Determining the composition of an exoplanet atmosphere relies on the presence of detectable spectral features. The strongest spectral features, including DMS, look approximately Gaussian. Here, I...

For our #JWSTCycle4 proposal on atmospheric characterization (unrelated to habitability nor astrobiology), the 1st weakness is "not clear enough what implications would it have for other classes of space creatures" -- some kind of cruel joke I don't get?.

Does that mean Moore's Law for JWST proposals? The number doubles every 2 cycles.
@ShamiTsai 2416 proposals ! That's 25% increase relative to 1931 from the last cycle. 🤯.

Looks like there are ~2000 new JWST submissions within the last 24 hrs based on the index I saw. #JWSTCycle4.

Just realized overleaf has no limit on the number of projects, even with the free version. I have ~100 projects over the past year. Soon this would be messy to organize.

Recent research highlights from AAS Nova: an interesting new temperature rocky planet GJ-12b, the impact of water photolysis, sulfur biosignatures on Hycean planets, and artificial greenhouse gases as technosignatures. Featuring three studies from @nogreenstars's group at UCR.
Monthly Roundup: The Allure of Temperate Exoplanets. This month, we’re exploring temperate exoplanets: how to find them, how to model them, and how to figure out if they host life.

Super neat idea!.
Returning here for a paper!! This time: constraining the magnetic fields of exoplanets by measuring ion--neutral velocity differences:

Shawn reminded us of the bio signature assessment standards (Meadows+2022). A sobering guidelines to keep in mind while dealing with exciting detections.

#exoplanets5 some of my favorite quotes so far:.1. HJs offer a high-T, high-P laboratory to test our knowledge of physics and chemistry, w.o the messyness of life -- anonymous.2. After adding more physics, it becomes wrong -- @V_Parmentier.

What a beautiful summary of JWST sciences and exciting things to look for by @StellarPlanet I had goosebumps like seeing all the blockbuster movie trailers at once for the upcoming next decade #exoplanets5

A bit ironic that going Dutch is not accepted for a Dutch restaurant tab.
