Upside down: GJ3090 b the first retrograde exoplanet around an M dwarf detected with NIRPS
Y. Carteret, V. Bourrier, L. Parc +57
The angle between stellar spin axis and planetary orbital plane can provide key insights into the formation and dynamical evolution of planetary systems. In particular, this measur…
The atomic C/O ratio of KELT-9b
Stefan Pelletier, Nicholas W. Borsato, Jacob L. Bean +12
The carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio of a giant planet's atmosphere has long been theorised to hold compositional information that can be traced back to its formation history. Typicall…
Sorting a mess I: Addressing velocity-axis correlation of cross-correlation functions. A census of atomic and ionised species in KELT-9b's atmosphere
Nicholas W. Borsato, Brian Thorsbro, Jens Hoeijmakers +3
Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are the most extreme class of close-in gas giants. We combine 13 transit observations of KELT-9b from six high-resolution spectrographs spanning 316-960 n…
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…
HD 148797: A bright F-type star with two moderate-period low-density sub-Jovian planets. Compact multi-planet architectures are common in the Neptunian savanna
J. M. Almenara, A. Castro-González, R. Mardling +26
We report the confirmation and characterisation of two moderate-period sub-Jovian planets transiting the bright F-type star HD 148797 (G=9.4 mag, Teff=6441 +/- 51 K). Using photome…
Magnetic field strengths of hot giant exoplanets consistent with Solar System values
Julia V. Seidel, Vivien Parmentier, Bibiana Prinoth +29
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the universe. They play a key role in shaping the activity of stars, the habitability of rocky planets, and the long-term retention of planetary a…
The panchromatic JWST dayside spectrum of WASP-121 b reveals a refractory-rich formation
K. Angelique Kahle, Paul Mollière, Laura Kreidberg +16
One path to understand how planets form is to link their present-day atmospheric composition to predictions from planet formation models. For the hottest planets, the abundances of…
Unraveling the Mystery of the Peculiar and Young Hot Jupiter CoRoT-2b II: Phase Resolved Emission Spectroscopy with VLT/CRIRES+ and Gemini-S/IGRINS
Aurora Y. Kesseli, Siddharth Gandhi, Lisa Dang +8
Hot Jupiters are expected to be tidally locked and synchronously rotating due to their short orbital periods. These conditions create large day-night temperature contrasts and are…
The breaking of cold traps and onset of titanium in ultra-hot Jupiter atmospheres: WASP-189b in context
Stefan Pelletier, Romain Allart, Valentina Vaulato +56
Condensates are ubiquitous to all Solar System planets with significant (10mbar) atmospheres. The same is true for most exoplanets with characterised atmospheres, with even ultr…
A population view of transiting hot giant exoplanets: Tracing Fe and Ti chemistry with ESPRESSO and MAROON-X
Bibiana Prinoth, Vivien Parmentier, Stefan Pelletier +9
Hot and ultra-hot Jupiters offer a unique laboratory to study atmospheric chemistry at the population level using ground-based high-resolution spectroscopy. Fe and Ti are key trace…
The Roasting Marshmallows Program with IGRINS on Gemini South V: Atmosphere of MASCARA-1b is Enriched in Refractory Elements
Krishna Kanumalla, Michael R. Line, Martina Chiarella +75
Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs; K) enable simultaneous detection of volatile (ice-forming) and refractory (rock-forming) species in planetary atmospheres, provi…
Unraveling the Mystery of the Peculiar and Young Hot Jupiter CoRoT-2b. I. HO and CO Detection from Dayside Observations with Gemini-S/IGRINS
Ying Shu, Lisa Dang, Antoine Darveau-Bernier +12
We present ground-based high-resolution spectroscopic pre-eclipse observations of the hot Jupiter CoRoT-2b obtained with the IGRINS spectrograph on Gemini South. Using cross-correl…
HAT-P-70b through the Eyes of MAROON-X: Constraining Elemental Abundances of Metals and Insights on Atmosphere Dynamics
Shi Lin Sun, Stefan Pelletier, Björn Benneke +6
Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are exceptional laboratories for studying planetary atmospheres under extreme irradiation conditions. With close-in tidally locked orbits, these planets c…
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-Earth masses and stellar abundances from NIRPS reveal tentative evidence for water-rich formation around M dwarfs
Drew Weisserman, Nicole Gromek, Ryan Cloutier +98
Tracing the compositional link between terrestrial super-Earths and their host stars provides clues to their dominant formation pathway. By constraining the stellar abundances of r…
