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…
Haze Evolution in Temperate Exoplanet Atmospheres Through Surface Energy Measurements
Xinting Yu, Chao He, Xi Zhang +13
Photochemical hazes are important opacity sources in temperate exoplanet atmospheres, hindering current observations from characterizing exoplanet atmospheric compositions. The haz…
How to identify exoplanet surfaces using atmospheric trace species in hydrogen-dominated atmospheres
Xinting Yu, Julianne I. Moses, Jonathan J. Fortney +1
Sub-Neptunes (Rp~1.25-4 REarth) remain the most commonly detected exoplanets to date. However, it remains difficult for observations to tell whether these intermediate-sized exopla…
Haze Formation on Triton
Kazumasa Ohno, Xi Zhang, Ryo Tazaki +1
The largest moon of Neptune, Triton, possess a cold and hazy atmosphere. Since the discovery of near-surface haze layer during the Voyager fly in 1989, the haze formation mechanism…
Surface Energy of the Titan Aerosol Analog "Tholin"
Xinting Yu, Sarah Horst, Chao He +3
The photochemical haze produced in the upper atmosphere of Titan plays a key role in various atmospheric and surface processes on Titan. The surface energy, one important physical…
The Science Case for a Titan Flagship-class Orbiter with Probes
Conor A. Nixon, James Abshire, Andrew Ashton +36
We outline a flagship-class mission concept focused on studying Titan as a global system, with particular emphasis on the polar regions. Investigating Titan from the unique standpo…
