Direct Evidence of Photochemistry in an Exoplanet Atmosphere

, 2022
Photochemistry is a fundamental process of planetary atmospheres that is integral to habitability, atmospheric composition and stability, and aerosol formation. However, no unambiguous photochemical products have been detected in exoplanet atmospheres to

Vertical structure of an exoplanet’s atmospheric jet stream

Nature
Ultra-hot Jupiters, an extreme class of planets not found in our solar system, provide a unique window into atmospheric processes. The extreme temperature contrasts between their day- and night-sides pose a fundamental climate puzzle: how is energy distributed?

The Role of Formation Location in Shaping Sulfur-, Nitrogen-, and Carbon-bearing Species in Super-Earth and Sub-Neptune Atmospheres

The Astrophysical Journal
Atmospheric compositions of sub-Neptunes and super-Earths are often interpreted as tracers of formation location relative to volatile ice lines. However, prolonged magma oceans can chemically equilibrate with primordial atmospheres and modify accreted ...

On Our Cosmic (In)significance

Ratio, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article discusses three interpretations of cosmic significance, all of which reveal something important about the notion of significance. Along the way, it proposes a unified view of significance by combining elements of each of the views.

Atmospheric C/O Ratios of Sub-Neptunes with Magma Oceans: Homemade rather than Inherited

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recently, the James Webb Space Telescope has enabled detailed spectroscopic characterization of sub-Neptune atmospheres. With detections of carbon- and oxygen-bearing species such as CO, CO _2 , CH _4 , and H _2 O, a central question is whether the ...

HARPS-N @ TNG, two year harvesting data : performances and results [PDF]

, 2014
The planet hunter HARPS-N[1], in operation at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG)[13] from April 2012 is a highresolution spectrograph designed to achieve a very high radial velocity precision measurement thanks to an ultra stable environment and in a

Sub-Neptunes Are Drier than They Seem: Rethinking the Origins of Water-rich Worlds

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recent claims of biosignature gases in sub-Neptune atmospheres have renewed interest in water-rich sub-Neptunes with surface oceans, often referred to as Hycean planets. These planets are hypothesized to form beyond the snow line, accreting large amounts

The Effects of Non-ideal Mixing in Planetary Magma Oceans and Atmospheres

The Astrophysical Journal
Sub-Neptunes with hydrogen-rich envelopes are expected to sustain long-lived magma oceans that continuously exchange volatiles with their overlying atmospheres.

Soot Planets Instead of Water Worlds

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Some low-density exoplanets are thought to be water-rich worlds that formed beyond the snow line of their protoplanetary disk, possibly accreting coequal portions of rock and water.
