JWST MEP - A World Under Spotty Starlight: Detection of CO2 and H2O in the Hot Saturn WASP-52b with JWST NIRSpec G395H

JWST GO 3969 Team, Yanbo Pan, Ryan J. MacDonald +21

Exoplanets orbiting active stars offer distinct challenges for atmospheric characterization with the JWST. Among such worlds, the hot Saturn WASP-52b (Teq 1300 K) orbits an…

Wet Removal and Cloud Enhancement: The Microphysics of Cloud-Haze Interactions on Sub-Neptunes

Vighnesh Nagpal, Maria Steinrueck, Diana Powell +3

Aerosols are a near-ubiquitous feature of sub-Neptune atmospheres, yet their microphysical nature remains poorly understood. Both condensate clouds and photochemical hazes have bee…

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

Wolf Cukier, Dominic Samra, Vighnesh Nagpal +3

Speculative fiction has long served an inspiration for genuine scientific inquiry. One notable work that has almost acted in this manner is the the seminal comedic speculative fict…

Horizontal and vertical exoplanet thermal structure from a JWST spectroscopic eclipse map

Ryan C. Challener, Megan Weiner Mansfield, Patricio E. Cubillos +33

Highly-irradiated giant exoplanets known as "ultra-hot Jupiters" are anticipated to exhibit large variations of atmospheric temperature and chemistry as a function of longitude, la…

Limb Asymmetries on WASP-39b: A Multi-GCM Comparison of Chemistry, Clouds, and Hazes

Maria E. Steinrueck, Arjun B. Savel, Duncan A. Christie +28

With JWST, observing separate spectra of the morning and evening limbs of hot Jupiters has finally become a reality. The first such observation was reported for WASP-39b, where the…
