Blurred Lines: degeneracies in modeling exoplanet atmospheres
Scrutinizing a popular method of characterizing exoplanet atmospheres reveals an inherent degeneracy that may only be overcome in special cases.
Like a Captured Stone: How did Pluto Settle in its Peculiar Orbit?
We dive back into one of the earliest studies of the outer solar system that helped us understand how four gas giants playing a chaotic game of catch could have knocked Pluto into its topsy-turvy orbit.
An Occam’s razor for very-hot hot Jupiters
Cues from stellar atmospheric chemistry can help in explaining the observations of very-hot gas giant atmospheres.
Diagnosing the amnesia of Exoplanetary Systems
How can size ordering of multiplanet systems be used to quantify the information content that these systems may retain about their formation history? Think information entropy.
