Venus as an Exoplanet: I. An Initial Exploration of the 3-D Energy Balance for a CO Exoplanetary Atmosphere Around an M-Dwarf Star
Christopher D. Parkinson, Stephen W. Bougher, Franklin P. Mills +5
The chemical evolution of an exoplanetary Venus-like atmosphere is dependent upon the ultraviolet to near ultraviolet (FUV-NUV) radiation ratio from the parent star, the balance be…
Vertical distribution of cyclopropenylidene and propadiene in the atmosphere of Titan
Karen Willacy, SiHe Chen, Danica J. Adams +1
Titan's atmosphere is a natural laboratory for exploring the photochemical synthesis of organic molecules. Significant recent advances in the study of the atmosphere of Titan inclu…
Seasonal variations of chemical species and haze in Titan's upper atmosphere
Siteng Fan, Daniel Zhao, Cheng Li +3
Seasonal variation is significant in Titan's atmosphere due to the large change of solar insolation resulting from Titan's 26.7° axial tilt relative to the plane of Saturn's orbit.…
Assessing Planetary Complexity and Potential Agnostic Biosignatures using Epsilon Machines
Stuart Bartlett, Jiazheng Li, Lixiang Gu +6
We present a new approach to exoplanet characterisation using techniques from complexity science, with potential applications to biosignature detection. This agnostic method makes…
A bimodal distribution of haze in Pluto's atmosphere
Siteng Fan, Peter Gao, Xi Zhang +8
Pluto, Titan, and Triton make up a unique class of solar system bodies, with icy surfaces and chemically reducing atmospheres rich in organic photochemistry and haze formation. Haz…
Global Climate Model Occultation Lightcurves Tested by August 2018 Ground-Based Stellar Occultation
Sihe Chen, Eliot F. Young, Leslie A. Young +3
Pluto's atmospheric profiles (temperature and pressure) have been studied for decades from stellar occultation lightcurves. In this paper, we look at recent Pluto Global Climate Mo…
