A New 2D Energy Balance Model for Simulating the Climates of Rapidly and Slowly Rotating Terrestrial Planets

The Planetary Science Journal
Energy balance models (EBMs), alongside radiative–convective climate models and global climate models (GCMs), are useful tools for simulating planetary climates.

Absence of a Runaway Greenhouse Limit on Lava Planets

The Astrophysical Journal
Climate transitions on exoplanets offer valuable insights into the atmospheric processes governing planetary habitability. Previous pure-steam atmospheric models show a thermal limit in outgoing long-wave radiation, which has been used to define the ...

Anatomy of Empirical Transit Spectra of Mars Based on TGO/NOMAD

The Astronomical Journal
Transit spectroscopy is a powerful tool for probing atmospheric structures of exoplanets. Accurately accounting for the effects of aerosols is key to reconstructing atmospheric properties from transit spectra, yet this remains a significant challenge. To

Toward Reliable Interpretations of Small-exoplanet Compositions: Comparisons and Considerations of Equations of State and Materials Used in Common Rocky Planet Models

The Planetary Science Journal
The bulk compositions of small planets ( R _p < 2 R _⊕ ) are directly linked to their formation histories, making reliable compositional constraints imperative for testing models of planet formation and evolution.

Haze Optical Depth in Exoplanet Atmospheres Varies with Rotation Rate: Implications for Observations

The Astronomical Journal
Transmission spectroscopy supports the presence of uncharacterized, light-scattering and -absorbing hazes in the atmospheres of many exoplanets. The complexity of factors influencing the formation, 3D transport, radiative impact, and removal of hazes ...
