A reflective, metal-rich atmosphere for GJ 1214b from its JWST phase curve

Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Michael Zhang, Jacob L. Bean +30

There are no planets intermediate in size between Earth and Neptune in our Solar System, yet these objects are found around a substantial fraction of other stars. Population statis…

High atmospheric metal enrichment for a Saturn-mass planet

Jacob L. Bean, Qiao Xue, Prune C. August +9

Atmospheric metal enrichment (i.e., elements heavier than helium, also called "metallicity") is a key diagnostic of the formation of giant planets. The giant planets of the solar s…

A super-Earth and a mini-Neptune near the 2:1 MMR straddling the radius valley around the nearby mid-M dwarf TOI-2096

F. J. Pozuelos, M. Timmermans, B. V. Rackham +72

Several planetary formation models have been proposed to explain the observed abundance and variety of compositions of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes. In this context, multitransit…
