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: II. Refining contrast estimates for rocky exoplanets with ELT and HWO
Giulia Roccetti, Michael F. Sterzik, Julia V. Seidel +3
The characterization of nearby rocky exoplanets will become feasible with the next generation of telescopes, such as the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) and the mission concept Hab…
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…
