Structure elucidation of the water-soluble organic carbon fraction in atmospheric aerosols by mass spectrometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Atmospheric aerosols can act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and scatter or absorb light thus influencing many important processes in the atmosphere.

Bistability, Oscillations, and Multistability on Hycean Planets

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Hycean planets are hypothetical exoplanets characterized by H _2 O oceans and H _2 -rich atmospheres. These planets are high-priority targets for biosignature searches, as they combine abundant surface liquid water with easy-to-characterize H _2 -rich ...

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

open access: yesThe 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 ...

The Radius Cliff is a Waterfall: Explaining Sub-Neptune Exoplanets with Steam Worlds

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The demographics of Kepler planets provide a key testbed for models of planet formation and evolution, particularly for explaining the radius valley separating super-Earths and sub-Neptunes.

Irradiated Atmospheres. IV. Effect of Mixing Heat Flux on Chemistry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Vertical mixing disrupts the thermochemical equilibrium and introduces additional heat flux that alters exoplanetary atmospheric temperatures. We investigate how this mixing-induced heat flux affects atmospheric chemistry.

Exoplanet atmospheres: A theoretical outlook

open access: yes, 2010
With over two dozen exoplanet atmospheres observed today, the field of exoplanet atmospheres is solidly established. The highlights of exoplanet atmosphere studies include: detection of molecular spectral features; constraints on atmospheric vertical ...
