A Link between Rocky Planet Density and Host Star Chemistry

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Planets and their host stars form from the same cloud of gas and dust, so we assume that their chemical compositions are linked. However, a clear correlation between rocky planet interior properties and host star chemistry remains elusive for planets ...

The Process We Call Earth: Relationships Between Dynamic Feedbacks and the Search for Gaiasignatures in a New Paradigm of Earthlikeness

open access: yesPerspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 5, Issue 1, December 2024.
Abstract Standard notions of an “Earthlike” planet rely solely on physical and material properties, like planetary mass, radius, and surface temperature. Here, we introduce a novel, relational perspective on what defines “Earthlikeness.” In our process‐based framework, rocky planets are local pockets of free energy that have the potential to drive the ...

A Gap in the Densities of Small Planets Orbiting M Dwarfs: Rigorous Statistical Confirmation Using the Open-source Code RhoPop

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Using mass–radius composition models, small planets ( R ≲ 2 R _⊕ ) are typically classified into three types: iron-rich, nominally Earth-like, and those with solid/liquid water and/or atmosphere.

From Meteorite to Life's Building Blocks: A possible Electrochemical Pathway to Amino Acids and Peptide Bonds

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Volume 30, Issue 57, October 11, 2024.
This study investigates the ability of the carbonaceous meteorite CV3 Allende to act as a catalyst in electrochemical interactions, triggering electrocatalytic reactions resulting in nitrogen (N2) fixation and conversion to ammonia. Additionally, the evolution of crucial compounds such as H2, CN− and sulfur/H2S was observed, along with the detection of

Machine-learning Inferences of the Interior Structure of Rocky Exoplanets from Bulk Observational Constraints

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
Characterizing the interiors of rocky exoplanets is important to understand planetary populations and further investigate planetary habitability. New observable constraints and inference techniques have been explored for this purpose.

Detection and quantification of organosulfur species in the Tagish Lake Meteorite by highly sensitive LC‐MS

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 59, Issue 9, Page 2241-2259, September 2024.
Abstract We analyzed the methanol extracts of six pristine specimens of the Tagish Lake meteorite (TL1, TL4, TL5A, TL6, TL7, and TL10a) and heated and unheated samples of Allende using high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with high‐resolution, accurate mass–mass spectrometry (HPLC‐HRAM‐MS).

The Impact of Water Clouds on the Prospective Emission Spectrum of Teegarden’s Star b as Observed by LIFE

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Nontransiting terrestrial planets will be accessible by upcoming observatories of which LIFE is an example. Planet b orbiting Teegarden’s Star is one of the optimal targets for such missions.

Near the Runaway: The Climate and Habitability of Teegarden’s Star b

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Teegarden’s Star b, a nearby terrestrial world receiving an Earth-like instellation, is a prime candidate for next-generation observatories targeting temperate exoplanets in their habitable zones.

Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry: Current and future approaches

open access: yesRapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 38, Issue 14, 30 July 2024.
Rationale Knudsen effusion mass spectrometry (KEMS) has been a powerful tool in physical chemistry since 1954. There are many excellent reviews of the basic principles of KEMS in the literature. In this review, we focus on the current status and potential growth areas for this instrumental technique.

A water budget dichotomy of rocky protoplanets from ²⁶Al-heating [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In contrast to the water-poor inner solar system planets, stochasticity during planetary formation (Alibert & Benz 2017; Raymond& Izidoro 2017) and order of magnitude deviations in exoplanet volatile contents (Kaltenegger 2017) suggest ...
