Mars' Young Sedimentary Rocks: Early thinning, late persistence, diachronous boundaries, and a regional dichotomy

Madison L. Turner, Sabrina Y. Khan, Kevin W. Lewis +2

Mars' sedimentary rocks record Gyrs of environmental change. New data enable the first global analysis of paleo-environment relevant physical properties of these rocks, including l…

Feasibility of keeping Mars warm with nanoparticles

Samaneh Ansari, Edwin S. Kite, Ramses Ramirez +2

One-third of Mars' surface has shallow-buried HO, but it is currently too cold for use by life. Proposals to warm Mars using greenhouse gases require a large mass of ingredient…

Why are Mountaintops Cold? The Transition of Surface Lapse Rate on Dry Planets

Bowen Fan, Malte F. Jansen, Michael A. Mischna +1

Understanding surface temperature is important for habitability. Recent work on Mars has found that the dependence of surface temperature on elevation (surface lapse rate) converge…

Narrow loophole for H2-dominated atmospheres on habitable rocky planets around M dwarfs

Renyu Hu, Fabrice Gaillard, Edwin Kite

Habitable rocky planets around M dwarfs that have H2-dominated atmospheres, if they exist, would permit characterizing habitable exoplanets with detailed spectroscopy using JWST, o…

The transmission spectrum of the potentially rocky planet L 98-59 c

Thomas Barclay, Kyle B. Sheppard, Natasha Latouf +32

We present observations of the 1.35+/-0.07 Earth-radius planet L 98-59 c, collected using Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope. L 98-59 is a nearby (10.6 pc), bright (…
