Simulations of Water Vapor and Clouds on Rapidly Rotating and Tidally Locked Planets: a 3D Model Intercomparison

Jun Yang, Jeremy Leconte, Eric T. Wolf +4

Robustly modeling the inner edge of the habitable zone is essential for determining the most promising potentially habitable exoplanets for atmospheric characterization. Global cli…

TESS observations of the WASP-121 b phase curve

Tansu Daylan, Maximilian N. Günther, Thomas Mikal-Evans +23

We study the red-optical photometry of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121 b as observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and model its atmosphere through a radiative…

Absence of a thick atmosphere on the terrestrial exoplanet LHS 3844b

Laura Kreidberg, Daniel D. B. Koll, Caroline Morley +16

Most known terrestrial planets orbit small stars with radii less than 60% that of the Sun. Theoretical models predict that these planets are more vulnerable to atmospheric loss tha…

Hot Hydrogen Climates near the inner edge of the Habitable Zone

Daniel D. B. Koll, Timothy W. Cronin

Young terrestrial planets can capture or outgas hydrogen-rich atmospheres with tens to hundreds of bars of H2, which persist for 100 Myrs or longer. Although the earliest habitable…

Identifying Candidate Atmospheres on Rocky M dwarf Planets via Eclipse Photometry

Daniel D. B. Koll, Matej Malik, Megan Mansfield +4

Most rocky planets in the galaxy orbit a cool host star, and there is large uncertainty among theoretical models whether these planets can retain an atmosphere. The James Webb Spac…

Identifying Atmospheres on Rocky Exoplanets Through Inferred High Albedo

Megan Mansfield, Edwin S. Kite, Renyu Hu +4

The upcoming launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) means that we will soon have the capability to characterize the atmospheres of rocky exoplanets. However, it is still u…
