The dark and featureless surface of rocky exoplanet LHS 3844 b from JWST mid-infrared spectroscopy

Sebastian Zieba, Laura Kreidberg, Brandon P. Coy +13

JWST has opened a new era in the study of rocky exoplanets, enabling direct characterization of their surfaces with mid-infrared spectroscopy. Different types of rock have distinct…

A research roadmap for assessing the feasibility of warming Mars

E. S. Kite, A. Essunfeld, M. H. Hecht +22

This roadmap outlines research pathways to determine whether Mars could be warmed with non-biological methods. It does not presuppose that warming Mars is desirable; its purpose is…

Applied Astrobiology: An Integrated Approach to the Future of Life in Space

Robin Wordsworth, Collin Cherubim, Shannon Nangle +13

Searching for extraterrestrial life and supporting human life in space are traditionally regarded as separate challenges. However, there are significant benefits to an approach tha…

An Oxidation Gradient Straddling the Small Planet Radius Valley

Collin Cherubim, Robin Wordsworth, Dan Bower +3

We present a population-level view of volatile gas species (H, He, HO, O, CO, CO, CH) distribution during the sub-Neptune to rocky planet transition, revealing…

Greenhouse warming potential of a suite of gas species on early Mars evaluated using a radiative-convective climate model

Jason Jorge, Robin Wordsworth, Danica Adams

Abundant geomorphological and geochemical evidence of liquid water on the surface of early Mars during the late Noachian and early Hesperian periods needs to be reconciled with a f…

The Feasibility of Asynchronous Rotation via Thermal Tides for Diverse Atmospheric Compositions

Andrea M. Salazar, Robin Wordsworth

The equilibrium rotation rate of a planet is determined by the sum of torques acting on its solid body. For planets with atmospheres, the dominant torques are usually the gravitati…

Nightside Clouds on Tidally-locked Terrestrial Planets Mimic Atmosphere-Free Scenarios

Diana Powell, Robin Wordsworth, Karin Öberg

We investigate the impact of nightside cloud formation on the observable night-day contrast of tidally-locked terrestrial planet atmospheres. We demonstrate that, in the case where…
