Atmospheric asymmetries in WASP-121 b revealed by rotational transits detected with JWST

Cyril Gapp, Aurélien Falco, Thomas M. Evans-Soma +6

Close-in exoplanets are tidally locked to their host star and thus exhibit extreme atmospheric temperature gradients. It has been theorized that the fraction of star light absorbed…

The Neptunian ridge planet WASP-156 b does not have a polar orbit

M. Lafarga, J. I. Espinoza-Retamal, H. M. Cegla +26

The population of short-period exo-Neptunes is thought to be shaped by an interplay between different dynamical mechanisms, such as orbital migration and tidal effects, and photoev…
