Collapse of the general circulation in shortwave-absorbing atmospheres: an idealized model study
Wanying Kang, Robin Wordsworth
The response of the general circulation in a dry atmosphere to various atmospheric shortwave absorptivities is investigated in a three-dimensional general circulation model with gr…
Regime transition between eddy-driven and moist-driven circulation on High Obliquity Planets
Wanying Kang
We investigate how the meridional circulation and baroclinic eddies change with insolation and rotation rate, under high and zero obliquity setups, using a general circulation mode…
Transit Signatures of Inhomogeneous Clouds on Hot Jupiters: Insights From Microphysical Cloud Modeling
Diana Powell, Tom Louden, Laura Kreidberg +3
We determine the observability in transmission of inhomogeneous cloud cover on the limbs of hot Jupiters through post processing a general circulation model to include cloud distri…
EXOFASTv2: A public, generalized, publication-quality exoplanet modeling code
Jason D. Eastman, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Eric Agol +6
We present the next generation public exoplanet fitting software, EXOFASTv2. It is capable of fitting an arbitrary number of planets, radial velocity data sets, astrometric data se…
Searching the Moon for Extrasolar Material and the Building Blocks of Extraterrestrial Life
Manasvi Lingam, Abraham Loeb
Due to its absence of an atmosphere and relative geological inertness, the Moon's surface records past impacts of objects from the Solar system and beyond. We examine the prospects…
No Evidence for Lunar Transit in New Analysis of Hubble Space Telescope Observations of the Kepler-1625 System
Laura Kreidberg, Rodrigo Luger, Megan Bedell
Observations of the Kepler-1625 system with the Kepler and Hubble Space Telescopes have suggested the presence of a candidate exomoon, Kepler-1625b I, a Neptune-radius satellite or…
A New Line-By-Line General Circulation Model for Simulations of Diverse Planetary Atmospheres: Initial Validation and Application to the Exoplanet GJ 1132b
Feng Ding, Robin D. Wordsworth
Exploring diverse planetary atmospheres requires modeling tools that are both accurate and flexible. Here, we develop a three-dimensional general circulation model (3D GCM) that fo…
Wetter Stratospheres on High Obliquity Planets
Wanying Kang
We investigate how obliquity affects stratospheric humidity using a 3D general circulation model and find the stratosphere under high obliquity could be over 3 orders of magnitude…
Revisiting the Biological Ramifications of Variations in Earth's Magnetic Field
Manasvi Lingam
An Earth-like planetary magnetic field has been widely invoked as a requirement for habitability as it purportedly mitigates the fluxes of ionizing radiation reaching the surface a…
Mechanisms leading to a warmer climate on high obliquity planets
Wanying Kang
A consistent finding of high obliquity simulations is that they are warmer than their low obliquity counterparts when the climate is cold. Ice-albedo feedback has been suggested as…
X-ray Studies of Exoplanets: A 2020 Decadal Survey White Paper
Scott J. Wolk, Jeremy J. Drake, Graziella Branduardi-Raymont +28
Over the last two decades, the discovery of exoplanets has fundamentally changed our perception of the universe and humanity's place within it. Recent work indicates that a solar s…
Climate of an Ultra hot Jupiter: Spectroscopic phase curve of WASP-18b with HST/WFC3
Jacob Arcangeli, Jean-Michel Desert, Vivien Parmentier +6
We present the analysis of a full-orbit, spectroscopic phase curve of the ultra hot Jupiter WASP-18b, obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. We me…
Detecting Earth-like Biosignatures on Rocky Exoplanets around Nearby Stars with Ground-based Extremely Large Telescopes
Mercedes López-Morales, Thayne Currie, Johanna Teske +21
As we begin to discover rocky planets in the habitable zone of nearby stars with missions like TESS and CHEOPS, we will need quick advancements on instrumentation and observational…
New Frontiers for Terrestrial-sized to Neptune-sized Exoplanets In the Era of Extremely Large Telescopes
Ji Wang, Michael R. Meyer, Alan Boss +20
Surveys reveal that terrestrial- to Neptune-sized planets (1 4 R) are the most common type of planets in our galaxy. Detecting and characterizing such small…
EUV influences on exoplanet atmospheric stability and evolution
Allison Youngblood, Kevin France, Tommi Koskinen +15
The planetary effective surface temperature alone is insufficient to characterize exoplanet atmospheres and their stability or evolution. Considering the star-planet system as a wh…
Active Galactic Nuclei: Boon or Bane for Biota?
Manasvi Lingam, Idan Ginsburg, Shmuel Bialy
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) emit substantial fluxes of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, and have therefore attracted some recent attention for their negative impact on gala…
Nitrogen Oxide Concentrations in Natural Waters on Early Earth
Sukrit Ranjan, Zoe R. Todd, Paul B. Rimmer +2
A key challenge in origins-of-life studies is estimating the abundances of species relevant to the chemical pathways proposed to have contributed to the emergence of life on early…
Turning up the heat on `Oumuamua
John C. Forbes, Abraham Loeb
We explore what may be learned by close encounters between extrasolar minor bodies like `Oumuamua and the Sun. These encounters may yield strong constraints on the bulk composition…
