Origin of Life Molecules in the Atmosphere After Big Impacts on the Early Earth
Nicholas F. Wogan, David C. Catling, Kevin J. Zahnle +1
The origin of life on Earth would benefit from a prebiotic atmosphere that produced nitriles, like HCN, which enable ribonucleotide synthesis. However, geochemical evidence suggest…
A reflective, metal-rich atmosphere for GJ 1214b from its JWST phase curve
Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Michael Zhang, Jacob L. Bean +30
There are no planets intermediate in size between Earth and Neptune in our Solar System, yet these objects are found around a substantial fraction of other stars. Population statis…
The puzzle of the formation of T8 dwarf Ross 458c
Josefine Gaarn, Ben Burningham, Jacqueline K. Faherty +7
At the lowest masses, the distinction between brown dwarfs and giant exoplanets is often blurred and literature classifications rarely reflect the deuterium burning boundary. Atmos…
A 1.46-2.48 m Spectroscopic Atlas of a T6 Dwarf (1060 K) Atmosphere with IGRINS: First Detections of HS and H, and Verification of HO, CH, and NH Line Lists
Megan E. Tannock, Stanimir Metchev, Callie E. Hood +5
We present Gemini South/IGRINS observations of the 1060 K T6 dwarf 2MASS J081730016155158 with unprecedented resolution () and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR >…
The impact of ultraviolet heating and cooling on the dynamics and observability of lava planet atmospheres
T. Giang Nguyen, Nicolas B. Cowan, Raymond T. Pierrehumbert +2
Lava planets have non-global, condensible atmospheres similar to icy bodies within the solar system. Because they depend on interior dynamics, studying the atmospheres of lava plan…
K2 and Spitzer phase curves of the rocky ultra-short-period planet K2-141 b hint at a tenuous rock vapor atmosphere
S. Zieba, M. Zilinskas, L. Kreidberg +11
K2-141 b is a transiting, small (1.5 Re) ultra-short-period (USP) planet discovered by Kepler orbiting a K-dwarf host star every 6.7 hours. The planet's high surface temperature ma…
