Detection of CO, CO, and HO in the atmosphere of the warm sub-Saturn HAT-P-12b
N. Crouzet, B. Edwards, T. Konings +29
The chemical composition of warm gas giant exoplanet atmospheres (with Teq < 1000 K) is not well known due to the lack of observational constraints. HAT-P-12 b is a warm, sub-Satur…

N. Crouzet, M. Mueller, B. Sargent +17
The detectors of the JWST Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) Medium Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) form low-finesse resonating cavities that cause periodic count rate modulations (fring…
HCN and C2H2 in the atmosphere of a T8.5+T9 brown dwarf binary
Elisabeth C. Matthews, Paul Mollière, Helena Kühnle +22
T-type brown dwarfs present an opportunity to explore atmospheres teeming with molecules such as H2O, CH4 and NH3, which exhibit a wealth of absorption features in the mid-infrared…
Combined analysis of the 12.8 and 15 JWST/MIRI eclipse observations of TRAPPIST-1 b
Elsa Ducrot, Pierre-Olivier Lagage, Michiel Min +36
The first JWST/MIRI photometric observations of TRAPPIST-1 b allowed for the detection of the thermal emission of the planet at 15 , suggesting that the planet could be a bare…
The James Webb Space Telescope Absolute Flux Calibration. III. Mid-Infrared Instrument Medium Resolution IFU Spectrometer
David R. Law, Ioannis Argyriou, Karl D. Gordon +7
We describe the spectrophotometric calibration of the Mid-Infrared Instrument's (MIRI) Medium Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This calib…
Abundant hydrocarbons in the disk around a very-low-mass star
A. M. Arabhavi, I. Kamp, Th. Henning +40
Very low-mass stars (those <0.3 solar masses) host orbiting terrestrial planets more frequently than other types of stars, but the compositions of those planets are largely unknown…
The MIRI/MRS Library I. Empirically correcting detector charge migration in unresolved sources
Danny Gasman, Ioannis Argyriou, Jane E. Morrison +7
The JWST has been collecting scientific data for over two years now. Scientists are now looking deeper into the data, which introduces the need to correct known systematic effects.…
MINDS. The DR Tau disk I: combining JWST-MIRI data with high-resolution CO spectra to characterise the hot gas
Milou Temmink, Ewine F. van Dishoeck, Sierra L. Grant +29
The MRS mode of the JWST-MIRI instrument has been shown to be a powerful tool to characterise the molecular gas emission of the inner region of planet-forming disks. Here, we analy…
MINDS: The JWST MIRI Mid-INfrared Disk Survey
Thomas Henning, Inga Kamp, Matthias Samland +39
The study of protoplanetary disks has become increasingly important with the Kepler satellite finding that exoplanets are ubiquitous around stars in our galaxy and the discovery of…
MINDS. JWST-MIRI Reveals a Dynamic Gas-Rich Inner Disk Inside the Cavity of SY Cha
Kamber R. Schwarz, Thomas Henning, Valentin Christiaens +24
SY Cha is a T Tauri star surrounded by a protoplanetary disk with a large cavity seen in the millimeter continuum but has the spectral energy distribution (SED) of a full disk. Her…
15NH3 in the atmosphere of a cool brown dwarf
David Barrado, Paul Mollière, Polychronis Patapis +40
Brown dwarfs serve as ideal laboratories for studying the atmospheres of giant exoplanets on wide orbits as the governing physical and chemical processes in them are nearly identic…
SO2, silicate clouds, but no CH4 detected in a warm Neptune
Achrene Dyrek, Michiel Min, Leen Decin +44
WASP-107b is a warm (~740 K) transiting planet with a Neptune-like mass of ~30.5 Earth masses and Jupiter-like radius of ~0.94 Jupiter radius, whose extended atmosphere is eroding.…
High-precision astrometry and photometry with the JWST/MIRI imager
M. Libralato, I. Argyriou, D. Dicken +8
Astrometry is one of the main pillars of astronomy, and one of its oldest branches. Over the years, an increasing number of astrometric works by means of Hubble Space Telescope (HS…
Imaging detection of the inner dust belt and the four exoplanets in the HR8799 system with JWST's MIRI coronagraph
Boccaletti A., Mâlin M., Baudoz P. +35
The multi planet system HR8799 is the first target observed with MIRI's coronagraphs as part of the MIRI-EC Guaranteed Time Observations exoplanets programme in Nov. 2022. We obtai…

The Chemical Inventory of the Inner Regions of Planet-forming Disks -- The JWST/MINDS Program
Inga Kamp, Thomas Henning, Aditya M. Arabhavi +40
The understanding of planet formation has changed recently, embracing the new idea of pebble accretion. This means that the influx of pebbles from the outer regions of planet-formi…
Water in the terrestrial planet-forming zone of the PDS 70 disk
G. Perotti, V. Christiaens, Th. Henning +42
Terrestrial and sub-Neptune planets are expected to form in the inner (AU) regions of protoplanetary disks. Water plays a key role in their formation, although it is yet uncl…
