Equifinality of Venus-like CO Atmospheres

Tereza Constantinou, Oliver Shorttle, Harrison Nicholls

While Earth locks much of its carbon in its crust as carbonates, Venus retains a comparable carbon inventory almost entirely in its atmosphere as CO. On Earth, the geological c…

Powerful lightning on Venus constrained by atmospheric NO

Tereza Constantinou, Oliver Shorttle, Paul B. Rimmer

Signs of lightning on Venus have long been sought, including by space missions and ground-based telescopes searching for optical flashes, plasma waves, or radio signatures. These e…

Prediction of sulphate hazes in the lower Venus atmosphere

Peter Woitke, Manuel Scherf, Christiane Helling +8

We study the amount, size distribution and material composition of (sub-)mic aerosol particles in the lower Venus atmosphere < 50 km. Our GGchem phase-equilibrium model predicts me…

Abiotic Ozone in the Observable Atmospheres of Venus and Venus-like Exoplanets

Robb Calder, Oliver Shorttle, Sean Jordan +2

Ozone is a potential biosignature and disambuguator between Earth-like and Venus-like exoplanets due to its association on Earth with photosynthetically produced oxygen (O). Ho…

Comparative biosignatures with systemic retrievals

Tereza Constantinou, Oliver Shorttle, Miles Cranmer +1

The discovery of inhabited exoplanets hinges on identifying biosignature gases. JWST can reveal biosignature gases, though current discoveries have yet to evidence life. The centra…

A dry Venusian interior constrained by atmospheric chemistry

Tereza Constantinou, Oliver Shorttle, Paul B. Rimmer

Venus's climatic history provides powerful constraint on the location of the inner-edge of the liquid-water habitable zone. However, two very different histories of water on Venus…

Photochemistry of Venus-Like Planets Orbiting K- and M-Dwarf Stars

Sean Jordan, Paul B. Rimmer, Oliver Shorttle +1

Compared to the diversity seen in exoplanets, Venus is a veritable astrophysical twin of the Earth, however its global cloud layer truncates features in transmission spectroscopy,…

Hydroxide salts in the clouds of Venus: their effect on the sulfur cycle and cloud droplet pH

Paul B. Rimmer, Sean Jordan, Tereza Constantinou +4

The depletion of SO and HO in and above the clouds of Venus (45 -- 65 km) cannot be explained by known gas-phase chemistry and the observed composition of the atmosphere. W…
