible to trace atmospheric signature at high altitudes in exoplanet atmospheres and to determine atmospheric properties which enrich our under- standing of the formation and evolution of the solar system.
