Enhancing the Interpretability of Radial Velocity Analysis Using Leave-one-out Cross-validation

Matthew C. Nixon, Ritvik Basant, Rafael Luque +2

Radial velocity (RV) observations are reaching increasingly high precision, enabling the targeting of low-amplitude signals. Assessing results obtained at the limits of our capabil…

Precise Determination of the Metallicity and C/O of WASP-39~b From a Single JWST Instrument Mode with Phase-Resolved Cross-Correlation Retrievals

Arjun B. Savel, Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Erin M. May +4

Measuring atmospheric metallicities and C/O ratios is a key goal of JWST exoplanet science, given their proposed link to planet formation. Achieving this goal has previously been s…

C, N, O, S, and photochemistry in a temperate giant planet orbiting a late M dwarf

Michael Zhang, Qiao Xue, Jeehyun Yang +20

We report the JWST NIRSpec/PRISM transit spectrum of TOI-6894b, an exceptional 420 K sub-Saturn that is one of the rare giant planets transiting a late M dwarf. Remarkably, both th…

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…

Photochemical Production of CS2 in Temperate-to-Warm Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres

Jeehyun Yang, Vighnesh Nagpal, Michael Zhang +16

Sulfur chemistry has emerged as an important probe of exoplanet atmospheres in the JWST era, although observational constraints have thus far been largely limited to SO2 and H2S in…

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…

Impact of Clouds on the Atmosphere-Mantle Interface of Sub-Neptunes

Sagnick Mukherjee, Matthew C. Nixon, Luis Welbanks +4

Sub-Neptunes are among the most common type of close-in planets found in our galaxy, yet their bulk composition remains largely uncertain; H-rich envelopes overlaying rocky cores,…

The Identification of CS2 and Evidence for Carbon-Sulfur Chemical Coupling in a Warm Giant Exoplanet Atmosphere

Anastasia Triantafillides, Thomas G. Beatty, Matthew C. Nixon +14

Transmission spectroscopy with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is revealing growing chemical complexity in giant exoplanet atmospheres. Of particular interest is sulfur, whic…
