JWST color sequence of transiting exoplanets and directly imaged substellar objects
Guangwei Fu, Joshua D. Lothringer, Sagnick Mukherjee +4
Color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) have been foundational across astrophysics, from galaxies and stars to brown dwarfs, and JWST now extends them to transiting exoplanets and self-lum…
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…
GEMS JWST: Hold on to your HATS(-6 b), a sub-solar metallicity giant planet with water, methane and ammonia in its atmosphere
Giannina Guzmán Caloca, Caleb I. Cañas, Nicole L. Wallack +16
HATS-6 b is one of several recently discovered Giant Exoplanets orbiting M-dwarf Stars (GEMS) and is part of a JWST survey that aims to compare bulk and atmospheric properties of t…
No Helium Detected in LHS 1140 b from Four JWST NIRISS/SOSS Transits
Katherine A. Bennett, Carlos Gascón, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger +13
In the effort to determine which low-mass exoplanets have atmospheres, LHS 1140 b remains one of the most favorable targets. Its large size (5.6 and 1.7 $\rm R_{\o…
On the Detectability of Volcanic Exo-Ios That May Fuel Auroras on Super-Jupiters
Brooke Kotten, Mary Anne Limbach, Johanna M. Vos +12
Studies suggest Jupiter's aurorae are supplied with plasma from volcanic outflows on the planet's innermost moon, Io. Repeating bursts of radio emission thought to trace massively…
C, N, O, S, and photochemistry in a temperate giant planet orbiting a late M dwarf
Michael Zhang, Qiao Xue, Jeehyun Yang +20
We report the JWST NIRSpec/PRISM transit spectrum of TOI-6894b, an exceptional 420 K sub-Saturn that is one of the rare giant planets transiting a late M dwarf. Remarkably, both th…
Glossy Silicate Clouds on the Scorched Dayside of LTT9779b
Suman Saha, James S. Jenkins, Jonathan Brande +10
Discovered deep within the "Neptunian desert", LTT9779b remains the only known ultra-hot Neptune, prompting significant speculation regarding its unique formation and evolutionary…
A Search for Wide-orbit Planets Around M-dwarfs using Deep MIRI 15-micron Images
Yihan Li, Yifan Zhou, Rachel Bowens-Rubin +7
Wide-orbit (10 AU) gas giant planets shape the architecture of planetary systems, yet their occurrence rate remains poorly constrained. JWST has obtained the deepest mid-infrare…
Photochemical Production of CS2 in Temperate-to-Warm Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres
