Seasonal variations of chemical species and haze in Titan's upper atmosphere
Siteng Fan, Daniel Zhao, Cheng Li +3
Seasonal variation is significant in Titan's atmosphere due to the large change of solar insolation resulting from Titan's 26.7° axial tilt relative to the plane of Saturn's orbit.…
Thermal Tides in the Martian Atmosphere near Northern Summer Solstice Observed by ACS/TIRVIM onboard TGO
Siteng Fan, Sandrine Guerlet, François Forget +8
Thermal tides in the Martian atmosphere are analyzed using temperature profiles retrieved from nadir observations obtained by the TIRVIM Fourier-spectrometer, part of the Atmospher…
Assessing Planetary Complexity and Potential Agnostic Biosignatures using Epsilon Machines
Stuart Bartlett, Jiazheng Li, Lixiang Gu +6
We present a new approach to exoplanet characterisation using techniques from complexity science, with potential applications to biosignature detection. This agnostic method makes…
A bimodal distribution of haze in Pluto's atmosphere
Siteng Fan, Peter Gao, Xi Zhang +8
Pluto, Titan, and Triton make up a unique class of solar system bodies, with icy surfaces and chemically reducing atmospheres rich in organic photochemistry and haze formation. Haz…
Earth as a Proxy Exoplanet: Deconstructing and Reconstructing Spectrophotometric Light Curves
Lixiang Gu, Siteng Fan, Jiazheng Li +7
Point source spectrophotometric ("single-point") light curves of Earth-like planets contain a surprising amount of information about the spatial features of those worlds. Spatially…
Global Mapping of an Exo-Earth using Sparse Modeling
Masataka Aizawa, Hajime Kawahara, Siteng Fan
We develop a new retrieval scheme for obtaining two-dimensional surface maps of exoplanets from scattered light curves. In our scheme, the combination of the L1-norm and Total Squa…
