Altitude Profile and Isotopic Composition for N2 From Pioneer Venus Mass Spectra

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 23, 16 December 2025.
Abstract We report the highest resolution altitude profile and isotopic composition for N2 at Venus, to date. These results were obtained through re‐analysis of data acquired by the Pioneer Venus Large Probe Neutral Mass Spectrometer (LNMS). The N2 is non‐uniformly mixed across the clouds and sub‐cloud atmosphere (∼59–15 km) yet uniformly mixed across ...

Three-dimensional Orbital Architectures and Detectability of Adjacent Companions to Hot Jupiters

The Astrophysical Journal
The orbital properties of the (as yet) small population of hot Jupiters with nearby planetary companions provide valuable constraints on the past migration processes of these systems.

Satellites and Small Bodies With ALMA: Insights Into Solar System Formation and Evolution

AGU Advances, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems has made major advances in the past decade. This progress has been driven in large part by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which has given us an unprecedented view of solar system bodies themselves, and of the structure and chemistry of forming ...

A Tale of Dynamical Instabilities and Giant Impacts in the Exoplanet Radius Valley

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The size distribution of planets with radii between 1 R _⊕ and 4 R _⊕ peaks near 1.4 R _⊕ and 2.2 R _⊕ , with a dip around 1.8 R _⊕ —the so-called “radius valley.” Recent statistical analyses suggest that planets within this valley (1.5

The Power of a Name: Toward a Unified Approach to Naming Space Weather Events

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Our increasing reliance on technology vulnerable to space weather effects underscores the urgent need for effective public communication about these phenomena. While scientific research thrives on precise technical language, broader public engagement necessitates a more accessible and memorable approach.

Cloud formation in exoplanet atmospheres : nucleation of small molecular clusters

, 2023
It has been inferred that many exoplanets host clouds in their atmospheres. Understanding the processes through which these clouds form, and being able to model them is essential for our understanding of their climate and to explain our observations.

Searching for Exosatellites Orbiting L and T Dwarfs: Connecting Planet Formation to Moon Formation and Finding New Temperate Worlds [PDF]

, 2019
L-type and T-type dwarfs span the boundaries between main-sequence stars, brown dwarfs, and planetary-mass objects. For these reasons, L and T dwarfs are the perfect laboratories for exploring the relationship between planet formation and moon formation,

Community Voices on the Future of Radiation Belt Research: A Summary of the 2024 GEM Radiation Belt Focus Group Round‐Table Discussion

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Earth's radiation belts are the regions where highly energetic charged particles are trapped by Earth's magnetic field, posing significant risks to the satellites and other space‐based technologies. Understanding the dynamics of the radiation belts is critical not only for advancing fundamental plasma physics but also for predicting and ...

Signs of Similar Stellar Obliquity Distributions for Hot and Warm Jupiters Orbiting Cool Stars

The Astronomical Journal
Transiting giant planets provide a natural opportunity to examine stellar obliquities, which offer clues about the origin and dynamical histories of close-in planets.
