The Structure of Exoplanets

, 2013
The hundreds of exoplanets that have been discovered in the past two decades offer a new perspective on planetary structure. Instead of being the archetypal examples of planets, those of our Solar System are merely possible outcomes of planetary system ...

Ancient Mars Climate With a Polar Ocean and Ice Sheet Dynamics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract In this article, we study the conditions required to maintain a stable ocean on Mars 3 Ga using a new suite of simulations. These simulations couple a 3D Global Climate Model with ocean dynamics and ice sheet flow. The model includes the main processes of the atmosphere/hydrosphere/cryosphere to investigate Mars' ancient climate.

A High-resolution Non-detection of Escaping Helium in the Ultrahot Neptune LTT 9779b: Evidence for Weakened Evaporation

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The recent discovery of “ultrahot” ( P < 1 day) Neptunes has come as a surprise: some of these planets have managed to retain gaseous envelopes despite being close enough to their host stars to trigger strong photoevaporation and/or Roche lobe overflow ...

Exoplanets: Possible Biosignatures

, 2017
The ancestor philosophers' dream of thousands of new worlds is finally realised: about 3500 extrasolar planets have been discovered in the neighborhood of our Sun. Most of them are very different from those we used to know in our Solar System.

Electrical Resistivity of Liquid Fe‐16S‐2Si up to 13 GPa With Implications for the Adiabatic Heat Flux Through the Core of Exoplanet TRAPPIST‐1h

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Thermal convective processes in the liquid cores of terrestrial planetary bodies with the capacity to generate magnetic dynamos may be better characterized by thermal conductivity estimates of core conditions. The composition of the core of asteroid 4 Vesta as determined by geochemical studies of HED meteorites is used as an analog for the ...

Metal-enriched Atmospheres in Warm (Super- and Sub-) Neptunes Induced by Extreme Atmospheric Escape

The Astrophysical Journal
Planet formation impacts exoplanet atmospheres by accreting metals in solid form, leading to atmospheric carbon-to-oxygen ratios (C/O) and sulfur-to-nitrogen ratios (S/N) that deviate from those of their host stars. Recent observations indicate differing

TOI-1075 b: A Dense, Massive, Ultra-short-period Hot Super-Earth Straddling the Radius Gap

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Populating the exoplanet mass–radius diagram in order to identify the underlying relationship that governs planet composition is driving an interdisciplinary effort within the exoplanet community.

Transiting Exoplanets with JWST

, 2008
The era of exoplanet characterization is upon us. For a subset of exoplanets -- the transiting planets -- physical properties can be measured, including mass, radius, and atmosphere characteristics.

Re‐Analysis of Pioneer Venus Data: Water, Iron Sulfate, and Sulfuric Acid are Major Components in Venus' Aerosols

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract We present a new and transformative composition for Venus' cloud aerosols using previously uncharacterized data acquired by the Pioneer Venus Large Probe, which descended through Venus' atmosphere in 1978. This aerosol composition was extracted by re‐analyzing data acquired by the Large Probe Neutral Mass Spectrometer (LNMS) and re‐evaluating ...

The “Analogs for VENus' GEologically Recent Surfaces” (AVENGERS) Initiative: Using Terrestrial Analogs to Study Recent Volcano‐Tectonic Activity on Venus and Inform the Characterization of Terrestrial Exoplanets

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Several missions to Venus have recently been selected for launch, opening a new era for the exploration of the planet. A key question these missions seek to address is whether Venus is geologically active today. Detecting active volcanism on Venus would contribute to a better understanding of volcanic and atmospheric processes on Earth.
