Characterizing the Near-infrared Spectra of Flares from TRAPPIST-1 During JWST Transit Spectroscopy Observations
Ward S. Howard, Adam F. Kowalski, Laura Flagg +16
We present the first analysis of JWST near-infrared spectroscopy of stellar flares from TRAPPIST-1 during transits of rocky exoplanets. Four flares were observed from 0.6--2.8 m…
A roadmap for the atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets with JWST
TRAPPIST-1 JWST Community Initiative, :, Julien de Wit +80
Ultra-cool dwarf stars are abundant, long-lived, and uniquely suited to enable the atmospheric study of transiting terrestrial companions with JWST. Amongst them, the most prominen…
Near-Infrared Transmission Spectroscopy of HAT-P-18b with NIRISS: Disentangling Planetary and Stellar Features in the Era of JWST
Marylou Fournier-Tondreau, Ryan J. MacDonald, Michael Radica +24
The JWST Early Release Observations (ERO) included a NIRISS/SOSS (0.6-2.8m) transit of the 850K Saturn-mass exoplanet HAT-P-18b. Initial analysis of these data…
Atmospheric Reconnaissance of TRAPPIST-1 b with JWST/NIRISS: Evidence for Strong Stellar Contamination in the Transmission Spectra
Olivia Lim, Björn Benneke, René Doyon +22
TRAPPIST-1 is a nearby system of seven Earth-sized, temperate, rocky exoplanets transiting a Jupiter-sized M8.5V star, ideally suited for in-depth atmospheric studies. Each TRAPPIS…
Homogeneous search for helium in the atmosphere of 11 gas giant exoplanets with SPIRou
R. Allart, P. -B. Lemée-Joliecoeur, A. Y. Jaziri +31
The metastable helium triplet in the near-infrared (10833Å) is among the most important probes of exoplanet atmospheres. It can trace their extended outer layers and constrain mass…
Awesome SOSS: Transmission Spectroscopy of WASP-96b with NIRISS/SOSS
Michael Radica, Luis Welbanks, Néstor Espinoza +30
The future is now - after its long-awaited launch in December 2021, JWST began science operations in July 2022 and is already revolutionizing exoplanet astronomy. The Early Release…
The Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph for the James Webb Space Telescope -- III. Single Object Slitless Spectroscopy
Loic Albert, David Lafreniere, Rene Doyon +37
The Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph instrument (NIRISS) is the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) contribution to the suite of four science instruments of JWST. As one of t…
The Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph for the James Webb Space Telescope -- I. Instrument Overview and in-Flight Performance
Rene Doyon, C. J Willott, John B. Hutchings +60
The Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) is the science module of the Canadian-built Fine Guidance Sensor (FGS) onboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). NI…
Awesome SOSS: Atmospheric Characterisation of WASP-96 b using the JWST Early Release Observations
Jake Taylor, Michael Radica, Luis Welbanks +13
The newly operational JWST offers the potential to study the atmospheres of distant worlds with precision that has not been achieved before. One of the first exoplanets observed by…
CO or no CO? Narrowing the CO abundance constraint and recovering the H2O detection in the atmosphere of WASP-127 b using SPIRou
Anne Boucher, David Lafrenière, Stefan Pelletier +24
Precise measurements of chemical abundances in planetary atmospheres are necessary to constrain the formation histories of exoplanets. A recent study of WASP-127b, a close-in puffy…
A broadband thermal emission spectrum of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-18b
Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Björn Benneke, Ryan Challener +73
Close-in giant exoplanets with temperatures greater than 2,000 K (''ultra-hot Jupiters'') have been the subject of extensive efforts to determine their atmospheric properties using…
