Radiation Transport Through the Martian Atmosphere as a Function of the Zenith Angle

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The topographic influence of the radiation environment on the Martian surface radiation is crucial for future human exploration. Topographic maps help assess radiation flux variations, aiding in hazard evaluation. Creating a global radiation map requires accounting for seasonally varying atmospheric density, heliospheric modulation, and ...

A Metal-poor Atmosphere with a Hot Interior for a Young Sub-Neptune Progenitor: JWST/NIRSpec Transmission Spectrum of V1298 Tau b

The Astronomical Journal
We present the JWST/NIRSpec G395H transmission spectrum of the young (10–30 Myr) transiting planet V1298 Tau b (9.85 ± 0.35 R _⊕ , T _eq  = 670 K). Combined Hubble Space Telescope and JWST observations reveal a haze-free, H/He-dominated atmosphere with a

Extremely Irradiated Hot Jupiters: Non-Oxide Inversions, H- Opacity, and Thermal Dissociation of Molecules

, 2018
Extremely irradiated hot Jupiters, exoplanets reaching dayside temperatures ${>}$2000 K, stretch our understanding of planetary atmospheres and the models we use to interpret observations.

Evolution of Terrestrial Planetary Bodies and Implications for Habitability

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract The terrestrial planetary bodies of our solar system—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—share a common origin through nebular accretion and early magma ocean differentiation, yet they diverged significantly in geological evolution, tectonic regimes, and habitability.

Climate Emergency and Different Ways to Fail? The Fermi Paradox, the Simulation Hypothesis, Agency and Hope

Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, Volume 55, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Humanity seems stuck on different ways to fail to meet the challenge posed by a declared climate emergency and manifest problems of ecological breakdown. Rather than reprise these failures, we use the Fermi Paradox and simulation hypothesis to make a simple point about agency. The argument unfolds in two sections.

Seasonal Changes in the Atmosphere of HD 80606 b Observed with JWST’s NIRSpec/G395H

The Astronomical Journal
High-eccentricity gas giant planets serve as unique laboratories for studying the thermal and chemical properties of H/He-dominated atmospheres. One of the most extreme cases is HD 80606 b—a hot Jupiter orbiting a Sun-like star with an eccentricity of 0 ...

Neuromorphic Computing with Memcapacitors: Advancements, Challenges, and Future Directions

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 11, Issue 18, November 4, 2025.
Neuromorphic computing reduces energy costs by integrating memory and processing in event‐driven architectures, achieving energy usage as low as 10–30 pJ per operation for memcapacitor‐based synapses. Memcapacitors are reviewed as strong contenders for neuromorphic computing, enhancing AI acceleration through charge‐based computations, high resistance,

An investigation of a super-Earth exoplanet with a greenhouse-gas atmosphere using a general circulation model

, 2012
We use the Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model (GCM) dynamical core, in conjunction with a Newtonian relaxation scheme that relaxes to a gray, analytical solution of the radiative transfer equation, to simulate a tidally ...

Mercury's Altered Magnetosphere During a Sub‐Alfvénic ICME Event: MESSENGER Observations and Inferred Asymmetric Alfvén Wing Formation From Global MHD Simulations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract We present observations of a rare configuration of Mercury's magnetosphere in response to sub‐Alfvénic upstream conditions, driven by an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) that impacted the planet on 1 May 2013. Using data from the Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft, supported by a ...

JWST-TST DREAMS: Nonuniform Dayside Emission for WASP-17b from MIRI/LRS

The Astronomical Journal
We present the first spectroscopic characterization of the dayside atmosphere of WASP-17b in the mid-infrared using a single JWST MIRI/LRS eclipse observation.
