Mind and Cosmos as Throughput Systems: A Convergence Through the Throughput Model
ABSTRACT This paper advances a conceptual and mathematical foundations approach by applying the throughput model (TPM) to cosmic phenomena, reframing the universe as an extended information processing system. TPM's four stages, Perception, Information, Judgement and Decision Choice, are reformulated in explicit information‐theoretic and dynamical ...

TOI-1695 b: A Water World Orbiting an Early-M Dwarf in the Planet Radius Valley
Characterizing the bulk compositions of transiting exoplanets within the M dwarf radius valley offers a unique means to establish whether the radius valley emerges from an atmospheric mass-loss process or is imprinted by planet formation itself.

The Impact of the Sulfur Allotropes and Sulfur Hydrides on the Venus Cloud Chemistry
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

Investigating the Origins of Hot Neptunes from Radial Velocity Data
Hot Neptunes are extrasolar planets that are similar in size to Neptune in our solar system but are much closer to their host stars, completing an orbit in 10 days or less. The origin of hot Neptunes is not fully understood.

Boundary Layers of Circumplanetary Disks around Spinning Planets. I. Effects of Rossby Waves
Gas giant planets are believed to accrete from their circumplanetary disks (CPDs). The CPDs usually involve accretion through the boundary layer (BL) in the vicinity of planets. Prior studies have concentrated on the BL of nonspinning planets.

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

Formation of Close-in Neptunes around Low-mass Stars through Breaking Resonant Chains
Conventional planet formation theories predict a paucity of massive planets around small stars, especially very low-mass (0.1−0.3 M _⊙ ) mid-to-late M dwarfs. Such tiny stars are expected to form planets of terrestrial sizes but not much bigger. However,

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

Exoplanets and Their Characterization in the Environment of Galaxy Formation
The exploration of exoplanets has emerged as a pivotal area of research in astrophysics, particularly in understanding their formation and evolution within the context of galaxy formation. This paper presents a comprehensive review of current methodologies for exoplanet detection and characterization, emphasizing the interplay between galactic dynamics

Impacts of Carbon Dioxide Deposition on Martian Near‐Surface Wave Activity
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 ...
