Characterising the Atmosphere of 55 Cancri e: 1D Forward Model Grid for Current and Future JWST Observations
Mantas Zilinskas, Christiaan van Buchem, Sebastian Zieba +9
Recent JWST observations with NIRCam and MIRI of the ultra-short-period super-Earth 55 Cancri e indicate a possible volatile atmosphere surrounding the planet. Previous analysis of…
The radiative effects of photochemical hazes on the atmospheric circulation and phase curves of sub-Neptunes
Maria E. Steinrueck, Vivien Parmentier, Laura Kreidberg +13
Measuring the atmospheric composition of hazy sub-Neptunes like GJ~1214b through transmission spectroscopy is difficult because of the degeneracy between mean molecular weight and…
A New Spectral Library for Modeling the Surfaces of Hot, Rocky Exoplanets
Kimberly Paragas, Heather A. Knutson, Renyu Hu +7
JWST's MIRI LRS provides the first opportunity to spectroscopically characterize the surface compositions of close-in terrestrial exoplanets. Models for the bare-rock spectra of th…
Detectability of Emission from Exoplanet Outflows Calculated by pyTPCI, a New 1D Radiation-Hydrodynamic Code
Riley Rosener, Michael Zhang, Jacob L. Bean
Photoevaporation in exoplanet atmospheres is thought to contribute to the shaping of the small planet radius valley. Escaping atmospheres have been detected in transmission across…
