Response Of Atmospheric Convection To Surface Drying: New Insights From Isentropic Analysis
There is strong evidence that the atmospheric moisture content of several solar system planets, including Earth, has varied over their lifetimes. A growing body of work also documents a range of atmospheric water vapor content on exoplanets. An improved understanding of the coupling between atmosphe…

Stellar Chemistry And Planet Size: Insights From GALAH DR4
The well-known correlation between stellar metallicity and planet occurrence is strongest for giant planets, but weaker for smaller planets, suggesting that detailed elemental patterns beyond [Fe/H] may be relevant. Using abundances from the fourth data release of the GALAH spectroscopic survey, we …

APEX Survey Of Interstellar HCl: 35Cl/37Cl Isotopic Ratios In Dense Cores And Outflows
Despite being only the 19th most abundant element in the interstellar medium, chlorine’s reactivity and volatility give rise to a unique interstellar chemistry, favouring the formation of several chlorine-bearing hydrides. Further, the 35Cl/37Cl ratio probes nucleosynthesis across the Galaxy. Yet, s…
