Accelerating Chemical Kinetics for Exoplanet Atmospheres using Neural Networks
Isaac Malsky, Xi Zhang, Tiffany Kataria +5
Observations increasingly reveal the coupled radiative, chemical, and dynamical processes that shape exoplanet atmospheres. Interpreting these atmospheres requires models that can…
Alkali Metallicity, Mineral Clouds, and Deep Atmospheric Variability on Jupiter
Xi Zhang, Jiheng Hu, Cheng Li +1
The bulk elemental abundances of Jupiter provide critical insights into its formation history and interior structure. Recent observations by the Juno Microwave Radiometer (MWR) rev…
Juno Microwave Observations Reveal Jupiter's Deep Alkali-Chlorine Relation
Xi Zhang, Jiheng Hu, Cheng Li +2
The longest-wavelength channel of the Juno Microwave Radiometer (MWR) probes Jupiter's kilobar atmosphere through free electrons produced by sodium and potassium ionization. Under…
CARMApy: An Open-Source Python Framework for Simulating Microphysical Clouds in Planetary Atmospheres
Wolf Cukier, Diana Powell, Xi Zhang +3
CARMApy is a new open-source python code that performs bin-scheme microphysical modeling of clouds in exoplanet atmospheres. It models key cloud properties such as particle size di…
Three dimensional temporal evolution of photochemical haze in exoplanet atmospheres I. Description and test application to HD 189733b
Elspeth K. H. Lee, Maria E. Steinrueck, Kazumasa Ohno +2
The formation and global spatial distribution of photochemically produced haze particles remain a key process in exoplanet atmospheres for understanding their observed properties.…
Volatile-rich Sub-Neptunes as Hydrothermal Worlds: The Case of K2-18 b
Cindy N. Luu, Xinting Yu, Christopher R. Glein +8
Temperate exoplanets between the sizes of Earth and Neptune, known as "sub-Neptunes", have emerged as intriguing targets for astrobiology. It is unknown whether these planets resem…
Nitrogen Loss from Pluto's Birth to the Present Day via Atmospheric Escape, Photochemical Destruction, and Impact Erosion
Perianne E. Johnson, Leslie A. Young, David Nesvorny +1
We estimate the loss of nitrogen from Pluto over its lifetime, including the giant planet instability period, which we term the "Wild Years." We analyze the orbital migration of 53…
Inhomogeneous terminators on the exoplanet WASP-39 b
Néstor Espinoza, Maria E. Steinrueck, James Kirk +40
Transmission spectroscopy has been a workhorse technique over the past two decades to constrain the physical and chemical properties of exoplanet atmospheres. One of its classical…
Probing Cold-to-Temperate Exoplanetary Atmospheres: The Role of Water Condensation on Surface Identification with JWST
Ziyu Huang, Xinting Yu, Shang-Min Tsai +5
Understanding the surface temperature and interior structure of cold-to-temperate sub-Neptunes is critical for assessing their habitability, yet direct observations are challenging…
Early Release Science of the Exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRSpec G395H
Lili Alderson, Hannah R. Wakeford, Munazza K. Alam +89
Measuring the abundances of carbon and oxygen in exoplanet atmospheres is considered a crucial avenue for unlocking the formation and evolution of exoplanetary systems. Access to a…
