Space telescope observations of the transmission spectrum of the extrasolar planet HAT-P-11b, which is about the same size as Neptune, reveal water vapour absorption at a wavelength of 1.4 ...
The NASA/ESA Cassini-Huygens mission explored Saturn and its moons from 2004 to 2017, providing the most detailed images and ...
The composition and great density of 'hot Saturn' exoplanet Smertrios are a challenge to planet formation models that the ...
The absorption spectrum is consistent with both a dense “steam” atmosphere made up of 70 percent water, as well as a cloudy hydrogen atmosphere where the clouds would hide the absorption spectra.
Atmospheric parameter retrieval methods – Developing robust numerical algorithms to extract geophysical variables from measured spectra. Laboratory Spectroscopy – Conducting high-precision ...
The Archean Earth spectrum represents a scientific model of Earth's atmosphere based on what is known about this time in Earth's history and what is understood about modern planetary atmospheres.

Note to students that this graphic represents stellar absorption spectra (in which specific wavelengths of starlight have been absorbed by gases in the sun's lower atmosphere or Earth's atmosphere).
He obtained the photographic spectra of N, O, CO2, CO, aqueous vapour and hydrogen by means of an ingeniously constructed spectroscope, from which he could exhaust all the gas except that on which ...
Previous attempts to detect the water dimer at ambient conditions have focused on a single peak, which is difficult to assign unambiguously to a particular molecule. Instead, the researchers ...
