The First Hubble Detection of a Secondary Eclipse from a Rocky Exoplanet: the 5.4-hour planet TOI-2431 b
Sebastian Zieba, Billy Edwards, Samuel N. Quinn +18
We present an HST/WFC3 G141 phase-curve observation of the ultra-short-period rocky planet TOI-2431 b and detect its secondary eclipse in the near infrared. Combined with the TESS…
Thermal Evolution of Lava Planets Across System Ages: Predictions for Hell of a Survey
Mariana Sastre, Tim Lichtenberg, Lisa Dang +22
Ultra-short-period (USP) rocky exoplanets can have dayside temperatures high enough to maintain permanent magma oceans, sitting at the intersection of interior geophysics and atmos…
SCoRE: the Surface Composition of Rocky Exoplanets
Leon Sereinig, Oliver Herbort
Context. The crust composition of rocky exoplanets with a substantial atmosphere can not be observed directly. However, recent developments are starting to allow for the observatio…
Proto-planetary disk composition-dependent element volatility in the context of rocky planet formation
Rob J. Spaargaren, Oliver Herbort, Haiyang S. Wang +2
The compositions of the Solar System terrestrial bodies are fractionated from that of the Sun, where elemental depletions in the bulk rocky bodies correlate with element volatility…
The atmospheres of rocky exoplanets III. Using atmospheric spectra to constrain surface rock composition
Oliver Herbort, Leon Sereinig
Context. The crust composition of rocky exoplanets with a substantial atmosphere can not be observed directly. However, recent developments start to allow the observation and chara…
Habitable Zone and Atmosphere Retention Distance (HaZARD) Stellar-evolution-dependent loss models of secondary atmospheres
Gwenaël Van Looveren, Sudeshna Boro Saikia, Oliver Herbort +4
A major open question in exoplanet research is whether secondary atmospheres are rare around Earth-sized rocky exoplanets. In this work we determine the distance at which an Earth-…
Reliable Detections of Atmospheres on Rocky Exoplanets with Photometric JWST Phase Curves
Mark Hammond, Claire Marie Guimond, Tim Lichtenberg +9
The prevalence of atmospheres on rocky planets is one of the major questions in exoplanet astronomy, but there are currently no published unambiguous detections of atmospheres on a…
Habitability constraints by nutrient availability in atmospheres of rocky exoplanets
Oliver Herbort, Peter Woitke, Christiane Helling +1
Life as we know it requires the presence of liquid water and the availability of nutrients, which are mainly based on the elements C, H, N, O, P, and S (CHNOPS) and trace metal mic…
The sulphur species in hot rocky exoplanet atmospheres
L. J. Janssen, P. Woitke, O. Herbort +4
The first JWST observations of hot Jupiters showed an unexpected detection of SO2 in their hydrogen-rich atmospheres. We investigate how much sulphur can be expected in the atmosph…
Modification of the radioactive heat budget of Earth-like exoplanets by the loss of primordial atmospheres
N. Erkaev, M. Scherf, O. Herbort +6
The initial abundance of radioactive heat producing isotopes in the interior of a terrestrial planet are important drivers of its thermal evolution and the related tectonics and po…
Exoplanet weather and climate regimes with clouds and thermal ionospheres: A model grid study in support of large-scale observational campaigns
Christiane Helling, Dominic Samra, David Lewis +7
With observational efforts moving from the discovery into the characterisation mode, systematic campaigns that cover large ranges of global stellar and planetary parameters will be…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. Rotational variation in activity indicators of Ross 318, YZ CMi, TYC 3529-1437-1, and EV Lac
P. Schöfer, S. V. Jeffers, A. Reiners +22
The CARMENES instrument is searching for periodic radial-velocity (RV) variations of M dwarfs, which are induced by orbiting planets. However, there are other potential sources of…
The Atmospheres of Rocky Exoplanets II. Influence of surface composition on the diversity of cloud condensates
Oliver Herbort, Peter Woitke, Christiane Helling +1
Clouds are an integral part of planetary atmospheres, with most planets hosting clouds. The understanding of not only the formation, but also the composition of clouds is crucial t…
Cloud property trends in hot and ultra-hot giant gas planets (WASP-43b, WASP-103b, WASP-121b, HAT-P-7b, and WASP-18b)
Ch. Helling, D. Lewis, D. Samra +8
Ultra-hot Jupiters are the hottest exoplanets discovered so far. Observations begin to provide insight into the composition of their extended atmospheres and their chemical day/nig…
Coexistence of CH4, CO2 and H2O in exoplanet atmospheres
P. Woitke, O. Herbort, Ch. Helling +4
We propose a classification of exoplanet atmospheres based on their H, C, O, N element abundances below about 600 K. Chemical equilibrium models were run for all combinations of H,…
The Atmospheres of Rocky Exoplanets I. Outgassing of Common Rock and the Stability of Liquid Water
Oliver Herbort, Peter Woitke, Christiane Helling +1
Little is known about the interaction between atmospheres and crusts of exoplanets so far, but future space missions and ground-based instruments are expected to detect molecular f…
Understanding the atmospheric properties and chemical composition of the ultra-hot Jupiter HAT-P-7b: I. Cloud and chemistry mapping
Ch. Helling, N. Iro, L. Corrales +10
Ultra-hot Jupiters have recently attracted interest from observers and theoreticians alike, as they provide observationally accessible test cases. We apply a hierarchical modelling…
