Today’s paper describes JWST observations of the atmosphere of an Earth-like exoplanet.
The biggest exoplanets could have heat in their deep interiors – what impacts might that have on their atmospheres?
Chemical elements are pretty good history teachers! Today’s paper describes how chemical abundances can tell us about the history of where a planet formed.
Transmission spectroscopy shows /
no gases or features, although /
whether sunspots or hazes /
or both (how in blazes?) /
this atmosphere’s spectrum is sloped!
Interpreting observations of an exoplanet’s atmosphere can be tricky, but in today’s astrobite, planetary rings could be the missing piece of the puzzle
