Effects of Planetary Mass Uncertainties on the Interpretation of the Reflectance Spectra of Earth-like Exoplanets by Mario Damiano, Zachary Burr, Renyu Hu, Jennifer Burt, Tiffany Kataria

“…These biases arise because the uncertainties in planetary mass affect the determination of surface gravity and atmospheric scale height, leading the retrieval algorithm to compensate by adjusting the atmospheric composition. Our findings emphasize the importance of achieving precise mass measurements—ideally within 10% uncertainty—through methods such as extreme precision radial velocity or astrometry, especially for future missions like the Habitable Worlds Observatory.…”
