Recovering the Morning and Evening Limbs of WASP-94Ab from Its Limb-Averaged JWST Transmission Spectrum

Tyler R. Fairnington, Michael Radica, Michael Zhang +5

Recent JWST observations have revealed that the morning and evening limbs of the hot Jupiter WASP-94Ab have very different transmission spectra. An analysis of these resolved limb…

The asymmetric limbs of HD 209458 b observed with JWST NIRCam F322W2/F444W

Cathal Maguire, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Charlotte Fairman +6

We present a reanalysis of JWST NIRCam F322W2/F444W transit observations of the hot Jupiter HD 209458 b to extract morning and evening transmission spectra. To determine whether as…

Atmospheric Reconnaissance of TRAPPIST-1 f with JWST NIRISS SOSS: No Evidence for the Transit Light Source Effect

Olivia Lim, René Doyon, Ryan J. MacDonald +25

In just over three years of operation, JWST has observed all seven planets of the TRAPPIST-1 system. The two innermost planets were found to have little to no atmosphere, barring t…

Strict Limits on Helium Absorption from LHS 1140 b from Four JWST NIRISS Transits

Michael Radica

Orbiting in the habitable zone of its host star, the 1.7 , 5.6 planet LHS 1140 b is a target of great interest. Recently Cherubim et al. (2026) published a det…

KRONOS I: The m JWST Transmission Spectrum of the 23 Myr V1298 Tau c

Matthew M. Murphy, Matthew C. Nixon, Adina D. Feinstein +16

While recent JWST observations of mature super-Earths and sub-Neptunes have frequently revealed featureless transmission spectra, their inflated progenitors offer a unique window i…

KRONOS II: Solar-like Umbra and Penumbra Properties on the Young Sun V1298~Tau

Matthew M. Murphy, Adina D. Feinstein, Meir E. Schochet +14

Transiting exoplanets provide a unique laboratory for studying stellar surface heterogeneities via starspot or facular occultations. When observed at multiple wavelengths, this con…

The Days Drag On on WASP-121 b: Interpreting its NIRISS Spectroscopic Phase Curve with General Circulation Models

Robert C. Frazier, Emily Rauscher, Jared Splinter +18

Ultra-hot Jupiters present extreme atmospheric phenomena not found in the Solar System. These planets' daysides experience strong temperature inversions, molecular species (includi…

Super-Solar Metallicity and Tentative Evidence for Photochemistry on WASP-96b from JWST and Ground-Based VLT Transmission Spectroscopy

Michael Radica, Jake Taylor, Yoav Rotman +13

With its expanded wavelength coverage and increased precision compared to previous space-based observatories, JWST provides the opportunity to revisit benchmark planets and view th…

On the Information Content of Ariel Transmission Spectra: Reassessing the Tier System

Michael Radica, Nicolas B. Cowan, Ryan Cloutier +1

The European Space Agency's Ariel mission will conduct a survey of the atmospheric properties of exoplanets around bright stars. The mission is nominally divided into three Tiers.…

New Constraints on the M Dwarf Cosmic Shoreline from a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Michael Radica

Whether there is a cosmic shoreline that divides terrestrial planets which have atmospheres from those that don't is one of the biggest open questions in exoplanet science. Most at…
