Spatially resolving the volatile sulfur abundance in the HD 100546 protoplanetary disk
Luke Keyte, Mihkel Kama, Ko-Ju Chuang +5
Volatile elements play a crucial role in the formation of planetary systems. Their abundance and distribution in protoplanetary disks provide vital insights into the connection bet…
The distribution of impactor core material during large impacts on Earth-like planets
Jonathan P. Itcovitz, Auriol S. P. Rae, Thomas M. Davison +2
Large impacts onto young rocky planets may transform their compositions, creating highly reducing conditions at their surfaces and reintroducing highly siderophile metals to their…
Atmospheres as a Window to Rocky Exoplanet Surfaces
Xander Byrne, Oliver Shorttle, Sean Jordan +1
As the characterization of exoplanet atmospheres proceeds, providing insights into atmospheric chemistry and composition, a key question is how much deeper into the planet we might…
Phanerozoic biological reworking of the continental carbonate rock reservoir
Craig R. Walton, Oliver Shorttle
Understanding the co-evolution of complex life with Earth's geology is an enduring challenge. The rock record evidences remarkable correlations between changes in biology and the w…
Post-main sequence thermal evolution of planetesimals
Yuqi Li, Amy Bonsor, Oliver Shorttle
White dwarfs that have accreted planetary materials provide a powerful tool to probe the interiors and formation of exoplanets. In particular, the high Fe/Si ratio of some white dw…
A mineralogical reason why all exoplanets cannot be equally oxidising
Claire Marie Guimond, Oliver Shorttle, Sean Jordan +1
From core to atmosphere, the oxidation states of elements in a planet shape its character. Oxygen fugacity (fO) is one parameter indicating these likely oxidation states. The o…
Prebiosignature Molecules Can Be Detected in Temperate Exoplanet Atmospheres with JWST
Alastair Claringbold, Paul Rimmer, Sarah Rugheimer +1
The search for biosignatures on exoplanets connects the fields of biology and biochemistry to astronomical observation, with the hope that we might detect evidence of active biolog…
Avoiding methane emission rate underestimates when using the divergence method
Clayton Roberts, Rutger IJzermans, David Randell +5
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, and a primary target for mitigating climate change in the short-term future due to its relatively short atmospheric lifetime and greater abili…
Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE): IX. Assessing the Impact of Clouds on Atmospheric Retrievals at Mid-Infrared Wavelengths with a Venus-Twin Exoplanet
B. S. Konrad, E. Alei, S. P. Quanz +10
The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) initiative aims to develop a space based mid-infrared (MIR) nulling interferometer to measure the thermal emission spectra of tempera…
Azimuthal C/O Variations in a Planet-Forming Disk
Luke Keyte, Mihkel Kama, Alice S. Booth +8
The elemental carbon-to-oxygen ratio (C/O) in the atmosphere of a giant planet is a promising diagnostic of that planet's formation history in a protoplanetary disk. Alongside effo…
