Influence of Orbit and Mass Constraints on Reflected Light Characterization of Directly Imaged Rocky Exoplanets

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Survey strategies for upcoming exoplanet direct imaging missions have considered varying assumptions of prior knowledge. Precursor radial velocity surveys could have detected nearby exo-Earths and provided prior orbit and mass constraints. Alternatively,

Effects of Planetary Mass Uncertainties on the Interpretation of the Reflectance Spectra of Earth-like Exoplanets

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Atmospheric characterization of Earth-like exoplanets through reflected light spectroscopy is a key goal for upcoming direct imaging missions. A critical challenge in this endeavor is the accurate determination of planetary mass, which may influence the ...

The Vulcan Mission to Io: Lessons Learned during the 2022 JPL Planetary Science Summer School

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
A mission to Jupiter's moon Io, the most volcanically active body in the solar system, was suggested as a priority for the New Frontiers program in the 2013 Planetary Science Decadal Survey.

Planetary Albedo Is Limited by the Above-cloud Atmosphere: Implications for Sub-Neptune Climates

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Energy limits that delineate the “habitable zone” for exoplanets depend on a given exoplanet’s net planetary albedo (or “Bond albedo”). We here demonstrate that the planetary albedo of an observed exoplanet is limited by the above-cloud atmosphere—the ...

Retention of Habitable Atmospheres in Planetary Systems

open access: yes
The ability of a planet to retain an atmosphere influences whether water can be stable as a liquid at the planet's surface. A planet's atmospheric state is the result of source, loss, and modification processes that have acted on the atmosphere over time. The loss of atmosphere to space is therefore an important component in assessing planetary surface
