Local-time Dependence of Chemical Species in the Venusian Mesosphere

Wencheng D. Shao, Xi Zhang, João Mendonça +1

Observed chemical species in the Venusian mesosphere show local-time variabilities. SO2 at the cloud top exhibits two local maxima over local time, H2O at the cloud top is uniforml…

A Cross-Laboratory Comparison Study of Titan Haze Analogs: Surface Energy

Jialin Li, Xinting Yu, Ella Sciamma-O'Brien +5

In Titan's nitrogen-methane atmosphere, photochemistry leads to the production of complex organic particles, forming Titan's thick haze layers. Laboratory-produced aerosol analogs,…

Cleaning our Hazy Lens: Exploring Trends in Transmission Spectra of Warm Exoplanets

Austin H. Dymont, Xinting Yu, Kazumasa Ohno +3

Relatively little is understood about the atmospheric composition of temperate to warm exoplanets (equilibrium temperature 1000 K), as many of them are found to have…

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…
