The Expected Yield of Venus Zone Terrestrial Planets from PLATO
Stephen R. Kane, Emma L. Miles, Colby M. Ostberg +2
The characterization of terrestrial exoplanets and the conditions that lead to divergent climate outcomes is a primary goal of exoplanetary science. The Venus Zone (VZ) provides a…
Imaging Venus-like Worlds: Spectral, Polarimetric, and UV Diagnostics for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Stephen R. Kane, Kimberly M. Bott, Kenneth E. Goodis Gordon +15
Understanding planetary habitability requires a comparative approach that explores the divergent evolutionary outcomes of Earth and Venus. The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) wi…
Planetary Habitability Under the Light of a Rapidly Changing Star
Tara Fetherolf, Sadie G. Welter, Colby M. Ostberg +3
Planetary atmospheric energy budgets primarily depend on stellar incident flux. However, stellar variability can have major consequences for the evolution of planetary climates. In…
Interior and Climate Modeling of the Venus Zone Planet TOI-2285 b
Emma L. Miles, Colby Ostberg, Stephen R. Kane +5
As the discovery of exoplanets progresses at a rapid pace, the large number of known planets provides a pathway to assess the stellar and planetary properties that govern the clima…
The Prospect of Detecting Volcanic Signatures on an ExoEarth Using Direct Imaging
Colby M. Ostberg, Scott D. Guzewich, Stephen R. Kane +6
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided the first opportunity to study the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets and estimate their surface conditions. Earth-sized plane…
Two Warm Super-Earths Transiting the Nearby M Dwarf TOI-2095
Elisa V. Quintana, Emily A. Gilbert, Thomas Barclay +55
We report the detection and validation of two planets orbiting TOI-2095 (TIC 235678745). The host star is a 3700K M1V dwarf with a high proper motion. The star lies at a distance o…
Synergies between Venus & Exoplanetary Observations
M. J. Way, Colby Ostberg, Bradford J. Foley +9
In this chapter we examine how our knowledge of present day Venus can inform terrestrial exoplanetary science and how exoplanetary science can inform our study of Venus. In a super…
The Demographics of Terrestrial Planets in the Venus Zone
Colby Ostberg, Stephen R. Kane, Zhexing Li +7
Understanding the physical characteristics of Venus, including its atmosphere, interior, and its evolutionary pathway with respect to Earth, remains a vital component for terrestri…
A Catalog of Habitable Zone Exoplanets
Michelle L. Hill, Kimberly Bott, Paul A. Dalba +5
The search for habitable planets has revealed many planets that can vary greatly from an Earth analog environment. These include highly eccentric orbits, giant planets, different b…
Science Extraction from TESS Observations of Known Exoplanet Hosts
Stephen R. Kane, Jacob L. Bean, Tiago L. Campante +15
The transit method of exoplanet discovery and characterization has enabled numerous breakthroughs in exoplanetary science. These include measurements of planetary radii, mass-radiu…
Eccentricity Driven Climate Effects in the Kepler-1649 System
Stephen R. Kane, Zhexing Li, Eric T. Wolf +2
The discovery of terrestrial exoplanets is uncovering increasingly diverse architectures. Of particular interest are those systems that contain exoplanets at a variety of star-plan…
Transits of Known Planets Orbiting a Naked-Eye Star
Stephen R. Kane, Selçuk Yalçınkaya, Hugh P. Osborn +45
Some of the most scientifically valuable transiting planets are those that were already known from radial velocity (RV) surveys. This is primarily because their orbits are well cha…
Predicting the Yield of Potential Venus Analogs from TESS and their Potential for Atmospheric Characterization
Colby Ostberg, Stephen R. Kane
The transit method is biased toward short orbital period planets that are interior to their host star's Habitable Zone (HZ). These planets are particularly interesting from the per…
