Water and an escaping helium tail detected in the hazy and methane-depleted atmosphere of HAT-P-18b from JWST NIRISS/SOSS
Guangwei Fu, Néstor Espinoza, David K. Sing +11
JWST is here. The early release observation program (ERO) provides us with the first look at the scientific data and the spectral capabilities. One of the targets from ERO is HAT-P…
Early Release Science of the exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRISS
Adina D. Feinstein, Michael Radica, Luis Welbanks +86
Transmission spectroscopy provides insight into the atmospheric properties and consequently the formation history, physics, and chemistry of transiting exoplanets. However, obtaini…
Early Release Science of the exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRCam
Eva-Maria Ahrer, Kevin B. Stevenson, Megan Mansfield +96
Measuring the metallicity and carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio in exoplanet atmospheres is a fundamental step towards constraining the dominant chemical processes at work and, if in eq…
Early Release Science of the Exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRSpec G395H
Lili Alderson, Hannah R. Wakeford, Munazza K. Alam +89
Measuring the abundances of carbon and oxygen in exoplanet atmospheres is considered a crucial avenue for unlocking the formation and evolution of exoplanetary systems. Access to a…
Early Release Science of the exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRSpec PRISM
Z. Rustamkulov, D. K. Sing, S. Mukherjee +91
Transmission spectroscopy of exoplanets has revealed signatures of water vapor, aerosols, and alkali metals in a few dozen exoplanet atmospheres. However, these previous inferences…
Spectroscopic Time-series Performance of JWST/NIRSpec from Commissioning Observations
Néstor Espinoza, Leonardo Úbeda, Stephan M. Birkmann +22
We report on JWST commissioning observations of the transiting exoplanet HAT-P-14 b, obtained using the Bright Object Time Series (BOTS) mode of the NIRSpec instrument with the G39…
Photochemically-produced SO in the atmosphere of WASP-39b
Shang-Min Tsai, Elspeth K. H. Lee, Diana Powell +82
Photochemistry is a fundamental process of planetary atmospheres that regulates the atmospheric composition and stability. However, no unambiguous photochemical products have been…
Identification of carbon dioxide in an exoplanet atmosphere
The JWST Transiting Exoplanet Community Early Release Science Team, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Lili Alderson +129
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a key chemical species that is found in a wide range of planetary atmospheres. In the context of exoplanets, CO2 is an indicator of the metal enrichment (i.…
Direct discovery of the inner exoplanet in the HD206893 system. Evidence for deuterium burning in a planetary-mass companion
S. Hinkley, S. Lacour, G. -D. Marleau +110
Long term precise radial velocity (RV) monitoring of the nearby star HD206893, as well as anomalies in the system proper motion, have suggested the presence of an additional, inner…
The Science Performance of JWST as Characterized in Commissioning
Jane Rigby, Marshall Perrin, Michael McElwain +623
This paper characterizes the actual science performance of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), as determined from the six month commissioning period. We summarize the performanc…
Solar-to-supersolar sodium and oxygen absolute abundances for a "hot Saturn" orbiting a metal-rich star
Nikolay K. Nikolov, David K. Sing, Jessica J. Spake +10
We present new analysis of infrared transmission spectroscopy of the cloud-free hot-Saturn WASP-96b performed with the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes (HST and Spitzer). The WA…
UV Absorption by Silicate Cloud Precursors in Ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-178b
Joshua D. Lothringer, David K. Sing, Zafar Rustamkulov +6
Aerosols have been found to be nearly ubiquitous in substellar atmospheres. The precise temperature at which these aerosols begin to form in exoplanets has yet to be observationall…
Analysis of a JWST NIRSpec Lab Time Series: Characterizing Systematics, Recovering Exoplanet Transit Spectroscopy, and Constraining a Noise Floor
Zafar Rustamkulov, David Sing, Rongrong Liu +1
The James Webb Space Telescope's NIRSpec instrument will unveil the nature of exoplanet atmospheres across the wealth of planet types, from temperate terrestrial worlds to ultrahot…
