Coupled Photochemical-Climate Modeling of Plausible Tenuous Outgassed Atmospheres on the TRAPPIST-1 Planets

Megan Gialluca, Victoria Meadows, Andrew Lincowski +4

Available JWST observations TRAPPIST-1 system have suggested that several of the planets are likely airless, or possess a very tenuous atmosphere. However, the high atmospheric esc…

Investigation of Venus' thermal history, crustal evolution, and core dynamics with a coupled interior-lithosphere-atmosphere model

Rodolfo Garcia, Rory Barnes, Peter E. Driscoll +2

We simulate Venus' evolution with a coupled one-dimensional solar-atmosphere-lithosphere-mantle-core model to predict currently unobservable features and its eruptive mass flux. We…

The Third Option: Color Phase Curves to Characterize the Atmospheres of Temperate Rocky Exoplanets

Drake Deming, Andrew Lincowski, Laura Kreidberg +6

Detecting and characterizing the atmospheres of rocky exoplanets has proven to be challenging for JWST. Transit spectroscopy of the TRAPPIST-1 planets has been impacted by the effe…

First JWST thermal phase curves of temperate terrestrial exoplanets reveal no thick atmosphere around TRAPPIST-1 b and c

Michaël Gillon, Elsa Ducrot, Taylor J. Bell +30

We report JWST/MIRI 15 m phase curves of TRAPPIST-1 b and c, revealing thermal emission consistent with their irradiation levels, assuming no efficient heat redistribution. We f…

Statistical geochemical constraints on present-day water outgassing as a source of secondary atmospheres on the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets

Trent B. Thomas, Victoria S. Meadows, Joshua Krissansen-Totton +3

The TRAPPIST-1 planetary system is observationally favorable for studying if planets orbiting M stars can retain atmospheres and host habitable conditions. Recent JWST secondary ec…

The Implications of Thermal Hydrodynamic Atmospheric Escape on the TRAPPIST-1 Planets

Megan T. Gialluca, Rory Barnes, Victoria S. Meadows +3

JWST observations of the 7-planet TRAPPIST-1 system will provide an excellent opportunity to test outcomes of stellar-driven evolution of terrestrial planetary atmospheres, includi…

Retrieved Atmospheres and Inferred Surface Properties for Exoplanets Using Transmission and Reflected Light Spectroscopy

Samantha Gilbert-Janizek, Victoria S. Meadows, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger

Future astrophysics missions will seek extraterrestrial life via transmission and direct imaging observations. To assess habitability and biosignatures, we need robust retrieval to…

A roadmap for the atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets with JWST

TRAPPIST-1 JWST Community Initiative, :, Julien de Wit +80

Ultra-cool dwarf stars are abundant, long-lived, and uniquely suited to enable the atmospheric study of transiting terrestrial companions with JWST. Amongst them, the most prominen…
