Habitable Evaporated Cores: Transforming Mini-Neptunes into Super-Earths in the Habitable Zones of M Dwarfs
Rodrigo Luger, Rory Barnes, Eric Lopez +3
We show that photoevaporation of small gaseous exoplanets ("mini-Neptunes") in the habitable zones of M dwarfs can remove several Earth masses of hydrogen and helium from these pla…
Discriminating Between Cloudy, Hazy and Clearsky Exoplanets Using Refraction
Amit Misra, Victoria Meadows
We propose a method to distinguish between cloudy, hazy and clearsky (free of clouds and hazes) exoplanet atmospheres that could be applicable to upcoming large aperture space and…
The Effects of Refraction on Transit Transmission Spectroscopy: Application to Earth-like Exoplanets
Amit Misra, Victoria Meadows, Dave Crisp
We quantify the effects of refraction in transit transmission spectroscopy on spectral absorption features and on temporal variations that could be used to obtain altitude-dependen…
Abiotic Ozone and Oxygen in Atmospheres Similar to Prebiotic Earth
Shawn D. Domagal-Goldman, Antígona Segura, Mark W. Claire +2
The search for life on planets outside our solar system will use spectroscopic identification of atmospheric biosignatures. The most robust remotely-detectable potential biosignatu…
Detection of Ocean Glint and Ozone Absorption Using LCROSS Earth Observations
Tyler D. Robinson, Kimberly Ennico, Victoria S. Meadows +4
The Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) observed the distant Earth on three occasions in 2009. These data span a range of phase angles, including a rare crescen…
Effects of Extreme Obliquity Variations on the Habitability of Exoplanets
J. C. Armstrong, R. Barnes, S. Domagal-Goldman +3
We explore the impact of obliquity variations on planetary habitability in hypothetical systems with high mutual inclination. We show that large amplitude, high frequency obliquity…
