Far-ultraviolet Flares and Variability of the Young M Dwarf AU Mic: A Nondetection of Planet C in Transit at Lyα

The Astronomical Journal
Atmospheric escape’s potential to shape the exoplanet population motivates detailed observations of systems actively undergoing escape. AU Mic is a young and active M dwarf hosting two close-in transiting sub- to Neptune-sized planets. Atmospheric escape

Evolution of a Water-rich Atmosphere Formed by a Giant Impact on an Earth-sized Planet

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The atmosphere of a terrestrial planet that is replenished with secondary gases should have accumulated hydrogen-rich gas from its protoplanetary disk.

The Complexity of Deep Aqueous Fluids in Planetary Ultramafic Mantles

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Planetary volatiles cycle through a planet's crust, mantle, and atmosphere, playing a crucial role in surface processes and habitability. Discussions of planetary volatiles traditionally focus on water, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur, but fluids in contact with silicate rocks and ultramafic mantles can contain significant amounts of magnesium ...

A Unified Treatment of Kepler Occurrence to Trace Planet Evolution. II. The Radius Cliff Formed by Atmospheric Escape

The Astronomical Journal
The Kepler mission enabled us to look at the intrinsic population of exoplanets within our galaxy. In period-radius space, the distribution of the intrinsic population of planets contains structure that can trace planet formation and evolution history ...

Interactions of Sublimated Frost With Volcanic Plumes: Modeling Io's SO2 Atmosphere Using the DSMC Method

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Io's tenuous atmosphere consists primarily of sulfur dioxide (SO2 ${\text{SO}}_{2}$) with observed column densities of approximately 1016−1017 $1{0}^{16}-1{0}^{17}$ cm−2 ${\text{cm}}^{-2}$. However, it remains uncertain whether the sublimation of SO2 ${\text{SO}}_{2}$ surface frost or volcanic outgassing is the primary source of the SO2 ...

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.

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

Out There No One Has a Right to Die

Bioethics, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 565-572, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The eventual goal of space exploration is to colonize exoplanets and their moons outside our solar system. This is a dangerous and immoral endeavour. The extraterrestrial life forms encountered would be hostile, vulnerable or both, and the descendants of the original pioneers would be involuntarily exposed to hazardous conditions and ...
