Description
A PHASE-MODULATED Michelson interferometer1 and a helium cooled Rollin2 photoconductive far infrared detector, at the focus of a 35 cm aperture Cassegrain telescope, were flown at a height of 12.1 km from the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, in a Comet 2E aircraft, on November 11, 12 and 16, 1971. The emission spectrum of the stratosphere was obtained in the wavenumber range from 36 cm-1 to 5 cm-1 (wavelengths 280 µm to 2 mm)3. Here we describe an analysis of a portion of this spectrum for features produced by sources outside the Earth's atmosphere.

    Identification of the Top TESS Objects of Interest for Atmospheric Characterization of Transiting Exoplanets with JWST
    JWST has ushered in an era of unprecedented ability to characterize exoplanetary atmospheres. While there are over 5000 confirmed planets, more than 4000 Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) planet candidates are still unconfirmed and many of the best planets for atmospheric characterization may remain to be identified. We present a sample

    High-resolution Spectroscopic Reconnaissance of a Temperate Sub-Neptune
    The study of temperate sub-Neptunes is the new frontier in exoplanetary science. A major development in the past year has been the first detection of carbon-bearing molecules in the atmosphere of a temperate sub-Neptune, K2-18 b, a possible Hycean world, with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The JWST is poised to characterize the atmospheres

    Nonlinear Wave Damping by Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability-induced Turbulence
    Magnetohydrodynamic kink waves naturally form as a consequence of perturbations to a structured medium, for example, transverse oscillations of coronal loops. Linear theory has provided many insights into the evolution of linear oscillations, and results from these models are often applied to infer information about the solar corona from observed
