Magma Ocean Evolution at Arbitrary Redox State
Abstract Interactions between magma oceans and overlying atmospheres on young rocky planets leads to an evolving feedback of outgassing, greenhouse forcing, and mantle melt fraction. Previous studies have predominantly focused on the solidification of oxidized Earth‐similar planets, but the diversity in mean density and irradiation observed in the low ...

Direct Evidence of Photochemistry in an Exoplanet Atmosphere
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

The 0.5MJ transiting exoplanet WASP-13b [PDF]
We report the discovery of WASP-13b, a low-mass $ M_{\rm p} = 0.46 ^_~M_J$ transiting exoplanet with an orbital period of 4.35298 $\pm$ 0.00004 days. The transit has a depth of 9 mmag, and although our follow-up photometry does not allow us to constrain ...

Tides Tighten the Hycean Habitable Zone
Hycean planets—exoplanets with substantial water ice layers, deep surface oceans, and hydrogen-rich atmospheres—are thought to be favorable environments for life. Due to a relative paucity of atmospheric greenhouse gases, hycean planets have been thought

Abstract This paper introduces the new Venus global ionosphere‐thermosphere model (V‐GITM) which incorporates the terrestrial GITM framework with Venus‐specific parameters, ion‐neutral chemistry, and radiative processes in order to simulate some of the observable features regarding the temperatures, composition, and dynamical structure of the Venus ...

Main-sequence exoplanet systems: tidal evolution [PDF]
The easiest exoplanets to detect are those that orbit very close to their hoststars. As a result, even though these planets are quite rare, they represent amajor fraction of the current exoplanet population.

Wide-Orbit Exoplanet Demographics [PDF]
Astro2020 Science White paper 2019International audienceThe Kepler, K2 and TESS transit surveys are revolutionizing our understanding of planets orbiting close to their host stars and our understanding of exoplanet systems in general, but there remains a

Geodynamics and Earth Tides Observations from Global to Micro Scale: Introduction
The volume collects papers submitted to Pure and Applied Geophysics following a call on the topic “Geodynamics and Earth Tides”. Partly, the authors had participated in the 18th Geodynamics and Earth Tides Symposium held in Trieste, Italy, in June 2016 ...

Tidal Evolution of Packed Moon Systems around an Earth-mass Planet
While missions have long targeted terrestrial exoplanets within the habitable zone of their host stars, the number of exomoon candidates is expected to grow as next generation space-based observatories achieve the photometric sensitivity required to ...
