How to understand exoplanets — space scientists call on lab-based chemists to help

Understanding Exoplanets: A Call for Collaboration

Space scientists are urging lab-based chemists to collaborate in understanding exoplanets, fostering stronger links between researchers who study Earth's and other planets' atmospheres.

This collaboration will involve the experimental, modelling, and observational communities to interpret astronomical data effectively.

Stronger links between researchers... will help to interpret the astronomical data now at our fingertips.

A team of experts, including Winiberg, an experimental photochemist, Laura Kreidberg, an exoplanet astronomer, and Moses, a planetary and exoplanet atmospheric chemist, are leading this call for collaboration.

Author's summary: Collaboration is key to understanding exoplanets.
