TRAPPIST-1 is a fantastic nearby (∼ 39.14 light years) planetary system made of at least
seven transiting terrestrial-size, terrestrial-mass planets all receiving a moderate amount of …

Venus is the planet in the Solar System most similar to Earth in terms of size and (probably)
bulk composition. Until the mid-20th century, scientists thought that Venus was a verdant …

The population of planets smaller than approximately 1.7 Earth radii (R⊕) is widely
interpreted as consisting of rocky worlds, generally referred to as super-Earths. This picture …

Mars exploration motivates the search for extraterrestrial life, the development of space
technologies, and the design of human missions and habitations. Here, we seek new …

The habitability of planets around M dwarfs (≲ 0.5 M⊙) can be affected by the X-rays+
extreme UV (XUV) emission of these stars, with flares occasionally increasing the XUV flux …

Here we examine how our knowledge of present day Venus can inform terrestrial
exoplanetary science and how exoplanetary science can inform our study of Venus. In a …

When the solar wind interacts with the ionosphere of an unmagnetized planet, it induces
currents that form an induced magnetosphere. These currents and their associated magnetic …

The dual spacecraft mission BepiColombo is the first joint mission between the European
Space Agency (ESA) and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to explore …

Using data from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission, we explore
the plasma properties of Martian magnetotail current sheets (CS), to further understand the …

Planetary magnetic fields are important indicators of planetary processes and evolution,
from a planet's outer core to its surface (if it possesses one) to its atmosphere and near …
