Simulations of Water Vapor and Clouds on Rapidly Rotating and Tidally Locked Planets: a 3D Model Intercomparison
Jun Yang, Jeremy Leconte, Eric T. Wolf +4
Robustly modeling the inner edge of the habitable zone is essential for determining the most promising potentially habitable exoplanets for atmospheric characterization. Global cli…
Clouds will likely prevent the detection of water vapor in JWST transmission spectra of terrestrial exoplanets
Thaddeus D. Komacek, Thomas J. Fauchez, Eric T. Wolf +1
We are on the verge of characterizing the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets in the habitable zones of M dwarf stars. Due to their large planet-to-star radius ratios and higher…
Is pi Men c's atmosphere hydrogen-dominated? Insights from a non-detecton of Hy Ly-alpha absorption
Antonio García Muñoz, Allison Youngblood, Luca Fossati +3
Constraining the composition of super-Earth-to-sub-Neptune-size planets is a priority to understand the processes of planetary formation and evolution. pi Men c represents a unique…
O2- and CO-Rich Atmospheres for Potentially Habitable Environments on TRAPPIST-1 Planets
Renyu Hu, Luke Peterson, Eric T. Wolf
Small exoplanets of nearby M dwarf stars present the possibility to find and characterize habitable worlds within the next decade. TRAPPIST-1, an ultracool M dwarf star, was recent…
The Dawn of Dust Astronomy
Eberhard Grün, Harald Krüger, Ralf Srama
We review the development of dust science from the first ground-based astronomical observations of dust in space to compositional analysis of individual dust particles and their so…
Impact of Clouds and Hazes on the Simulated JWST Transmission Spectra of Habitable Zone Planets in the TRAPPIST-1 System
Thomas J. Fauchez, Martin Turbet, Geronimo L. Villanueva +9
The TRAPPIST-1 system, consisting of an ultra-cool host star having seven known Earth-size planets will be a prime target for atmospheric characterization with JWST. However, the d…
Constraining the magnitude of climate extremes from time-varying instellation on a circumbinary terrestrial planet
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Eric T. Wolf, William F. Welsh +3
Planets that revolve around a binary pair of stars are known as circumbinary planets. The orbital motion of the stars around their center of mass causes a periodic variation in the…
Habitable Zone Boundaries for Circumbinary Planets
Wolf Cukier, Ravi kumar Kopparapu, Stephen R. Kane +4
We use a one-dimensional (1-D) cloud-free climate model to estimate habitable zone (HZ) boundaries for terrestrial planets of masses 0.1 M and 5 M around circumbinary s…
Sodium and Potassium Signatures of Volcanic Satellites Orbiting Close-in Gas Giant Exoplanets
Apurva V. Oza, Robert E. Johnson, Emmanuel Lellouch +12
Extrasolar satellites are generally too small to be detected by nominal searches. By analogy to the most active body in the Solar System, Io, we describe how sodium (Na I) and pota…
Interpretation and diversity of exoplanetary material orbiting white dwarfs
Andrew Swan, Jay Farihi, Detlev Koester +5
Nine metal-polluted white dwarfs are observed with medium-resolution optical spectroscopy,where photospheric abundances are determined and interpreted through comparison against so…
Herschel map of Saturn's stratospheric water, delivered by the plumes of Enceladus
T. Cavalié, V. Hue, P. Hartogh +13
Context. The origin of water in the stratospheres of Giant Planets has been an outstanding question ever since its first detection by ISO some 20 years ago. Water can originate fro…
Scaling Relations for Terrestrial Exoplanet Atmospheres from Baroclinic Criticality
Thaddeus D. Komacek, Malte F. Jansen, Eric T. Wolf +1
The macroturbulent atmospheric circulation of Earth-like planets mediates their equator-to-pole heat transport. For fast-rotating terrestrial planets, baroclinic instabilities in t…
Cometary Plasma Science -- A White Paper in response to the Voyage 2050 Call by the European Space Agency
Charlotte Götz, Herber Gunell, Martin Volwerk +27
Comets hold the key to the understanding of our solar system, its formation and its evolution, and to the fundamental plasma processes at work both in it and beyond it. A comet nuc…
Long-term variations of Venus' 365-nm albedo observed by Venus Express, Akatsuki, MESSENGER, and Hubble Space Telescope
Yeon Joo Lee, Kandis-Lea Jessup, Santiago Perez-Hoyos +16
An unknown absorber near the cloud top level of Venus generates a broad absorption feature from the ultraviolet (UV) to visible, peaking around 360 nm, and therefore plays a critic…
Magnetic field strengths of hot Jupiters from signals of star-planet interactions
P. Wilson Cauley, Evgenya L. Shkolnik, Joe Llama +1
Evidence of star-planet interactions in the form of planet-modulated chromospheric emission has been noted for a number of hot Jupiters. Magnetic star-planet interactions involve t…
Habitability and Spectroscopic Observability of Warm M-dwarf Exoplanets Evaluated with a 3D Chemistry-Climate Model
Howard Chen, Eric T. Wolf, Zhuchang Zhan +1
Planets residing in circumstellar habitable zones (CHZs) offer our best opportunities to test hypotheses of life's potential pervasiveness and complexity. Constraining the precise…
Simulated Phase-dependent Spectra of Terrestrial Aquaplanets in M Dwarf Systems
E. T. Wolf, R. K. Kopparapu, J. Haqq-Misra
Orbital phase-dependent variations in thermal emission and reflected stellar energy spectra can provide meaningful constraints on the climate states of terrestrial extrasolar plane…
Using Dust Shed from Asteroids as Microsamples to Link Remote Measurements with Meteorite Classes
Barbara A. Cohen, Jamey R. Szalay, Andrew S. Rivkin +6
Given the compositional diversity of asteroids, and their distribution in space, it is impossible to consider returning samples from each one to establish their origin. However, th…
Variations in the Ionospheric Peak Altitude at Mars in Response to Dust Storms: 13 Years of Observations from the Mars Express Radar Sounder
Z. Girazian, Z. Luppen, D. D. Morgan +7
Previous observations have shown that, during Martian dust storms, the peak of the ionosphere rises in altitude. Observational studies of this type, however, have been extremely li…
New cloud morphologies discovered on the Venus's night during Akatsuki
J. Peralta, A. Sánchez-Lavega, T. Horinouchi +8
During the years 2016 to 2018, the instruments Akatsuki/IR2 (JAXA) and IRTF/SpeX (NASA) acquired a large set of images at 1.74, 2.26 and 2.32 μm to study the nightside mid-to-lower…
