Most Super-Earths Have Less Than 3% Water

The Astrophysical Journal
Super-Earths are highly irradiated, small planets with bulk densities approximately consistent with Earth. We construct combined interior atmosphere models of super-Earths that trace the partitioning of water throughout a planet, including an iron-rich ...

The “Analogs for VENus' GEologically Recent Surfaces” (AVENGERS) Initiative: Using Terrestrial Analogs to Study Recent Volcano‐Tectonic Activity on Venus and Inform the Characterization of Terrestrial Exoplanets

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.

EUCLID : Dark Universe Probe and Microlensing planet Hunter

, 2010
There is a remarkable synergy between requirements for Dark Energy probes by cosmic shear measurements and planet hunting by microlensing. Employing weak and strong gravitational lensing to trace and detect the distribution of matter on cosmic and ...

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 ...

Early Accretion of Large Amounts of Solids for Directly Imaged Exoplanets

The Astrophysical Journal
As the number of planetary-mass objects (PMOs; ⪅13 M _Jupiter ) at wider separation (⪆10 au) grows, there is emerging evidence that they form differently from their higher-mass brown dwarf counterparts.

Dependence of Planet Populations on Stellar Mass and Metallicity: A Pebble-accretion-based Planet Population Synthesis Model

The Astrophysical Journal
The formation and evolution of planetary systems are linked to their host stellar environment. In this study, we employ a pebble-accretion-based planet population synthesis model to explore the correlation between planetary properties and stellar mass ...
