Hydrolyzed Hazes on Water-rich Exoplanets: Optical Constants and Detectability

Cara Pesciotta, Sarah M. Hörst, Michael J. Radke +3

Observations of temperate sub-Neptunes suggest active chemical environments, finding evidence of both water vapor and photochemical hazes in their atmospheres. Hazes formed in wate…

Plan 9: Detecting Atmospheric Deterrence Against Interstellar Monsters

David R. Rice, Michael J. Radke

Exoplanet atmospheres are usually discussed as tracers of climate, chemistry, and habitability, but they may also preserve signatures of planetary defense. We consider three folklo…

Optical Properties of Organic Haze Analogues in Water-rich Exoplanet Atmospheres Observable with JWST

Chao He, Michael Radke, Sarah E. Moran +9

JWST has begun its scientific mission, which includes the atmospheric characterization of transiting exoplanets. Some of the first exoplanets to be observed by JWST have equilibriu…

Titan Atmospheric Chemistry Revealed by Low-temperature N2-CH4 Plasma Discharge Experiments

Chao He, Joseph Serigano, Sarah M. Horst +2

Chemistry in Titan's N2-CH4 atmosphere produces complex organic aerosols. The chemical processes and the resulting organic compounds are still far from understood, although extensi…

Triton Haze Analogues: the Role of Carbon Monoxide in Haze Formation

Sarah E. Moran, Sarah M. Hörst, Chao He +7

Triton is the largest moon of the Neptune system and possesses a thin nitrogen atmosphere with trace amounts of carbon monoxide and methane, making it of similar composition to tha…

Optical Constants of Titan Haze Analogue from 0.4 to 3.5 μm: Determined Using Vacuum Spectroscopy

Chao He, Sarah M. Horst, Michael Radke +1

Titan's thick atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen and methane. Complex chemistry happening in Titan's atmosphere produces optically thick organic hazes. These hazes play s…
