Rocky planets are common around other stars, but their atmospheric properties remain
largely unconstrained. Thanks to a wealth of recent planet discoveries and upcoming …

Finding life on exoplanets from telescopic observations is an ultimate goal of exoplanet
science. Life produces gases and other substances, such as pigments, which can have …

Most known terrestrial planets orbit small stars with radii less than 60 per cent of that of the
Sun,. Theoretical models predict that these planets are more vulnerable to atmospheric loss …

A key legacy of the recently launched the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)
mission will be to provide the astronomical community with many of the best transiting …

TRAPPIST-1 is a fantastic nearby (∼ 39.14 light years) planetary system made of at least
seven transiting terrestrial-size, terrestrial-mass planets all receiving a moderate amount of …

The full-phase infrared light curves of low-eccentricity hot Jupiters show a trend of increasing
fractional dayside–nightside brightness temperature difference with increasing incident …

A planetary atmosphere is the outer gas layer of a planet. Besides its scientific significance
among the first and most accessible planetary layers observed from space, it is closely …

Abstract The TRAPPIST-1 Habitable Atmosphere Intercomparison (THAI) is a community
project that aims to quantify how differences in general circulation models (GCMs) could …

We investigate the atmospheric dynamics of terrestrial planets in synchronous rotation within
the habitable zone of low-mass stars using the Community Atmosphere Model. The surface …

Simulations with a 3D general circulation model (GCM) suggest that one potential driver
behind the observed radius inflation in hot Jupiters may be the downward advection of …
