Because of its rotation period of 243 days, Venus is considered a slowly rotating planet. However, its persistent superrotating atmospheric jets, which increase in speed from …
The deep atmosphere of Venus remains mysterious because of the planet’s high, optically thick cloud decks. While phenomena such as the observed decadal fluctuations in sulfur …
Transmission spectroscopy supports the presence of uncharacterized, light-scattering and -absorbing hazes in the atmospheres of many exoplanets. The complexity of factors …
Determining the habitability and interpreting future atmospheric observations of exoplanets requires understanding the atmospheric dynamics and chemistry from a 3D perspective. …
Cloud cover at the planetary limb of water-rich Earth-like planets is likely to weaken chemical signatures in transmission spectra, impeding attempts to characterize these …
Using a three-dimensional general circulation model, we show that the atmospheric dynamics on a tidally locked Earth-like exoplanet, simulated with the planetary and orbital …
Image processing techniques for background star removal from astronomical images have important applications such as streak detection and star/galaxy differentiation in galaxy …
