Hot Spot Offset Variability from Magnetohydrodynamical Thermoresistive Instability in Hot Jupiters

The Astrophysical Journal
Hot Jupiter (HJ) atmospheres are possibly subject to a thermoresistive instability (TRI). Such an instability may develop as the ohmic heating increases the electrical conductivity in a positive feedback loop, which ultimately leads to a runaway of the ...

Bridging Clarity and Accuracy: A Simple Spectral Longwave Radiation Scheme for Idealized Climate Modeling

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Parameterizing radiative transfer in climate models means navigating trade‐offs between physical accuracy and conceptual clarity. However, currently available schemes sit at the extremes of this spectrum: correlated‐k schemes are fast and accurate but rely on lookup tables which obscure the underlying physics and make such schemes difficult to

On the Stability of Super-Earth Atmospheres

, 2012
We investigate the stability of super Earth atmospheres around M stars using a 7-parameter, analytical framework. We construct stability diagrams in the parameter space of exoplanetary radius versus semi-major axis and elucidate the regions in which the ...

Sustainable Water Systems in Space: A Review of Current Technologies and Future Prospects

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Sustainable water management is a critical challenge in space exploration, where the limited availability of resources requires innovative approaches to ensure astronauts' survival on long‐duration missions. This narrative review explores the key technologies and methods involved in water recycling, in situ resource utilization (ISRU), and ...

State‐Dependence of Polar Amplification in an Idealized GCM

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Polar amplification (PA) is a robust feature of contemporary climate change, but its state‐dependence across different climate conditions is poorly understood despite potential relevance to paleoclimate records and future projections. Here we examine the state‐dependence of PA across a wide range of climate states in an idealized moist general

A Panchromatic Characterization of the Evening and Morning Atmosphere of WASP-107 b: Composition and Cloud Variations, and Insight into the Effect of Stellar Contamination

The Astronomical Journal
Limb-resolved transmission spectroscopy has the potential to transform our understanding of exoplanetary atmospheres. By separately measuring the transmission spectra of the evening and morning limbs, these atmospheric regions can be individually ...

An investigation of a super-Earth exoplanet with a greenhouse-gas atmosphere using a general circulation model

, 2012
We use the Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model (GCM) dynamical core, in conjunction with a Newtonian relaxation scheme that relaxes to a gray, analytical solution of the radiative transfer equation, to simulate a tidally ...
