A Fast and Physically Grounded Ocean Model for GCMs: The Dynamical Slab Ocean Model of the Generic-PCM (rev. 3423)

Siddharth Bhatnagar, Francis Codron, Ehouarn Millour +5

Ocean dynamics are often sidelined in exoplanet climate studies due to the high computational cost of fully coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models (GCMs). However, oce…

Atmospheric Collapse and Habitability on Tidally-Locked Exoplanets

Keigo Taniguchi, Takanori Kodama, Martin Turbet +3

The habitability of terrestrial exoplanets orbiting M dwarfs is a key topic in the search for extraterrestrial life. The climates of these planets differ significantly from the Ear…

Constraints on the possible atmospheres on TRAPPIST-1 b: insights from 3D climate modeling

Alice Maurel, Martin Turbet, Elsa Ducrot +13

JWST observations of the secondary eclipse of TRAPPIST-1 b at 12.8 and 15 microns revealed a very bright dayside. These measurements are consistent with an absence of atmosphere. P…

SpeCT: A state-of-the-art tool to calculate correlated-k tables and continua of CO-HO-N gas mixtures

G. Chaverot, M. Turbet, H. Tran +4

A key challenge in modeling (exo)planetary atmospheres lies in generating extensive opacity datasets that cover the wide variety of possible atmospheric composition, pressure, and…

Radial velocity homogeneous analysis of M dwarfs observed with HARPS. II. Detection limits and planetary occurrence statistics

L. Mignon, X. Delfosse, N. Meunier +13

We re-determine planetary occurrences around M dwarfs using 20 years of observations from HARPS on 197 targets. The first aim of this study is to propose more precise occurrence ra…

The Role of Atmospheric Composition in Defining the Habitable Zone Limits and Supporting E. coli Growth

Asena Kuzucan, Emeline Bolmont, Guillaume Chaverot +4

Studying exoplanet atmospheres is essential for assessing their potential to host liquid water and their capacity to support life (their habitability). Each atmosphere uniquely inf…

Resilience of Snowball Earth to Stochastic Events

Guillaume Chaverot, Andrea Zorzi, Xuesong Ding +6

Earth went through at least two periods of global glaciation (i.e., ``Snowball Earth'' states) during the Neoproterozoic, the shortest of which (the Marinoan) may not have lasted s…

The CUISINES Framework for Conducting Exoplanet Model Intercomparison Projects, Version 1.0

Linda E. Sohl, Thomas J. Fauchez, Shawn Domagal-Goldman +10

As JWST begins to return observations, it is more important than ever that exoplanet climate models can consistently and correctly predict the observability of exoplanets, retrieva…

Discovery of a cold giant planet and mass measurement of a hot super-Earth in the multi-planetary system WASP-132

N. Grieves, F. Bouchy, D. J. Armstrong +25

Hot Jupiters generally do not have nearby planet companions, as they may have cleared out other planets during their inward migration from more distant orbits. This gives evidence…

A cool runaway greenhouse without surface magma ocean

Franck Selsis, Jérémy Leconte, Martin Turbet +2

Water vapour atmospheres with content equivalent to the Earth's oceans, resulting from impacts or a high insolation, were found to yield a surface magma ocean. This was, however, a…

Water Condensation Zones around Main Sequence Stars

Martin Turbet, Thomas J. Fauchez, Jeremy Leconte +10

Understanding the set of conditions that allow rocky planets to have liquid water on their surface -- in the form of lakes, seas or oceans -- is a major scientific step to determin…

Three long period transiting giant planets from TESS

Rafael Brahm, Solène Ulmer-Moll, Melissa J. Hobson +52

We report the discovery and orbital characterization of three new transiting warm giant planets. These systems were initially identified as presenting single transit events in the…

How does the background atmosphere affect the onset of the runaway greenhouse ?

G. Chaverot, M. Turbet, E. Bolmont +1

As the insolation of an Earth-like (exo)planet with a large amount of water increases, its surface and atmospheric temperatures also increase, eventually leading to a catastrophic…

Day-night cloud asymmetry prevents early oceans on Venus but not on Earth

Martin Turbet, Emeline Bolmont, Guillaume Chaverot +3

Earth has had oceans for nearly four billion years and Mars had lakes and rivers 3.5-3.8 billion years ago. However, it is still unknown whether water has ever condensed on the sur…
