The Open-Source Photochem Code: A General Chemical and Climate Model for Interpreting (Exo)Planet Observations

Nicholas F. Wogan, Natasha E. Batalha, Kevin Zahnle +7

With the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, we are firmly in the era of exoplanet atmosphere characterization. Understanding exoplanet spectra requires atmospheric chemical…

Extreme Forward Scattering Observed in Disk-Averaged Near-Infrared Phase Curves of Titan

Chase A. Cooper, Tyler D. Robinson, Jason W. Barnes +2

Titan, with its thick and hazy atmosphere, is a key world in our solar system for understanding light scattering processes. NASA's Cassini mission monitored Titan between 2004 and…

Modern Earth-like Chemical Disequilibrium Biosignatures Are Challenging To Constrain Through Spectroscopic Retrievals

Amber Young, Tyler Robinson, Joshua Krissansen-Totton +4

Robust exoplanet characterization studies are underway, and the community is looking ahead toward developing observational strategies to search for life beyond our solar system. Wi…

Potential technosignature from anomalously low deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) in planetary water depleted by nuclear fusion technology

David C. Catling, Joshua Krissansen-Totton, Tyler D. Robinson

Deuterium-deuterium (DD) fusion is viewed as an ideal energy source for humanity in the far future, given a vast seawater supply of D. Here, we consider long-lived, extraterrestria…

Microphysical Prescriptions for Parameterized Water Cloud Formation on Ultra-cool Substellar Objects

James Mang, Caroline V. Morley, Tyler D. Robinson +1

Water must condense into ice clouds in the coldest brown dwarfs and exoplanets. When they form, these icy clouds change the emergent spectra, temperature structure, and albedo of t…

Impact of Planetary Parameters on Water Clouds Microphysics

Huanzhou Yang, Thaddeus D. Komacek, Owen B. Toon +4

Potentially habitable exoplanets are targets of great interest for the James Webb Space Telescope and upcoming mission concepts such as the Habitable Worlds Observatory. Clouds str…

Exoplanet Analog Observations of Earth from Galileo Disk-integrated Photometry

Ryder H. Strauss, Tyler D. Robinson, David E. Trilling +2

The Galileo spacecraft had distant encounters with Earth in 1990 and 1992. Limited Solid State Imager (SSI) data acquired during these encounters has been previously presented, but…

Retrievals Applied To A Decision Tree Framework Can Characterize Earth-like Exoplanet Analogs

Amber V. Young, Jaime Crouse, Giada Arney +3

Exoplanet characterization missions planned for the future will soon enable searches for life beyond our solar system. Critical to the search will be the development of life detect…

Inferring Chemical Disequilibrium Biosignatures for Proterozoic Earth-Like Exoplanets

Amber V. Young, Tyler D. Robinson, Joshua Krissansen-Totton +9

Chemical disequilibrium quantified via available free energy has previously been proposed as a potential biosignature. However, exoplanet biosignature remote sensing work has not y…

The Need for Laboratory Measurements and Ab Initio Studies to Aid Understanding of Exoplanetary Atmospheres

Jonathan J. Fortney, Tyler D. Robinson, Shawn Domagal-Goldman +85

We are now on a clear trajectory for improvements in exoplanet observations that will revolutionize our ability to characterize their atmospheric structure, composition, and circul…

Retrieval of Planetary Rotation and Albedo from DSCOVR data

S. R. Kane, S. D. Domagal-Goldman, J. R. Herman +2

The field of exoplanets has rapidly expanded from the exclusivity of exoplanet detection to include exoplanet characterization. A key step towards this characterization will be ret…
