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…

Asymmetric Aerosol Distribution on the Terminators of the Warm Saturn WASP-69 b Revealed by JWST NIRISS/SOSS

Le-Chris Wang, Sagnick Mukherjee, Stephen P. Schmidt +16

How aerosols form, are transported, and cycle between condensation and evaporation across exoplanet temperature regimes remains poorly understood. Recent models and observations su…

SMDET-1: a Nearby Y Dwarf Candidate

Aaron M. Meisner, Dan Caselden, Federico Marocco +11

We present the discovery of SMDET-1, a red, fast-moving object ("/yr) identified in time-resolved unWISE coadds using a pixel-level deep learning methodology called S…

Mitigating Charge Migration in JWST NIRISS Reveals That KELT-7 b is a Metal-enriched Ultra-hot Jupiter Orbiting a Young Metal-rich Star

Stephen P. Schmidt, Erin M. May, Joshua D. Lothringer +19

We present the first panchromatic JWST transmission spectrum of an ultra-hot Jupiter, combining NIRISS and NIRSpec observations to constrain KELT-7\,b's atmospheric properties. We…

SPHEREx 0.75 to 5 m Spectra for a Sequence of Nearby Brown Dwarfs

Zafar Rustamkulov, J. Kirkpatrick, Rachel Akeson +21

The SPHEREx all-sky survey has now measured the R40-100 infrared spectra of thousands of nearby brown dwarfs in the chemically rich 0.75-5 m range. The survey's wide spect…

The POKEMON Speckle Survey of Nearby M dwarfs. IV. Distance-Limited Catalog (POKEMON-DLC)

Catherine A. Clark, Zafar Rustamkulov, Gerard T. van Belle +5

The Solar Neighborhood is dominated by stars smaller, colder, and fainter than the Sun: the M dwarfs. If we are to understand the context in which the Sun formed and evolved, then…

The SPHEREx Instrument: Calibration, testing and performance measurements of the NIR spectroscopic surveyor from the laboratory to in-orbit commissioning

Phil M. Korngut, James J. Bock, Samuel Condon +90

The SPHEREx near-infrared space telescope is an all-sky spectroscopic survey mission launched on March 12th, 2025 UTC. In addition to providing the community with a spectral databa…

SPHEREx Wide-Field Infrared Spectral Mapping of Interstellar Ices and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Joseph L. Hora, Jinyoung K. Noh, Gary J. Melnick +32

We present some of the first infrared spectral maps acquired by SPHEREx. These maps, which to our knowledge are the largest of their type ever compiled in the near-infrared, reveal…

Spectral Map Making with SPHEREx

Ari J. Cukierman, Shuang-Shuang Chen, Jae Hwan Kang +24

We present map-making methodologies and preliminary spectral data cubes for SPHEREx, a NASA Explorer mission that launched in March 2025 and has been performing an all-sky near-inf…

Spectral response of SPHEREx

Howard Hui, Jamie Bock, Samuel Condon +31

The Spectro Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer (SPHEREx) is conducting the first all-sky near infrared spectral survey spanning 0.…

SPHEREx Re-Observation of Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS in December 2025: Detection of Increased Post-Perihelion Activity, Refractory Coma Dust, and New Coma Gas Species

C. M. Lisse, Y. P. Bach, S. A. Bryan +13

In December-2025, the NASA SPHEREx spacecraft re-observed ISO 3I/ATLAS post-perihelion, finding a much more active object compared to August-2025 SPHEREx pre-perihelion observation…
