Doppler-Shifted Alkali D Absorption as Indirect Evidence for Exomoons
Carl Schmidt
Sodium and potassium signatures in transiting exoplanets can be challenging to isolate from the stellar absorption lines. Here, these challenges are discussed in the framework of S…
Sodium and Potassium Signatures of Volcanic Satellites Orbiting Close-in Gas Giant Exoplanets
Apurva V. Oza, Robert E. Johnson, Emmanuel Lellouch +12
Extrasolar satellites are generally too small to be detected by nominal searches. By analogy to the most active body in the Solar System, Io, we describe how sodium (Na I) and pota…
Large Volcanic Event on Io Inferred from Jovian Sodium Nebula Brightening
Jeffrey P. Morgenthaler, Julie A. Rathbun, Carl A. Schmidt +2
Using narrow-band images recorded on over 150 nights by the 35 cm coronagraph which comprises PSI's Io Input/Output Facility (IoIO), we detected a 6-month long enhancement in the J…
On the orbital variability of Ganymede's atmosphere
Francois Leblanc, Apurva V. Oza, Ludivine Leclercq +5
Ganymede's atmosphere is produced by radiative interactions with its surface, sourced by the Sun and the Jovian plasma. The sputtered and thermally desorbed molecules are tracked i…
Dusk Over Dawn O Asymmetry in Europa's Near-Surface Atmosphere
Apurva V. Oza, Francois Leblanc, Robert E. Johnson +4
The evolution of Europa's water-product exosphere over its 85-hour day, based on current models, has not been shown to exhibit any diurnal asymmetries. Here we simulate Europa's ex…
Investigation of the environment around close-in transiting exoplanets using CLOUDY
Jake D. Turner, Duncan Christie, Phil Arras +2
It has been suggested that hot stellar wind gas in a bow shock around an exoplanet is sufficiently opaque to absorb stellar photons and give rise to an observable transit depth at…
