On the Detection of Low‐Frequency Planetary Radio Emission With an Orbiting Interferometer

Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The magnetized planets of the outer Solar System produce kilometric radio emissions at very low frequencies (<1 ${< } 1\,$MHz). They reveal the planetary magnetic dynamics and their interaction with the solar wind. Those radio emissions can also serve as a proxy for interplanetary space weather monitoring.

The Role of Planetary Rotation in Polar Cusp Localization

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Juno observations have revealed that Jupiter's polar cusps are displaced toward dusk and even the nightside, contradicting the Earth‐derived paradigm that is confined to narrower ranges near noon. These findings underscore the overlooked influence of planetary rotation on magnetospheric dynamics, exposing a critical gap in current theoretical ...

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

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 ...

Modeling the Seasonality of Wind‐Driven Hydrocarbon Waves in Titan's Polar Lakes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Titan, the only body in the solar system aside from Earth with standing liquids on its surface, has high‐latitude hydrocarbon lakes and seas. As Titan's atmosphere generates light winds, there should be waves on the surface of these lakes and seas, yet, direct wave observations are scant.

Bistability, Oscillations, and Multistability on Hycean Planets

The 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 ...

Volcanism at Piton de la Fournaise as an Analog for Chloris Mons, Venus

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Identifying and investigating terrestrial analogs for Venus volcanic activity is necessary to prepare for the planned upcoming missions to Venus. We propose volcanism at Piton de la Fournaise, a frequently active oceanic shield volcano, as an analog to volcanism at Chloris Mons, Venus.

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

The 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 ...

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 ...
