Predicting Nitrogen Isotope Fractionation in Nitrate Deposition on Early Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Noachian and early Hesperian Mars were likely warm and wet, with an atmosphere abundant in molecular nitrogen. The recent discovery of nitrate deposits in the Yellowknife Bay mudstones at Gale Crater confirm the existence of nitrogen oxides (NOX) on Noachian Mars. The processes responsible for the production of these nitrates would fractionate

Spectral Image Models of Planetary Systems for Simulating Exoplanet Observations [PDF]

, 2015
Future missions to characterize exoplanets will require instruments tailored to finding a habitable exoplanet: suppressing the bright star while still directly observing planets at small angular separations.

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.

On the Detection of Low‐Frequency Planetary Radio Emission With an Orbiting Interferometer

Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The magnetized planets of the outer Solar System produce kilometric radio emissions at very low frequencies (<1 ${< } 1\,$MHz). They reveal the planetary magnetic dynamics and their interaction with the solar wind. Those radio emissions can also serve as a proxy for interplanetary space weather monitoring.

Advancing Heliophysics and Space Weather Modeling Through Open Science

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a community‐wide effort to develop a strategy and action plan to advance heliophysics and space weather modeling through open science. While open science has the potential to enhance the quality and pace of scientific discovery, its application to scientific modeling requires more careful consideration regarding open data and open ...

Characterisation of exoplanet atmospheres using high-resolution spectroscopy [PDF]

The characterisation of exoplanet atmospheres is crucial to understanding planet formation, the exploration of extreme atmospheric physics, finding habitable worlds, and searching for extraterrestrial life, but challenged by the overwhelming star-to ...

The ARCiS framework for exoplanet atmospheres: Modelling philosophy and retrieval [PDF]

, 2020
Aims. We present ARCiS, a novel code for the analysis of exoplanet transmission and emission spectra. The aim of the modelling framework is to provide a tool able to link observations to physical models of exoplanet atmospheres. Methods.

Distinguishing Oceans of Water from Magma on Mini-Neptune K2-18b

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Mildly irradiated mini-Neptunes have densities potentially consistent with them hosting substantial liquid-water oceans (“Hycean” planets). The presence of CO _2 and simultaneous absence of ammonia (NH _3 ) in their atmospheres has been proposed as a ...
