JWST/NIRISS reveals the water-rich "steam world" atmosphere of GJ 9827 d
Caroline Piaulet-Ghorayeb, Bjorn Benneke, Michael Radica +30
With sizable volatile envelopes but smaller radii than the solar system ice giants, sub-Neptunes have been revealed as one of the most common types of planet in the galaxy. While t…
Flaring Activity for Low-Mass Stars in the Pictoris Moving Group
Jordan N. Ealy, Joshua E. Schlieder, Thaddeus D. Komacek +1
Stellar flares from K and M dwarfs release panchromatic radiation characterized by a significantly higher brightness temperature (9-20 kK) than the star. The increased freque…
A new lever on exoplanetary B fields: measuring heavy ion velocities
Arjun B. Savel, Hayley Beltz, Thaddeus D. Komacek +2
Magnetic fields connect an array of planetary processes, from atmospheric escape to interior convection. Despite their importance, exoplanet magnetic fields are largely unconstrain…
The Coupled Impacts of Atmospheric Composition and Obliquity on the Climate Dynamics of TRAPPIST-1e
Tobi Hammond, Thaddeus Komacek
Planets in multi-planet systems are expected to migrate inward as near-resonant chains, thus allowing them to undergo gravitational planet-planet interactions and possibly maintain…
Impact of Planetary Parameters on Water Clouds Microphysics
Huanzhou Yang, Thaddeus D. Komacek, Owen B. Toon +4
Potentially habitable exoplanets are targets of great interest for the James Webb Space Telescope and upcoming mission concepts such as the Habitable Worlds Observatory. Clouds str…
The impact of Ozone on Earth-like exoplanet climate dynamics: the case of Proxima Centauri b
Paolo De Luca, Marrick Braam, Thaddeus D. Komacek +1
The emergence of the James Webb Space Telescope and the development of other advanced observatories (e.g., ELTs, LIFE and HWO) marks a pivotal moment in the quest to characterize t…
JWST Reveals CH, CO, and HO in a Metal-rich Miscible Atmosphere on a Two-Earth-Radius Exoplanet
Björn Benneke, Pierre-Alexis Roy, Louis-Philippe Coulombe +28
Even though sub-Neptunes likely represent the most common outcome of planet formation, their natures remain poorly understood. In particular, planets near 1.5-2.5 often…
Tropical cyclones on tidally locked rocky planets: Dependence on rotation period
Valeria Garcia, Cole M. Smith, Daniel R. Chavas +1
Tropical cyclones occur over the Earth's tropical oceans, with characteristic genesis regions and tracks tied to the warm ocean surface that provides energy to sustain these storms…
Nightside clouds and disequilibrium chemistry on the hot Jupiter WASP-43b
Taylor J. Bell, Nicolas Crouzet, Patricio E. Cubillos +80
Hot Jupiters are among the best-studied exoplanets, but it is still poorly understood how their chemical composition and cloud properties vary with longitude. Theoretical models pr…
Modeling the day-night temperature variations of ultra-hot Jupiters: confronting non-grey general circulation models and observations
Xianyu Tan, Thaddeus D. Komacek, Natasha E. Batalha +4
Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are natural laboratories to study extreme physics in planetary atmospheres and their rich observational data sets are yet to be confronted with models wit…
