The Astrophysical JournalAbstract Interpretation of the ongoing efforts to simulate the atmospheres of potentially habitable terrestrial exoplanets requires that we understand the underlying dynamics and chemistry of such objects to a much greater degree than 1D or even simple 3D models enable.

The Astrophysical JournalConvective processes are crucial in shaping exoplanetary atmospheres but are computationally expensive to simulate directly. A novel technique of simulating moist convection on tidally locked exoplanets is to use a global 3D model with a stretched mesh ...

The MgI line: a new probe of the atmospheres of evaporating exoplanets
, 2014 Transit observations of HD209458b in the UV revealed signatures of neutral magnesium escaping the planet's upper atmosphere. The absorption detected in the MgI line provides unprecedented information on the physical conditions at the altitude where the ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Xenon (Xe) is a heavy noble gas with intriguing chemical properties, such as having several stable isotopes and the ability to form compounds under extreme conditions. Despite the predictions based on cosmochemical models that suggest xenon should be relatively abundant in planetary reservoirs, empirical data indicate a significant depletion ...

The Response of Planetary Atmospheres to the Impact of Icy Comets. II. Exo-Earth Analogs
The Astrophysical JournalThe orbital regime of a terrestrial planet plays a significant role in shaping its atmospheric dynamics, climate, and hence potential habitability. The orbit is also likely to play a role in shaping the response of a planetary atmosphere to the influx of

Observations of Exoplanet Atmospheres
, 2015 Detailed characterization of an extrasolar planet's atmosphere provides the best hope for distinguishing the makeup of its outer layers, and the only hope for understanding the interplay between initial composition, chemistry, dynamics & circulation, and

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

Bridging the Atmospheric Circulations of Hot and Warm Giant Exoplanets
The Astrophysical JournalWe perform high-resolution atmospheric flow simulations of hot and warm giant exoplanets that are tidally locked. The modeled atmospheres are representative of those on KELT-11 b and WASP-39 b, which possess markedly different equilibrium temperatures ...

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 ...

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 ...
