New computed rates for excited S(1D) and SO(1Δ) plus a 1 ppm near-surface atomic sulfur source improve photochemical modeling of sulfur species in Venus and exo-Venus atmospheres.
Climate states on exoplanets with the same atmospheric composition create different reflectance spectra, changing the detectability of atmospheric features and biosignatures, with seasonal variations on high-obliquity worlds adding time-dependent signals.
WASP-96b shows super-solar metallicity of 2-6x stellar, roughly stellar C/O, tentative SO2 consistent with photochemistry, and an optical slope from scattering aerosols, supporting core-accretion formation beyond the water snowline.
