Bridging Clarity and Accuracy: A Simple Spectral Longwave Radiation Scheme for Idealized Climate Modeling

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Parameterizing radiative transfer in climate models means navigating trade‐offs between physical accuracy and conceptual clarity. However, currently available schemes sit at the extremes of this spectrum: correlated‐k schemes are fast and accurate but rely on lookup tables which obscure the underlying physics and make such schemes difficult to

Tidal synchronization of close-in satellites and exoplanets: II. Spin dynamics and extension to Mercury and exoplanet host stars [PDF]

Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 2015
This paper deals with the application of the creep tide theory (Ferraz-Mello, CeMDA 116, 109, 2013) to the rotation of close-in satellites, Mercury, close-in exoplanets and their host stars. The solutions show two extreme cases: close-in giant gaseous planets, with fast relaxation (low viscosity) and satellites and Earth-like planets, with slow ...

Sustainable Water Systems in Space: A Review of Current Technologies and Future Prospects

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Sustainable water management is a critical challenge in space exploration, where the limited availability of resources requires innovative approaches to ensure astronauts' survival on long‐duration missions. This narrative review explores the key technologies and methods involved in water recycling, in situ resource utilization (ISRU), and ...

A Dynamic Scheme to Assess Habitability of Exoplanets

, 2012
In the next few years, the number of catalogued exoplanets will be counted in the thousands and with it the need will arise to prioritize them in regard to habitability and the potential presence of life. Here, we suggest a first attempt of a dynamic scheme for classification based on our current understanding of parameters that are consistent and ...

Detectors and cooling technology for direct spectroscopic biosignature characterization

, 2016
Direct spectroscopic biosignature characterization (hereafter "biosignature characterization") will be a major focus for future space observatories equipped with coronagraphs or starshades.

Breaking Giant Chains: Early-stage Instabilities in Long-period Giant Planet Systems

The Astrophysical Journal
Orbital evolution is a critical process that sculpts planetary systems, particularly during their early stages where planet–disk interactions are expected to lead to the formation of resonant chains.

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 ...

State‐Dependence of Polar Amplification in an Idealized GCM

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Polar amplification (PA) is a robust feature of contemporary climate change, but its state‐dependence across different climate conditions is poorly understood despite potential relevance to paleoclimate records and future projections. Here we examine the state‐dependence of PA across a wide range of climate states in an idealized moist general

The Prevalence of Resonance Among Young, Close-in Planets

The Astronomical Journal
Multiple planets undergoing disk migration may be captured into a chain of mean-motion resonances with the innermost planet parked near the disk’s inner edge.
