The Effect of Planetary Rotation Period on Clouds in a Global Climate Model with a Bin Microphysics Scheme
Huanzhou Yang, Eric T. Wolf, Cheng-Cheng Liu +3
Clouds are the largest source of uncertainty in climate simulations. For exoplanets, cloud simulation is particularly challenging because of the lack of observational data to tune…
Clouds can enhance direct imaging detection of O2 and O3 on terrestrial exoplanets
Huanzhou Yang, Michelle Hu, Dorian S. Abbot
Clouds are often considered a highly uncertain barrier for detecting biosignatures on exoplanets, especially given intuition gained from transit surveys. However, for direct imagin…
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…
Probing the capability of future direct imaging missions to spectrally constrain the frequency of Earth-like planets
Jade H. Checlair, Geronimo L. Villanueva, Benjamin P. C. Hayworth +6
A critical question in astrobiology is whether exoEarth candidates (EECs) are Earth-like, in that they originate life that progressively oxygenates their atmospheres similarly to E…
Non-detection of O/O informs frequency of Earth-like planets with LUVOIR but not HabEx
Jade H. Checlair, Benjamin P. C. Hayworth, Stephanie L. Olson +5
A critical question in the search for extraterrestrial life is whether exoEarths are Earth-like, in that they host life that progressively oxygenates their atmospheres roughly foll…
How do Planetary Radius and Gravity Influence the Surface Climate of Earth-like Planets?
Huanzhou Yang, Jun Yang
About 4000 exoplanets have been confirmed since the year of 1992, and for most of the planets, the main parameters that can be measured are planetary radius and mass. Based on thes…
Effects of Radius and Gravity on the Inner Edge of the Habitable Zone
Huanzhou Yang, Thaddeus D. Komacek, Dorian S. Abbot
A rigorous definition of the habitable zone and its dependence on planetary properties is part of the search for habitable exoplanets. In this work, we use the general circulation…
