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…
