A retrieval technique infers surface gas fluxes from exoplanet spectra via inversion of a photochemical-climate model, demonstrated on synthetic TRAPPIST-1 e data with an Archean-like biosphere.
Introduces a reflection spectroscopy metric and uses KELT-9 injection-recovery tests to demonstrate that rotational line broadening from rapid stellar rotation and large misalignments must be included when assessing detectability of exoplanet reflected spectra.
The paper outlines a staged observational campaign with the Nautilus Space Observatory for astrometric detection of exomoons around nearby imaged exoplanets.
N-body simulations demonstrate long-term dynamical stability of the HD 20794 system across a range of inclinations, with planet d identified as the lowest-mass high-eccentricity HZ-crossing planet.
Joint radial-velocity analysis revises GJ 3378b's period to 21.45 days and minimum mass to 2.3 Earth masses, placing the habitable-zone planet near the cosmic shoreline.
Simulations show LIFE could use 25-80 m baselines or discrete values with under 10% loss in planet yield and fringe tracking.
Mars provides a real-world case study of processes like volatile loss, climate evolution, and magnetism that determine habitability on small rocky planets at the edge of habitable conditions.
