Detecting habitable exoplanet atmospheres with LIFE, the Large Interferometer for Exoplanets
Sarah Rugheimer, Aiden Weatherbee, James Fecanin +21
A key goal of astronomers with the next generation telescopes is to detect signs of life in exoplanet atmospheres. NASA's next flagship is the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). I…
High Resolution Optical Methane Linelist from observations of Titan for Cross-Correlation studies
Rafael Rianço-Silva, Pedro Machado, Clara Sousa Silva +2
Exoplanet atmosphere characterization heavily relies on molecular spectroscopic data. Despite efforts to obtain comprehensive spectral libraries for the chemical characterization o…
VVV-WIT-13: an eruptive young star with cool molecular features
Zhen Guo, Philip Lucas, Sergey N. Yurchenko +27
Here we investigate an infrared eruptive source, identified from the decade-long VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea survey (VVV). We named this target after a group of variable sour…
An ab initio spectroscopic model of the molecular oxygen atmospheric and infrared bands
Wilfrid Somogyi, Sergey N. Yurchenko, Gap-Sue Kim
We present a unified variational treatment of the magnetic dipole matrix elements, Einstein coefficients and line strength for general open-shell diatomic molecules in the general…
