Rocky planets are common around other stars, but their atmospheric properties remain
largely unconstrained. Thanks to a wealth of recent planet discoveries and upcoming …

Abstract The Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging
(DAVINCI) mission described herein has been selected for flight to Venus as part of the …

This work reviews the long-term evolution of the atmosphere of Venus, and modulation of its
composition by interior/exterior cycling. The formation and evolution of Venus's atmosphere …

Obtaining carbon isotopic information for organic carbon from Martian sediments has long
been a goal of planetary science, as it has the potential to elucidate the origin of such …

The radius valley (or gap) in the observed distribution of exoplanet radii, which separates
smaller super-Earths from larger sub-Neptunes, is a key feature that theoretical models must …

Characterisation of atmospheres undergoing photo-evaporation is key to understanding the
formation, evolution, and diversity of planets. However, only a few upper atmospheres that …

Context. Observations by the Kepler satellite have revealed a gap between larger sub-
Neptunes and smaller super-Earths that atmospheric escape models had predicted as an …

Atmospheres are products of time-integrated mass exchange between the surface of a
planet and its interior. On Earth and other planetary bodies, magma oceans likely marked …

Direct imaging is a powerful exoplanet discovery technique that is complementary to other
techniques and offers great promise in the era of 30 m class telescopes. Space-based transit …
