Fully fluorinated non-carbon compounds NF3 and SF6 as ideal technosignature gases

Sara Seager, Janusz J. Petkowski, Jingcheng Huang +3

Waste gas products from technological civilizations may accumulate in an exoplanet atmosphere to detectable levels. We propose nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) and sulfur hexafluoride (S…

JWST-TST Proper Motions: I. High-Precision NIRISS Calibration and Large Magellanic Cloud Kinematics

M. Libralato, A. Bellini, R. P. van der Marel +27

We develop and disseminate effective point-spread functions and geometric-distortion solutions for high-precision astrometry and photometry with the JWST NIRISS instrument. We corr…

Can Carbon Fractionation Provide Evidence for Aerial Biospheres in the Atmospheres of Temperate Sub-Neptunes?

Ana Glidden, Sara Seager, Jingcheng Huang +2

The search for signs of life on other worlds has largely focused on terrestrial planets. Recent work, however, argues that life could exist in the atmospheres of temperate sub-Nept…

Photochemical Runaway in Exoplanet Atmospheres: Implications for Biosignatures

Sukrit Ranjan, Sara Seager, Zhuchang Zhan +5

About 2.5 billion years ago, microbes learned to harness plentiful solar energy to reduce CO with HO, extracting energy and producing O as waste. O production from…

Assessment of Ammonia as a Biosignature Gas in Exoplanet Atmospheres

Jingcheng Huang, Sara Seager, Janusz J. Petkowski +2

Ammonia (NH3) in a terrestrial planet atmosphere is generally a good biosignature gas, primarily because terrestrial planets have no significant known abiotic NH3 source. The condi…

Assessment of Isoprene as a Possible Biosignature Gas in Exoplanets with Anoxic Atmospheres

Zhuchang Zhan, Sara Seager, Janusz Jurand Petkowski +4

Research for possible biosignature gases on habitable exoplanet atmosphere is accelerating. We add isoprene, C5H8, to the roster of biosignature gases. We found that formation of i…
