Compositional Diversity of Rocky Exoplanets
, 2021 To test whether exoplanets are similar to Earth, knowledge of their host star composition is essential. Stellar elemental abundances and planetary orbital data show that of the ~5,000 known minerals, exoplanetary silicate mantles contain mostly olivine ...

Modeling the Seasonality of Wind‐Driven Hydrocarbon Waves in Titan's Polar Lakes
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Titan, the only body in the solar system aside from Earth with standing liquids on its surface, has high‐latitude hydrocarbon lakes and seas. As Titan's atmosphere generates light winds, there should be waves on the surface of these lakes and seas, yet, direct wave observations are scant.

Implications of Tides for Life on Exoplanets [PDF]
Astrobiology, 2018 As evident from the nearby examples of Proxima Centauri and TRAPPIST-1, Earth-sized planets in the habitable zone of low-mass stars are common. Here, we focus on such planetary systems and argue that their (oceanic) tides could be more prominent due to stronger tidal forces.

Volcanism at Piton de la Fournaise as an Analog for Chloris Mons, Venus
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Identifying and investigating terrestrial analogs for Venus volcanic activity is necessary to prepare for the planned upcoming missions to Venus. We propose volcanism at Piton de la Fournaise, a frequently active oceanic shield volcano, as an analog to volcanism at Chloris Mons, Venus.

Atmospheric Escape in Exoplanets: a Journey From Gas Giants to Earth Twins
, 2021 Most planets are surrounded by a layer of material in gas phase with varying levels of physical and chemical properties. The planetary upper atmosphere invariably extend to space with decreasing levels of density and increasing gas particle velocities ...

Impacts of Carbon Dioxide Deposition on Martian Near‐Surface Wave Activity
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract A prominent feature of Mars' winter atmosphere is near‐surface baroclinic wave activity. These waves exert strong control on dust storm variability and contribute to transport of heat, momentum, and dust. Using a suite of Mars general circulation model simulations, we investigate an underexplored connection between near‐surface wave activity ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Xenon (Xe) is a heavy noble gas with intriguing chemical properties, such as having several stable isotopes and the ability to form compounds under extreme conditions. Despite the predictions based on cosmochemical models that suggest xenon should be relatively abundant in planetary reservoirs, empirical data indicate a significant depletion ...

Atmospheric Dynamics of Hot Exoplanets
, 2014 The characterization of exoplanetary atmospheres has come of age in the last decade, as astronomical techniques now allow for albedos, chemical abundances, temperature profiles and maps, rotation periods and even wind speeds to be measured.
