The ORCA‐TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science Case and Commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 7, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. The experiment involves direct imaging with novel qCMOS image sensor technology that combines fast readout with sub‐electron readout noise.

The Not-so Dramatic Effect of Advective Flows on Gas Accretion

The Astrophysical Journal
Super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are the most common types of exoplanets discovered, yet the physics of their formation are still debated. Standard core accretion models in gas-rich environments find that typical mini-Neptune mass planets would blow up ...

Leveraging Multimodal Large Language Models to Analyse Student Exploration Behaviours in Educational Game Environments

Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Video data provides rich opportunities to examine student behaviour in game‐based learning environments, capturing not only observable actions but also subtle indicators of cognitive engagement. However, traditional video analysis is labor‐intensive, and current applications of AI to this task are limited by models trained on ...

Massive Rocky Planets May Suppress Deep Melting

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Melting properties of silicates are critical to understanding the thermal evolution of rocky planetary interiors. In the deep mantles of massive rocky planets, post‐post‐spinel Mg2SiO4 ${\text{Mg}}_{2}{\text{SiO}}_{4}$ is potentially one of the most abundant mineral phases, yet its melting behavior remains unconstrained. Here, we determine the

THE IMPACT OF NON-UNIFORM THERMAL STRUCTURE ON THE INTERPRETATION OF EXOPLANET EMISSION SPECTRA [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2016
ABSTRACT The determination of atmospheric structure and molecular abundances of planetary atmospheres via spectroscopy involves direct comparisons between models and data. While varying in sophistication, most model spectra comparisons fundamentally assume one-dimensional (1D) model physics.

A Theory for the Global Wind Energy Dissipation Across Climates

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 5, August 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric winds play a key role in shaping climate, ecosystems, and infrastructure. The energy that drives the winds is generated by the atmospheric heat engine. However, traditional entropy‐budget descriptions of this heat engine rely on poorly constrained microscale processes, limiting their predictive power.

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

Irradiated Atmospheres. IV. Effect of Mixing Heat Flux on Chemistry

The Astrophysical Journal
Vertical mixing disrupts the thermochemical equilibrium and introduces additional heat flux that alters exoplanetary atmospheric temperatures. We investigate how this mixing-induced heat flux affects atmospheric chemistry.
