The CUISINES Framework for Conducting Exoplanet Model Intercomparison Projects, Version 1.0

Linda E. Sohl, Thomas J. Fauchez, Shawn Domagal-Goldman +10

As JWST begins to return observations, it is more important than ever that exoplanet climate models can consistently and correctly predict the observability of exoplanets, retrieva…

Inferring Chemical Disequilibrium Biosignatures for Proterozoic Earth-Like Exoplanets

Amber V. Young, Tyler D. Robinson, Joshua Krissansen-Totton +9

Chemical disequilibrium quantified via available free energy has previously been proposed as a potential biosignature. However, exoplanet biosignature remote sensing work has not y…

CAMEMBERT: A Mini-Neptunes GCM Intercomparison, Protocol Version 1.0. A CUISINES Model Intercomparison Project

Duncan A. Christie, Elspeth K. H. Lee, Hamish Innes +19

With an increased focus on the observing and modelling of mini-Neptunes, there comes a need to better understand the tools we use to model their atmospheres. In this paper, we pres…

Exogeoscience and Its Role in Characterizing Exoplanet Habitability and the Detectability of Life

Cayman T. Unterborn, Paul K. Byrne, Ariel D. Anbar +24

The search for exoplanetary life must encompass the complex geological processes reflected in an exoplanet's atmosphere, or we risk reporting false positive and false negative dete…

The Importance of 3D General Circulation Models for Characterizing the Climate and Habitability of Terrestrial Extrasolar Planets

Eric T. Wolf, Ravi Kopparapu, Vladimir Airapetian +27

While recently discovered exotic new planet-types have both challenged our imaginations and broadened our knowledge of planetary system workings, perhaps the most compelling object…

Albedos, Equilibrium Temperatures, and Surface Temperatures of Habitable Planets

Anthony D. Del Genio, Nancy Y. Kiang, Michael J. Way +8

The potential habitability of known exoplanets is often categorized by a nominal equilibrium temperature assuming a Bond albedo of either 0.3, similar to Earth, or 0. As an indicat…

Exoplanet Science Priorities from the Perspective of Internal and Surface Processes for Silicate and Ice Dominated Worlds

Wade G. Henning, Joseph P. Renaud, Avi M. Mandell +35

The geophysics of extrasolar planets is a scientific topic often regarded as standing largely beyond the reach of near-term observations. This reality in no way diminishes the cent…
