Helium escaping from the atmosphere of a nearby rocky exoplanet orbiting in a habitable zone
Collin Cherubim, Shreyas Vissapragada, Tim Cunningham +13
Observations of highly irradiated gas giant exoplanets have shown helium escaping from their atmospheres. There is limited evidence for atmospheres on rocky exoplanets, perhaps bec…
Climates of temperate rocky planets with He-dominated atmospheres
Viviane Kuss, Robin Wordsworth, Collin Cherubim +1
We present radiative-convective modeling of rocky exoplanets with -dominated atmospheres and low envelope mass fractions. Helium has a steeper adiabatic temperature profile tha…
Nautilus Space Observatory: Unveiling the Diversity and Origin of Sub-Neptunes with the Nautilus Space Observatory
Luis Welbanks, Kylie E. Hall, Julien de Wit +10
Sub-Neptunes are the most common class of planets in the Galaxy, yet they have no Solar System analog and remain poorly understood as a population. JWST observations have revealed…
Nautilus Space Observatory: The Evolution of Planets and their Atmospheres
Ilaria Pascucci, Noah Tuchow, Yifan Zhou +11
We are just beginning to explore the billion-year evolution from nascent planets in disks to mature planetary systems. Recent discoveries hint at demographic and atmospheric differ…
Analytic Modeling of Tidally Locked Rocky Planet Atmospheres Across Dynamical Regimes
Christopher P. Wirth, Diana Powell, Robin Wordsworth
We present a new first-principles analytic approach to interpreting eclipses and phase curves of rocky planets. Observations with JWST have reported nondetections of atmospheres ar…
