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…
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…
Spectrum-driven Planetary Deglaciation Due to Increases in Stellar Luminosity
Aomawa L. Shields, Cecilia M. Bitz, Victoria S. Meadows +2
Distant planets in globally ice-covered, "snowball", states may depend on increases in their host stars' luminosity to become hospitable for surface life. Using a General Circulati…
