A mirage of the cosmic shoreline: Venus-like clouds as a statistical false positive for exoplanet atmospheric erosion
Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, Victoria S. Meadows, Andrew P. Lincowski
Near-term studies of Venus-like atmospheres with JWST promise to advance our knowledge of terrestrial planet evolution. However, the remote study of Venus in the Solar System and t…
ESA Voyage 2050 White Paper: Detecting life outside our solar system with a large high-contrast-imaging mission
Ignas Snellen, Simon Albrecht, Guillem Anglada-Escude +64
In this white paper, we recommend the European Space Agency plays a proactive role in developing a global collaborative effort to construct a large high-contrast imaging space tele…
Observing Isotopologue Bands in Terrestrial Exoplanet Atmospheres with the James Webb Space Telescope---Implications for Identifying Past Atmospheric and Ocean Loss
Andrew P. Lincowski, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, Victoria S. Meadows
Terrestrial planets orbiting M dwarfs may soon be observed with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to characterize their atmospheric composition and search for signs of habitabi…
The Detectability and Characterization of the TRAPPIST-1 Exoplanet Atmospheres with JWST
Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, Victoria S. Meadows, Andrew P. Lincowski
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will offer the first opportunity to characterize terrestrial exoplanets with sufficient precision to identify high mean molecular weight atmos…
VPLanet: The Virtual Planet Simulator
Rory Barnes, Rodrigo Luger, Russell Deitrick +14
We describe a software package called VPLanet that simulates fundamental aspects of planetary system evolution over Gyr timescales, with a focus on investigating habitable worlds.…
The remote detectability of Earth's biosphere through time and the importance of UV capability for characterizing habitable exoplanets
Christopher T. Reinhard, Edward W. Schwieterman, Stephanie L. Olson +10
Thousands of planets beyond our solar system have been discovered to date, dozens of which are rocky in composition and are orbiting within the circumstellar habitable zone of thei…
Detecting Ocean Glint on Exoplanets Using Multiphase Mapping
Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, Victoria S. Meadows, Guadalupe Tovar Mendoza +4
Rotational mapping and glint are two proposed methods to directly detect liquid water on the surface of habitable exoplanets. However, false positives for both methods may prevent…
