Exoplanetary science is on the verge of an unprecedented revolution. The thousands of
exoplanets discovered over the past decade have most recently been supplemented by …

In the coming years and decades, advanced space-and ground-based observatories will
allow an unprecedented opportunity to probe the atmospheres and surfaces of potentially …

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 …

Methane has been proposed as an exoplanet biosignature. Imminent observations with the
James Webb Space Telescope may enable methane detections on potentially habitable …

We investigate a new class of habitable planets composed of water-rich interiors with
massive oceans underlying H 2-rich atmospheres, referred to here as Hycean worlds. With …

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

We demonstrate that the deep volatile storage capacity of magma oceans has significant
implications for the bulk composition, interior, and climate state inferred from exoplanet mass …

The search for life in the Universe is a fundamental problem of astrobiology and modern
science. The current progress in the detection of terrestrial-type exoplanets has opened a …

Understanding the impact of active M dwarf stars on the atmospheric equilibrium and
surface conditions of a habitable zone Earth-like planet is key to assessing M dwarf planet …

The search for definitive biosignatures—unambiguous markers of past or present life—is a
central goal of paleobiology and astrobiology. We used pyrolysis–gas chromatography …
