The Importance of Optical Wavelength Data on Atmospheric Retrievals of Exoplanet Transmission Spectra [PDF]
Exoplanet transmission spectra provide rich information about the chemical composition, clouds, and temperature structure of exoplanet atmospheres. Most exoplanet transmission spectra only span infrared wavelengths (≳1 μ m), which can preclude crucial ...

Using dimers to measure biosignatures and atmospheric pressure for terrestrial exoplanets [PDF]
We present a new method to probe atmospheric pressure on Earth-like planets using (O-O) dimers in the near-infrared. We also show that dimer features could be the most readily detectable biosignatures for Earth-like atmospheres and may even be detectable

Bayesian Deep Learning for Exoplanet Atmospheric Retrieval [PDF]
Over the past decade, the study of extrasolar planets has evolved rapidly from plain detection and identification to comprehensive categorization and characterization of exoplanet systems and their atmospheres. Atmospheric retrieval, the inverse modeling

Rocky Planet or Water World? Observability of Low-density Lava World Atmospheres
Super-Earths span a wide range of bulk densities, indicating a diversity in interior conditions beyond that seen in the solar system. In particular, an emerging population of low-density super-Earths may be explained by volatile-rich interiors.
