Haze production rates in super-Earth and mini-Neptune atmosphere experiments [PDF]

Nature Astronomy, 2018
Numerous Solar System atmospheres possess photochemically generated hazes, including the characteristic organic hazes of Titan and Pluto. Haze particles substantially impact atmospheric temperature structures and may provide organic material to the surface of a world, potentially affecting its habitability. Observations of exoplanet atmospheres suggest

A Revised Exoplanet Yield from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) [PDF]

, 2018
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has a goal of detecting small planets orbiting stars bright enough for mass determination via ground-based radial velocity observations.

The Pressure and Temperature Limits of Likely Rocky Exoplanets

, 2019
The interior composition of exoplanets is not observable, limiting our direct knowledge of their structure, composition, and dynamics. Recently described observational trends suggest that rocky exoplanets, that is, planets without significant volatile ...

Revisiting rho 1 Cancri e: A New Mass Determination Of The Transiting super-Earth [PDF]

, 2012
We present a mass determination for the transiting super-Earth rho 1 Cancri e based on nearly 700 precise radial velocity (RV) measurements. This extensive RV data set consists of data collected by the McDonald Observatory planet search and published ...

Characteristics of Super-Earths and Mini-Neptunes

Astronomy Reports
Abstract More than half of currently known stars have nearby exoplanets with size between Earth and Neptune, called super-Earths and mini-Neptunes. The California–Kepler Survey (CKS) studied data from NASA’s Kepler mission and revealed a bimodal distribution of planets with $$R < 3.5{\kern 1pt} {{R}_{{\text ...

Detection of a transit of the super-Earth 55 Cnc e with Warm Spitzer [PDF]

, 2011
We report on the detection of a transit of the super-Earth 55 Cnc e with warm Spitzer in IRAC's 4.5-micron band. Our MCMC analysis includes an extensive modeling of the systematic effects affecting warm Spitzer photometry, and yields a transit depth of ...

Contributions of arid climate and hydrothermal fluid flow on sedimentation in saline‐alkaline lakes: Insight from the Ibar intramontane basin (Southern Serbia)

The Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1029-1062, September 2025.
The article demonstrates that brine was central for the supply of Ca and B to the studied saline lake. The ion transport occurred probably by thermal springs, while contributions from surface waters cannot be excluded. However, the saturation and syndepositional precipitation of Ca borates were initiated by an arid climate through evaporation, while ...

The Occurrence of Small, Short-period Planets Younger than 200 Myr with TESS

The Astronomical Journal
Within the first few hundreds of millions of years, many physical processes sculpt the eventual properties of young planets. NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission has surveyed young stellar associations across the entire sky for ...

King's Lynn and the Low Countries in the Early Seventeenth Century: Maritime Trade and Sexual Scandal

History, Volume 110, Issue 390, Page 173-193, March 2025.
Abstract This article analyses the general pattern of King's Lynn's overseas trade as it is recorded in the port books during the early years of the reign of James I and the place of trade with the Low Countries within that overall pattern. It shows how Lynn's merchants adapted to the emergence of the new Dutch Republic and in particular to the growth ...
