Early Release Science of the exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRISS

Adina D. Feinstein, Michael Radica, Luis Welbanks +86

Transmission spectroscopy provides insight into the atmospheric properties and consequently the formation history, physics, and chemistry of transiting exoplanets. However, obtaini…

Early Release Science of the exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRCam

Eva-Maria Ahrer, Kevin B. Stevenson, Megan Mansfield +96

Measuring the metallicity and carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio in exoplanet atmospheres is a fundamental step towards constraining the dominant chemical processes at work and, if in eq…

Early Release Science of the exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRSpec PRISM

Z. Rustamkulov, D. K. Sing, S. Mukherjee +91

Transmission spectroscopy of exoplanets has revealed signatures of water vapor, aerosols, and alkali metals in a few dozen exoplanet atmospheres. However, these previous inferences…

Identification of carbon dioxide in an exoplanet atmosphere

The JWST Transiting Exoplanet Community Early Release Science Team, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Lili Alderson +129

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a key chemical species that is found in a wide range of planetary atmospheres. In the context of exoplanets, CO2 is an indicator of the metal enrichment (i.…
