The discovery and characterization of Earth-sized planets that are in, or near, a tidally locked
state are of crucial importance to understanding terrestrial planet evolution. For this purpose …

To identify promising exoplanets for atmospheric characterization and to make the best use
of observational data, a thorough understanding of their atmospheres is needed. Three …

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 …

Spectroscopically, tidal disruption events (TDEs) are characterized by broad (∼ 10 4 km s−
1) emission lines and show a large diversity as well as different line profiles. After carefully …

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

With the commissioning of powerful, new-generation telescopes such as the James Webb
Space Telescope (JWST) and the ground-based Extremely Large Telescopes, the first …

Upcoming telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the European
Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) or the Giant Magellan …

Using a 3D general circulation model, we demonstrate that a confirmed rocky exoplanet and
a primary observational target, TRAPPIST-1e presents an interesting case of climate …

The era of atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets is just around the corner.
Modeling prior to observations is crucial in order to predict the observational challenges and …

Planets residing in circumstellar habitable zones offer us the best opportunities to test
hypotheses of life's potential pervasiveness and complexity. Constraining the precise …
