Atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets in the mid-infrared: biosignatures, habitability & diversity
Sascha P. Quanz, Olivier Absil, Daniel Angerhausen +45
Exoplanet science is one of the most thriving fields of modern astrophysics. A major goal is the atmospheric characterization of dozens of small, terrestrial exoplanets in order to…
Impact of Space Weather on Climate and Habitability of Terrestrial Type Exoplanets
V. S. Airapetian, R. Barnes, O. Cohen +43
The current progress in the detection of terrestrial type exoplanets has opened a new avenue in the characterization of exoplanetary atmospheres and in the search for biosignatures…
The Need for Laboratory Measurements and Ab Initio Studies to Aid Understanding of Exoplanetary Atmospheres
Jonathan J. Fortney, Tyler D. Robinson, Shawn Domagal-Goldman +85
We are now on a clear trajectory for improvements in exoplanet observations that will revolutionize our ability to characterize their atmospheric structure, composition, and circul…
Theoretical Reflectance Spectra of Earth-Like Planets through Their Evolutions: Impact of Clouds on the Detectability of Oxygen, Water, and Methane with Future Direct Imaging Missions
Yui Kawashima, Sarah Rugheimer
In the near-future, atmospheric characterization of Earth-like planets in the habitable zone will become possible via reflectance spectroscopy with future telescopes such as the pr…
Reconstructing Extreme Space Weather from Planet Hosting Stars
V. S. Airapetian, V. Adibekyan, M. Ansdell +80
The field of exoplanetary science is making rapid progress both in statistical studies of exoplanet properties as well as in individual characterization. As space missions provide…
Ultraviolet Spectropolarimetry as a Tool for Understanding the Diversity of Exoplanetary Atmospheres
L. Fossati, L. Rossi, D. Stam +19
The polarization state of starlight reflected by a planetary atmosphere uniquely reveals coverage, particle size, and composition of aerosols as well as changing cloud patterns. It…
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…
Hydrogen Cyanide in Nitrogen-Rich Atmospheres of Rocky Exoplanets
Paul B. Rimmer, Sarah Rugheimer
Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a key feedstock molecule for the production of life's building blocks. The formation of HCN in an N-rich atmospheres requires first that the triple bo…
A Hot Ultraviolet Flare on the M Dwarf Star GJ 674
C. S. Froning, A. Kowalski, K. France +10
As part of the Mega MUSCLES Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Treasury program, we obtained time-series ultraviolet spectroscopy of the M2.5V star, GJ~674. During the FUV monitoring obs…
