The hunt for potentially habitable rocky planets in our galaxy has been the holy grail of exoplanet studies for decades.
The search for habitable exoplanets is a key priority and sits at the pinnacle of exoplanet science. The science community ...
The NASA/ESA Cassini-Huygens mission explored Saturn and its moons from 2004 to 2017, providing the most detailed images and ...
Using forward models for representative exoplanet atmospheres and a radiometric instrument model, we generated synthetic observational data to explore how well the major C- and O-bearing chemical ...
Beyond our limits Hopes of finding evidence of life on far off alien worlds by studying their atmospheric chemistry have been dashed by a new study that concludes it's almost impossible. The ...
HST hot Jupiter transmission spectral survey: evidence for aerosols and lack of TiO in the atmosphere of WASP-12b By SpaceRef Editor September 24, 2013 ...
Pigment absorbance features are strongly correlated with features of atmospheric spectral transmittance: P680 in Photosystem II with the peak surface incident photon flux density at 685 nm, ...
The trained model can take pixels from any spectral scene to infer an atmospheric transmission profile and automatically perform atmospheric correction. At the core of the approach is a suite of ...
