Effects of Planetary Parameters on Disequilibrium Chemistry in Irradiated Planetary Atmospheres: From Gas Giants to Sub-Neptunes

The Astrophysical Journal
A primary goal of characterizing exoplanet atmospheres is to constrain planetary bulk properties, such as their metallicity, C/O ratio, and intrinsic heat.

Weakening Tropical West Pacific Ascent Strength Reduces East Pacific Low Clouds via Lower Free‐Tropospheric Moisture Convergence

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Low clouds (LC) are the largest source of uncertainty in the climate response to increased CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ in global climate models. This is due to the multitude of factors that affect their behavior and how these are characterized across models.

Direct Evidence of Photochemistry in an Exoplanet Atmosphere

, 2022
Photochemistry is a fundamental process of planetary atmospheres that is integral to habitability, atmospheric composition and stability, and aerosol formation. However, no unambiguous photochemical products have been detected in exoplanet atmospheres to

Thermoelastic Contraction as a Suppressor of Atmospheric Escape in Close-in Exoplanets

The Astrophysical Journal
The survival of volatile-rich atmospheres on close-in exoplanets challenges classical escape models. We identify a fully classical, interior-driven correction: thermoelastic contraction of the planetary mantle slightly increases the gravitational binding

Mercury's Eccentric Orbit as a Driver of Significant “Seasonal” Change in Upstream Solar Wind Forcing

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Mercury experiences the most intense and variable solar wind (SW) conditions in the solar system due to its close, eccentric orbit about the Sun. In addition to variation driven by coronal source and solar cycle, the SW arriving at Mercury varies periodically as the planet's heliocentric distance changes by over 50% per orbit.

Mapping the Cloud-driven Atmospheric Dynamics and Chemistry of an Isolated Exoplanet Analog with Harmonic Signatures

The Astronomical Journal
Abstract Young planetary-mass objects and brown dwarfs near the L–T spectral transition exhibit enhanced spectrophotometric variability over field brown dwarfs. Patchy clouds, auroral processes, stratospheric hot spots, and complex carbon chemistry have all been proposed as potential sources of this variability ...

A climatological analysis of high-precipitation events in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, and associated large-scale atmospheric conditions [PDF]

, 2014
The link between high precipitation in Dronning Maud Land (DML), Antarctica, and the large-scale atmospheric circulation is investigated using ERA-Interim data for 1979–2009. High-precipitation events are analyzed at Halvfarryggen situated in the coastal

Effects of Hot Oxygen Corona on Ion Escape From Venus‐Like Planets

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Due to the lack of a significant planetary magnetic field, the upper atmospheres of Venus‐like planets interact directly with the stellar wind. Therefore, thermal atomic oxygen in the thermosphere and hot oxygen in the corona produced by non‐thermal processes in the upper atmosphere act as a source of ion pickup loss.

Clouds and Hazes in GJ 1214 b’s Metal-rich Atmosphere

The Astronomical Journal
The sub-Neptune GJ 1214 b has an infamously flat transmission spectrum, likely due to thick aerosols in its atmosphere. A recent JWST/MIRI spectroscopic phase curve of GJ 1214 b added to this picture, suggesting a highly reflective and metal-rich ...
