Small Collisions, Big Impact: The Sensitivity of Atmospheric Temperatures to Collision-Induced Absorption

David Dahlbüdding, Tommaso Grassi, Karan Molaverdikhani +3

Collision-induced absorption (CIA) data are relevant to determining atmospheric temperatures and, in turn, the habitability of a diverse set of planetary atmospheres. However, thes…

Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324

The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is a future NASA flagship mission concept identified by the Astro2020 Decadal Survey as the highest priority for large space missions. HWO sh…

Habitability of Tidally Heated H-Dominated Exomoons around Free-Floating Planets

David Dahlbüdding, Tommaso Grassi, Karan Molaverdikhani +4

Exomoons around free-floating planets (FFPs) can survive their host planet's ejection. Such ejections can increase their orbital eccentricity, providing significant tidal heating i…

Is the high-energy environment of K2-18b special?

S. Rukdee, M. Güdel, I. Vilović +7

K2-18b lies near the radius valley that separates super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, marking a key transitional regime in planetary and atmospheric composition. The system offers a val…

Planet Earth in reflected and polarized light -- III. Modeling and analysis of a decade-long catalog of Earthshine observations

Giulia Roccetti, Michael F. Sterzik, Claudia Emde +3

Earthshine observations offer a unique opportunity to study Earth as an exoplanet seen from the Moon. As the Sun-Earth-Moon geometry changes, Earth can be observed as a spatially u…

Detecting alien living worlds and photosynthetic life using imaging polarimetry with the HWO coronagraph

Svetlana Berdyugina, Lucas Patty, Jonathan Grone +10

Our Earth, being the only living planet that we know, provides us with clues that photosynthetic life-forms may be dominant on other exoplanets for billions of years. Spectropolari…

Planet Earth in reflected and polarized light I. 3D radiative transfer simulations of realistic surface-atmosphere systems

Giulia Roccetti, Claudia Emde, Michael F. Sterzik +3

Future telescopes will characterize rocky exoplanets in reflected light, revealing their albedo, which depends on surface, cloud, and atmospheric properties. Identifying these feat…

Vertical structure of an exoplanet's atmospheric jet stream

Julia V. Seidel, Bibiana Prinoth, Lorenzo Pino +21

Ultra-hot Jupiters, an extreme class of planets not found in our solar system, provide a unique window into atmospheric processes. The extreme temperature contrasts between their d…

Presence of liquid water during the evolution of exomoons orbiting ejected free-floating planets

Giulia Roccetti, Tommaso Grassi, Barbara Ercolano +4

Free-floating planets (FFPs) can result from dynamical scattering processes happening in the first few million years of a planetary system's life. Several models predict the possib…
