Rocky Worlds Meetings @rockyworlds.bsky.social · 15d

Cloudy with a chance of... haze? Aerosol? Carbon dioxide?!🌦️

Next #RockyWorldsDiscussion on Thu 2 Oct @ 13:00 UTC will feature Kazumasa Ohno (NAOJ) and recent JWST results that lift the hazy veil on the composition of sub-Neptune #exoplanet GJ 1214 b 🪐🔭🧪

An image of the speaker, Kazumasa Ohno. He is smiling and looking into the camera. He is wearing a navy blue cable-knit jumper with a checkered shirt, and glasses. He is against a background of what appears to be other people as the photo is seemingly cropped from a group photo.

My periodic reminder for #astrosci #astrodon #exoplanets Early Career Researchers to please, please, please have a simple web site with your current email address on it - rationale here: kenworthy.space/advice/

A pen sketch of a web page for an astronomer, showing name, email, optional phone number, and professional contact details, with a one sentence summary of their research and an ADS link.

Last day of the #HWO25 meeting! The meeting had great talks, discussions and a lot of enthusiasm for HWO, great to be part of this community 😊!

Space Telescope Science Institute @stsci.edu · Jul 29

The event for NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory brought together scientists, engineers, and industry officials to propel the development of HWO—a mission expected to usher in a new era of astrophysics discovery and address one of humanity's oldest questions "Are we alone?" #HWO2025 #HWO25 🔭 🧪 ☄️

Machine learning 🤖 + spectrometry 🧪 = astrobiology? 🌱🪐☄️🔭 Michael Wong @miquai.bsky.social & Anirudh Prabhu @anirudhprabhu.bsky.social of Carnegie EPL will discuss new biosignature detection methods at the next #RockyWorldsDiscussion Thu 5 June @ 13:00 UTC!

Two images side-by-side of the speakers. Both speakers are smiling and looking at the camera, and both are stood against a blurry, leafy background.

Left: Michael Wong. He is wearing a pink shirt over a graphic tee. The bottom half of it is cut off, but the top half is seen to say "Support Your..." above what appears to be a globe.

Right: Anirudh Prabhu. He is wearing an off-white button-down shirt with a faintly pin-striped black blazer over it.

Artist’s conception of what life could look like on the surface of a rocky exoplanet. A planetary surface, similar to that of Mars or desert-regions of Earth, covers the image horizontally. The sky is a dark brownish orange-red, not dissimilar in colours of the surface. In the foreground, there is a green lagoon-looking pool, with an underwater cave visible beneath the clear water surface. In the background, in the sky, a close-up and seemingly active star (Sun) with three minor planetary bodies in front of it like moons.

Congrats Amy on your new paper :) ! Here we study the metal-enriched Atmospheres in Warm (Super- and Sub-)Neptunes induced by extreme atmospheric escape and how this affects the evolution and spectral signatures of planets at their different ages: arxiv.org/abs/2505.06013

Metal-Enriched Atmospheres in Warm (Super- and Sub-)Neptunes Induced by Extreme Atmospheric Escape

Planet formation impacts exoplanet atmospheres by accreting metals in solid form, leading to atmospheric C/O and S/N ratios that deviate from their host stars. Recent observations indicate differing m...
