The Impact of the Sulfur Allotropes and Sulfur Hydrides on the Venus Cloud Chemistry

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Venus is home to vivid sulfur chemistry, with SO2 ${\text{SO}}_{2}$ as the major sulfur gas species and a global cloud layer between 47 and 70 km composed of H2SO4 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}{\text{SO}}_{4}$ and H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$O. The chemistry in the clouds has been extensively studied with 1D models, but none is able to reproduce the three orders

Helium Escape in Context: Comparative Signatures of Four Close-in Exoplanets

The Astrophysical Journal
Observations of escaping atmospheres on close-in exoplanets show a wide range in the strength and morphology of He I 10830 Å and H I absorption. Scaling relations attempt to link the He I signal to X-ray and UV irradiation, mass loss, and bulk planetary ...

Titan solar occultation observations reveal transit spectra of a hazy world

, 2014
High altitude clouds and hazes are integral to understanding exoplanet observations, and are proposed to explain observed featureless transit spectra. However, it is difficult to make inferences from these data because of the need to disentangle effects ...

Impacts of Carbon Dioxide Deposition on Martian Near‐Surface Wave Activity

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract A prominent feature of Mars' winter atmosphere is near‐surface baroclinic wave activity. These waves exert strong control on dust storm variability and contribute to transport of heat, momentum, and dust. Using a suite of Mars general circulation model simulations, we investigate an underexplored connection between near‐surface wave activity ...

A Panchromatic Characterization of the Evening and Morning Atmosphere of WASP-107 b: Composition and Cloud Variations, and Insight into the Effect of Stellar Contamination

The Astronomical Journal
Limb-resolved transmission spectroscopy has the potential to transform our understanding of exoplanetary atmospheres. By separately measuring the transmission spectra of the evening and morning limbs, these atmospheric regions can be individually ...

Towards consistent mapping of distant worlds: secondary-eclipse scanning of the exoplanet HD189733b

, 2012
Mapping distant worlds is the next frontier for exoplanet infrared photometry studies. Ultimately, constraining spatial and temporal properties of an exoplanet atmosphere will provide further insight into its physics. For tidally-locked hot Jupiters that

Deciphering the “Missing Xenon Paradox” in Celestial Bodies: A Multifaceted Perspective Toward Demystifying This Enigma

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 ...

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

Infrared Observations During the Secondary Eclipse of HD 209458b: I. 3.6-Micron Occultation Spectroscopy Using the VLT [PDF]

, 2002
We search for an infrared signature of the transiting extrasolar planet HD 209458b during secondary eclipse. Our method, which we call `occultation spectroscopy,' searches for the disappearance and reappearance of weak spectral features due to the ...
