Fully fluorinated non-carbon compounds NF3 and SF6 as ideal technosignature gases
Sara Seager, Janusz J. Petkowski, Jingcheng Huang +3
Waste gas products from technological civilizations may accumulate in an exoplanet atmosphere to detectable levels. We propose nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) and sulfur hexafluoride (S…
Venus' Atmospheric Chemistry and Cloud Characteristics Are Compatible with Venusian Life
William Bains, Janusz J. Petkowski, Sara Seager
Venus is Earth's sister planet, with similar mass and density but an uninhabitably hot surface, an atmosphere with a water activity 50-100 times lower than anywhere on Earths' surf…
Large Uncertainties in the Thermodynamics of Phosphorus (III) Oxide (PO) Have Significant Implications for Phosphorus Species in Planetary Atmospheres
William Bains, Matthew A. Pasek, Sukrit Ranjan +3
Phosphorus (III) oxide (PO) has been suggested to be a major component of the gas phase phosphorus chemistry in the atmospheres of gas giant planets and of Venus. However,…
Rocket Lab Mission to Venus
Richard French, Christophe Mandy, Richard Hunter +8
Regular, low-cost Decadal-class science missions to planetary destinations will be enabled by high-ΔV small spacecraft, such as the high-energy Photon, and small launch vehicles, s…
Mission Architecture to Characterize Habitability of Venus Cloud Layers via an Aerial Platform
Rachana Agrawal, Weston P. Buchanan, Archit Arora +8
Venus is known for its extreme surface temperature and its sulfuric acid clouds. But the cloud layers on Venus have similar temperature and pressure conditions to those on the surf…
Aerial Platform Design Options for a Life-Finding Mission at Venus
Weston P. Buchanan, Maxim de Jong, Rachana Agrawal +5
Mounting evidence of chemical disequilibria in the Venusian atmosphere has heightened interest in the search for life within the planet's cloud decks. Balloon systems are currently…
