Heliospheric modulation of the interstellar dust flow on to Earth
Peter Strub, Veerle J. Sterken, Rachel Soja +3
Aims. Based on measurements by the Ulysses spacecraft and high-resolution modelling of the motion of interstellar dust (ISD) through the heliosphere we predict the ISD flow in the…
XUV Radiation from A-stars: Implications for Ultra-hot Jupiters
L. Fossati, T. Koskinen, J. D. Lothringer +3
Extremely irradiated, close-in planets to early-type stars might be prone to strong atmospheric escape. We review the literature showing that X-ray-to-optical measurements indicate…
Biosignature Anisotropy Modeled on Temperate Tidally Locked M-dwarf Planets
Howard Chen, Eric T. Wolf, Ravi Kopparapu +2
A planet's atmospheric constituents (e.g., O, O, HO, CO, CH, NO) can provide clues to its surface habitability, and may offer biosignature targets for r…
Atmospheric dynamics and the variable transit of KELT-9 b
P. Wilson Cauley, Evgenya L. Shkolnik, Ilya Ilyin +3
We present a spectrally and temporally resolved detection of the optical Mg I triplet at 7.8 in the extended atmosphere of the ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-9 b, adding to the list of…
Nightside Winds at the Lower Clouds of Venus with Akatsuki/IR2: Longitudinal, local time and decadal variations from comparison with previous measurements
Javier Peralta, Keishiro Muto, Ricardo Hueso +16
We present measurements of the wind speeds at the nightside lower clouds of Venus from observations by JAXA's mission Akatsuki during 2016, complemented with new wind measurements…
Differences in water vapor radiative transfer among 1D models can significantly affect the inner edge of the habitable zone
Jun Yang, Jeremy Leconte, Eric T. Wolf +8
An accurate estimate of the inner edge of the habitable zone is critical for determining which exoplanets are potentially habitable and for designing future telescopes to observe t…
The Lyman-α Sky Background as Observed by New Horizons
G. Randall Gladstone, Wayne R. Pryor, S. Alan Stern +22
Recent observations of interplanetary medium (IPM) atomic hydrogen Lyman-α (Lyα) emission in the outer solar system, made with the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on New Horizons (N…
Modeling Martian Atmospheric Losses over Time: Implications for Exoplanetary Climate Evolution and Habitability
Chuanfei Dong, Yuni Lee, Yingjuan Ma +11
In this Letter, we make use of sophisticated 3D numerical simulations to assess the extent of atmospheric ion and photochemical losses from Mars over time. We demonstrate that the…
Solar wind dynamics around a comet - A 2D semi-analytical kinetic model
E. Behar, B. Tabone, M. Saillenfest +5
We aim at analytically modelling the solar wind proton trajectories during their interaction with a partially ionised cometary atmosphere, not in terms of bulk properties of the fl…
On the orbital variability of Ganymede's atmosphere
Francois Leblanc, Apurva V. Oza, Ludivine Leclercq +5
Ganymede's atmosphere is produced by radiative interactions with its surface, sourced by the Sun and the Jovian plasma. The sputtered and thermally desorbed molecules are tracked i…
The origin and fate of O in Europa's ice: an atmospheric perspective
Robert E. Johnson, Apurva V. Oza, Francois Leblanc +2
The early prediction and subsequent detection of an O atmosphere on Europa, coupled with the discovery that Europa has an ocean under its ice mantle, has made this moon a prime…
Dusk Over Dawn O Asymmetry in Europa's Near-Surface Atmosphere
Apurva V. Oza, Francois Leblanc, Robert E. Johnson +4
The evolution of Europa's water-product exosphere over its 85-hour day, based on current models, has not been shown to exhibit any diurnal asymmetries. Here we simulate Europa's ex…
Solar wind interaction with the Martian upper atmosphere: Roles of the cold thermosphere and hot oxygen corona
Chuanfei Dong, Stephen W. Bougher, Yingjuan Ma +10
We study roles of the thermosphere and exosphere on the Martian ionospheric structure and ion escape rates in the process of the solar wind-Mars interaction. We employ a four-speci…
Planet Four: Probing Springtime Winds on Mars by Mapping the Southern Polar CO Jet Deposits
K. -Michael Aye, Megan E. Schwamb, Ganna Portyankina +11
The springtime sublimation process of Mars' southern seasonal polar CO ice cap features dark fan-shaped deposits appearing on the top of the thawing ice sheet. The fan material…
The Transiting Exoplanet Community Early Release Science Program for JWST
Jacob L. Bean, Kevin B. Stevenson, Natalie M. Batalha +99
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) presents the opportunity to transform our understanding of planets and the origins of life by revealing the atmospheric compositions, structur…
The Cosmic Dust Analyzer onboard Cassini: ten years of discoveries
Ralf Srama, Sascha Kempf, Georg Moragas-Klostermeyer +38
The interplanetary space probe Cassini/Huygens reached Saturn in July 2004 after seven years of cruise phase. The Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) measures the interplanetary, interstell…
Convective dynamics and disequilibrium chemistry in the atmospheres of giant planets and brown dwarfs
Baylee Bordwell, Benjamin P. Brown, Jeffrey S. Oishi
Disequilibrium chemical processes have a large effect upon the spectra of substellar objects. To study these effects, dynamical disequilibrium has been parameterized using the quen…
Suppressed Far-UV Stellar Activity and Low Planetary Mass Loss in the WASP-18 System
L. Fossati, T. Koskinen, K. France +4
WASP-18 hosts a massive, very close-in Jupiter-like planet. Despite its young age (1 Gyr), the star presents an anomalously low stellar activity level: the measured logR'$_{\rm…
Mars Thermospheric Variability Revealed by MAVEN EUVM Solar Occultations: Structure at Aphelion and Perihelion, and Response to EUV Forcing
E. M. B. Thiemann, F. G. Eparvier, S. W. Bougher +6
The Mars thermosphere holds clues to the evolution of the Martian climate, and has practical implications for spacecraft visiting Mars, which often use it for aerobraking upon arri…
The Propitious Role of Solar Energetic Particles in the Origin of Life
Manasvi Lingam, Chuanfei Dong, Xiaohua Fang +2
We carry out 3-D numerical simulations to assess the penetration and bombardment effects of Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs), i.e. high-energy particle bursts during large flares a…
