Modeling Wind‐Driven Waves on Other Planets: Applications to Mars, Titan, and Exoplanets

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Waves could exist on any planet with sustained winds and stable surface liquids. However, differences in atmospheres, liquids, and gravity confound efforts to extend Earth‐based empirical wave models to other planetary environments. We adapted a physics‐based numerical wave model to study how planetary conditions affect the growth of waves. We

Flow Regimes in Hot Jupiter Atmospheres: Insights from Anelastic Models

The Astrophysical Journal
Hot Jupiters are Jupiter-sized exoplanets with close-in orbits, characterized by extreme day–night temperature contrasts due to synchronous rotation.

The Bochum Survey of the Southern Galactic Disk: III. Complete Data Release

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Southern Galactic Disk Survey (GDS) monitored a mosaic of 268 fields along a 6°$$ {6}^{{}^{\circ}} $$‐wide stripe in the southern Galactic disk with simultaneous observations in r′$$ {r}^{\prime } $$ and i′$$ {i}^{\prime } $$ (7m≲r′,i′≲18m$$ {7}^{\mathrm{m}}\lesssim {r}^{\prime },{i}^{\prime}\lesssim {18}^{\mathrm{m}} $$) from September ...

Earth-like Exoplanets in Spin–Orbit Resonances: Climate Dynamics, 3D Atmospheric Chemistry, and Observational Signatures

The Planetary Science Journal
Abstract Terrestrial exoplanets around M- and K-type stars are important targets for atmospheric characterization. Such planets are likely tidally locked with the order of spin–orbit resonances (SORs) depending on eccentricity. We explore the impact of SORs on 3D atmospheric dynamics and chemistry, employing a 3D coupled climate ...

Hydrogen Airglow from an Escaping Ultrahot Jupiter Atmosphere

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Intense high-energy irradiation of close-in gaseous exoplanets drives the rapid escape of their atmospheres, fundamentally shaping planetary demographics. While atmospheric loss is routinely observed via transit absorption in atomic hydrogen, helium, and

The Spin Zone: Synchronously and Asynchronously Rotating Land Planets Have Spectral Differences in Transmission

The Planetary Science Journal
New observational facilities are beginning to enable insights into the three-dimensional (3D) nature of exoplanets. Transmission spectroscopy is the most widely used method for characterizing transiting temperate exoplanet atmospheres, but because it ...

Ab Initio Quantum Dynamics as a Scalable Solution to the Exoplanet Opacity Challenge: A Case Study of CO₂ in a Hydrogen Atmosphere

The Astrophysical Journal
Abstract Light–matter interactions lie at the heart of our exploration of exoplanetary atmospheres. Interpreting data obtained by remote sensing is enabled by meticulous, time- and resource-consuming work aiming at deepening our understanding of such interactions (i.e., opacity models). Recently, P. Niraula et al.

A Direct Comparison between the Use of Double Gray and Multiwavelength Radiative Transfer in a General Circulation Model with and without Radiatively Active Clouds

The Astrophysical Journal
Inhomogeneous cloud formation and wavelength-dependent phenomena are expected to shape hot Jupiter atmospheres. We present a general circulation model with multiwavelength “picket fence” radiative transfer and radiatively active, temperature-dependent ...

A Comprehensive Analysis of Spitzer 4.5 μm Phase Curves of Hot Jupiters

The Astronomical Journal
Although exoplanetary science was not initially projected to be a substantial part of the Spitzer mission, its exoplanet observations set the stage for current and future surveys with JWST and Ariel.

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

Monthly 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 ...
