Discovery of a second-generation planet candidate accreting onto a white dwarf

Jamie T. Williams, Boris T. Gänsicke, Nicholas C. Stone +10

Many white dwarfs accrete the debris of disrupted planetary bodies, detected in the form of metal-enrichment in their atmospheres, dusty or gaseous circumstellar discs, and photome…

The Science Potential of Characterizing Gas Giant Exoplanets with HWO

Beck Dacus, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Quinn Konopacky +19

With the ability to directly image Earth-like exoplanets and search their atmospheres for biosignatures, the upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will also collect high sign…

The Luminosity Function of Ultra-Faint Trans-Neptunian Objects Detected by JWST

Marielle R. Eduardo, Anastasia N. Morgan, Wesley C. Fraser +8

We present a definitive discovery of 27 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) using the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). By employing a shift-an…

Combined JWST and HST Deep Imaging to Characterize the Smallest Known Trans-Neptunian Objects

Anastasia N. Morgan, Marielle R. Eduardo, David E. Trilling +9

We present optical-near-infrared (NIR) color measurements for small ( km) Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) using coordinated and nearly simultaneous observations from the Ja…

Leveraging Impact Parameter to Mitigate the Transit Light Source Effect: Early Insights from TRAPPIST-1

Ana Glidden, Alexander I. Shapiro, Sara Seager +19

Stellar activity complicates exoplanet transmission spectra, particularly for smaller planets around M dwarfs with JWST. The transit light source (TLS) effect, the imprinting of sp…

A JWST transiting survey of FGK stellar limb darkening: empirical evidence for quadratic laws and atmospheric model comparisons

David K. Sing, Joshua D. Lothringer, Jeff A. Valenti +11

We present a study of stellar limb-darkening using JWST transit observations of seven exoplanets orbiting FGK host stars, spanning 4200-6800 K. The wide wavelength coverage and hig…
