The atmospheric composition of TOI-270 d

Savvas Constantinou, Nikku Madhusudhan, Måns Holmberg

The first explorations of temperate sub-Neptune exoplanets have been the hallmark of early JWST observations. The bulk properties of such planets are consistent with a range of pos…

Exploring the Sub-Neptune Frontier with JWST

Nikku Madhusudhan, Måns Holmberg, Savvas Constantinou +1

Sub-Neptune planets, with sizes and masses between those of Earth and Neptune, dominate the exoplanet population. Sub-Neptunes are expected to be the most diverse family of the exo…

A water-rich interior in the temperate sub-Neptune K2-18 b revealed by JWST

Renyu Hu, Aaron Bello-Arufe, Armen Tokadjian +7

Temperate sub-Neptunes are compelling targets for detecting liquid-water oceans beyond the Solar System. If water-rich and lacking massive hydrogen-helium envelopes, these planets…

A Systematic Search for Trace Molecules in the Atmosphere of Exoplanet K2-18 b

Lorenzo Pica-Ciamarra, Nikku Madhusudhan, Gregory J. Cooke +2

The first transmission spectrum of the habitable-zone sub-Neptune K2-18 b with JWST has opened a new avenue for atmospheric characterisation of temperate low-mass exoplanets. The o…

New Constraints on DMS and DMDS in the Atmosphere of K2-18 b from JWST MIRI

Nikku Madhusudhan, Savvas Constantinou, Måns Holmberg +3

The sub-Neptune frontier has opened a new window into the rich diversity of planetary environments beyond the solar system. The possibility of hycean worlds, with planet-wide ocean…
