Moonspotting: An Indirect Channel to Observe Rocky Planet Moons
Observing exoplanets is hard and observing exomoons is even harder. Today’s author proposes a new channel through which we might be able to see these moons!

Water vapor detection of exoplanet atmospheres has been a hot topic. This scientific question is included in the first set of results published by JWST. But it’s even more difficult to detect the presence of water vapor on exoplanets in the Neptune desert. This year, researchers detected water vapor on TOI-674 b for the first time by analyzing atmospheric transmission spectrum. It’s very exciting. This discovery provides an important target for subsequent detection with higher precision by JWST.
Today’s paper examines the reaction between atmosphere and magma in exoplanets, a key factor in shaping an exoplanet atmosphere

After the boom in exoplanet atmosphere research this past decade, what will the field look like going forward? Find out at Prof. Laura Kreidberg’s #AAS240 Annie Jump Cannon Award plenary talk!
Can’t wait for JWST science data to estimate its precision? Today’s authors would like to interest you in a lamp.
