The enigmatic abundance of atomic hydrogen in Saturn's upper atmosphere

Lotfi Ben-Jaffel, Julie Moses, Robert A. West +5

A planet's Lyman-α (Lyα) emission is sensitive to its thermospheric structure. Here, we report joint Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Cassini cross-calibration observations of the…

3D Global climate model of an exo-Venus: a modern Venus-like atmosphere for the nearby super-Earth LP 890-9 c

Diogo Quirino, Gabriella Gilli, Lisa Kaltenegger +6

The recently discovered super-Earth LP 890-9 c is an intriguing target for atmospheric studies as it transits a nearby, low-activity late-type M-dwarf star at the inner edge of the…

A roadmap for the atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets with JWST

TRAPPIST-1 JWST Community Initiative, :, Julien de Wit +80

Ultra-cool dwarf stars are abundant, long-lived, and uniquely suited to enable the atmospheric study of transiting terrestrial companions with JWST. Amongst them, the most prominen…

Saturn's Atmosphere in Northern Summer Revealed by JWST/MIRI

Leigh N. Fletcher, Oliver R. T. King, Jake Harkett +8

Saturn's northern summertime hemisphere was mapped by JWST/MIRI (4.9-27.9 m) in November 2022, tracing the seasonal evolution of temperatures, aerosols, and chemical species in…

Shape models and spin states of Jupiter Trojans: Testing the streaming instability formation scenario

Josef Hanuš, David Vokrouhlický, David Nesvorný +5

The leading theory for the origin of Jupiter Trojans (JTs) assumes that JTs were captured to their orbits near the Lagrangian points of Jupiter during the early reconfiguration of…

Probing reflection from aerosols with the near-infrared dayside spectrum of WASP-80b

Bob Jacobs, Jean-Michel Désert, Peter Gao +9

The presence of aerosols is intimately linked to the global energy budget and the composition of a planet's atmospheres. Their ability to reflect incoming light prevents energy fro…

Day-night transport induced chemistry and clouds on WASP-39b I: Gas-phase composition

Shang-Min Tsai, Julianne I. Moses, Diana Powell +1

JWST has recently detected the first robust photochemical product on an exoplanet: sulfur dioxide (SO) on WASP-39b (Rustamkulov et al. 2023; Alderson et al. 2023; Tsai et al. 2…

Wavelength-Dependent Extinction and Grain Sizes in Dippers

Michael L. Sitko, Ray W. Russell, Zachary C. Long +8

We have examined inter-night variability of K2-discovered Dippers that are not close to being viewed edge-on, as determined from previously-reported ALMA images, using the SpeX spe…

Diurnal and Seasonal Mapping of Martian Ices With EMIRS

Aurélien Stcherbinine, Christopher S. Edwards, Michael D. Smith +8

Condensation and sublimation of ices at the surface of the planet is a key part of both the Martian HO and CO cycles, either from a seasonal or diurnal aspect. While most o…

A rocky exoplanet classification method and its application to calculating surface pressure and surface temperature

Sarah R. N. McIntyre, Penelope L. King, Franklin P. Mills

With over 5,000 exoplanets currently detected, there is a need for a primary classification method to prioritise candidates for biosignature observations. Here, we develop a classi…

Optical Properties of Organic Haze Analogues in Water-rich Exoplanet Atmospheres Observable with JWST

Chao He, Michael Radke, Sarah E. Moran +9

JWST has begun its scientific mission, which includes the atmospheric characterization of transiting exoplanets. Some of the first exoplanets to be observed by JWST have equilibriu…
