3D simulations of photochemical hazes in the atmosphere of hot Jupiter HD 189733b
Maria E Steinrueck, Adam P. Showman, Panayotis Lavvas +3
Photochemical hazes have been suggested as candidate for the high-altitude aerosols observed in the transmission spectra of many hot Jupiters. We present 3D simulations of the hot…
Exoplanets and the Sun
J. Y-K. Cho, H. Th. Thrastarson, T. T. Koskinen +4
We review the recent progress in understanding the jet structures on exoplanets as well as on and inside the Sun. The emphasis is on the more robust aspects of observation and nume…
A data-driven approach to constraining the atmospheric temperature structure of KELT-9b
L. Fossati, D. Shulyak, A. G. Sreejith +10
Context. Observationally constraining the atmospheric temperature-pressure (TP) profile of exoplanets is an important step forward for improving planetary atmosphere models, furthe…
The High-Energy Radiation Environment Around a 10 Gyr M Dwarf: Habitable at Last?
Kevin France, Girish Duvvuri, Hilary Egan +20
High levels of X-ray and UV activity on young M dwarfs may drive rapid atmospheric escape on temperate, terrestrial planets orbiting within the liquid water habitable zone. However…
Ultraviolet-Based Science in the Solar System: Advances and Next Steps
Amanda R. Hendrix, Tracy M. Becker, Dennis Bodewits +25
We review the importance of recent UV observations of solar system targets and discuss the need for further measurements, instrumentation and laboratory work in the coming decade.…
The Saturn Ring Skimmer Mission Concept: The next step to explore Saturn's rings, atmosphere, interior, and inner magnetosphere
Matthew S. Tiscareno, Mar Vaquero, Matthew M. Hedman +21
The innovative Saturn Ring Skimmer mission concept enables a wide range of investigations that address fundamental questions about Saturn and its rings, as well as giant planets an…
Titan in Transit: Ultraviolet Occultation Observations Reveal a Complex Atmospheric Structure
Patrick D. Tribbett, Tyler D. Robinson, Tommi T. Koskinen
Transit spectroscopy is a key tool for exoplanet atmospheric characterization. However, transit spectrum observations can be limited by aerosol extinction when gas opacities are we…
Compositional Measurements of Saturn's Upper Atmosphere and Rings from Cassini INMS
J. Serigano, S. M. Hörst, C. He +4
The Cassini spacecraft's last orbits directly sampled Saturn's thermosphere and revealed a much more chemically complex environment than previously believed. Observations from the…
Near-ultraviolet Transmission Spectroscopy of HD 209458b: Evidence of Ionized Iron Beyond the Planetary Roche Lobe
Patricio E. Cubillos, Luca Fossati, Tommi Koskinen +5
The inflated transiting hot Jupiter HD 209458b is one of the best studied objects since the beginning of exoplanet characterization. Transmission observations of this system betwee…
