Synergies between Venus & Exoplanetary Observations
M. J. Way, Colby Ostberg, Bradford J. Foley +9
In this chapter we examine how our knowledge of present day Venus can inform terrestrial exoplanetary science and how exoplanetary science can inform our study of Venus. In a super…
The long-term evolution of the atmosphere of Venus: processes and feedback mechanisms
Cedric Gillmann, M. J. Way, Guillaume Avice +11
This work reviews the long-term evolution of the atmosphere of Venus, and modulation of its composition by interior-exterior cycling. The formation and evolution of Venus's atmosph…
Detectability of Life Using Oxygen on Pelagic Planets and Water Worlds
Donald M Glaser, Hilairy Ellen Hartnett, Steven J. Desch +13
The search for life on exoplanets is one of the grand scientific challenges of our time. The strategy to date has been to find (e.g., through transit surveys like Kepler) Earth-lik…
Towards Space-like Photometric Precision from the Ground with Beam-Shaping Diffusers
Gudmundur Stefansson, Suvrath Mahadevan, Leslie Hebb +21
We demonstrate a path to hitherto unachievable differential photometric precisions from the ground, both in the optical and near-infrared (NIR), using custom-fabricated beam-shapin…
Characterization of the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-32Ab and the M-dwarf companion HAT-P-32B
Ming Zhao, Joseph G. O'Rourke, Jason T. Wright +13
We report secondary eclipse photometry of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-32Ab, taken with Hale/WIRC in H and Ks bands and with Spitzer/IRAC at 3.6 and 4.5 micron. We carried out adaptive op…
Atmospheric Characterization of the Hot Jupiter Kepler-13Ab
Avi Shporer, Joseph G. O'Rourke, Heather A. Knutson +12
Kepler-13Ab (= KOI-13.01) is a unique transiting hot Jupiter. It is one of very few known short-period planets orbiting a hot A-type star, making it one of the hottest planets curr…
Warm Spitzer and Palomar Near-IR Secondary Eclipse Photometry of Two Hot Jupiters: WASP-48b and HAT-P-23b
Joseph G. O'Rourke, Heather A. Knutson, Ming Zhao +9
We report secondary eclipse photometry of two hot Jupiters, WASP-48b and HAT-P-23b, at 3.6 and 4.5 um taken with the InfraRed Array Camera aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope during…
Terrestrial Planet Evolution in the Stagnant-Lid Regime: Size Effects and the Formation of Self-Destabilizing Crust
Joseph G. O'Rourke, Jun Korenaga
The ongoing discovery of terrestrial exoplanets accentuates the importance of studying planetary evolution for a wide range of initial conditions. We perform thermal evolution simu…
Stability of Ice/Rock Mixtures with Application to a Partially Differentiated Titan
Joseph G. O'Rourke, David J. Stevenson
Titan's moment of inertia, calculated assuming hydrostatic equilibrium from gravity field data obtained during the Cassini-Huygens mission, implies an internal mass distribution th…
