Atmospheric Isotopes Reveal 4.5 Billion Years Of Volcanism On Io

Integration time to a 3σ detection for a range of terrestrial atmosphere types on Earth-sized planets orbiting analog nearby targets. Each panel represents a different molecular band, and each color represents a different nearby host star/planet analog. Filled and open circles represent assumed instrumental contrasts of C=10−3 and C=10−4 , respectively, and we assume a total throughput of 10%. A Proxima Centauri b analog (1.3 pc away) is plotted in blue, and a sub-Neptune version of Proxima Centauri b is included for comparison. We may be able to detect several molecules within 100 hours of observing each target, and our Proxima Centauri b analog is the most favorable nearby target for thorough atmospheric characterization. -- astro-ph.EP
