An Observational Diagnostic for Distinguishing between Clouds and Haze in Hot Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]
, 2017 The nature of aerosols in hot exoplanet atmospheres is one of the primary vexing questions facing the exoplanet field. The complex chemistry, multiple formation pathways, and lack of easily identifiable spectral features associated with aerosols make it ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Several missions to Venus have recently been selected for launch, opening a new era for the exploration of the planet. A key question these missions seek to address is whether Venus is geologically active today. Detecting active volcanism on Venus would contribute to a better understanding of volcanic and atmospheric processes on Earth.

A Comprehensive Framework for Assessing Terrestrial Analogue Field Sites for Ocean Worlds
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Field studies at terrestrial analogue sites represent an important contribution to the science of ocean worlds. The value of the science and technology investigations conducted at field analogue sites depends on the relevance of the analogue environment to the target ocean world.

From Tape Reels to Global Access: A History and Future Vision of NASA's Scientific Data Management
Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Since its creation in the late 1950s, NASA has collected space science data and information that span astrophysics, Earth science, planetary science, heliophysics, and biological and physical sciences. While these data were critical to NASA's objective of expanding human knowledge of space, the early days of scientific data and information ...
