JWST COMPASS: The first near- to mid-infrared transmission spectrum of the hot super-Earth L 168-9 b

Munazza K. Alam, Peter Gao, Jea Adams Redai +14

We present the first broadband near- to mid-infrared (3-12 microns) transmission spectrum of the highly-irradiated (T_eq = 981 K) M dwarf rocky planet L 168-9 b (TOI-134 b) observe…

Volatile-rich Sub-Neptunes as Hydrothermal Worlds: The Case of K2-18 b

Cindy N. Luu, Xinting Yu, Christopher R. Glein +8

Temperate exoplanets between the sizes of Earth and Neptune, known as "sub-Neptunes", have emerged as intriguing targets for astrobiology. It is unknown whether these planets resem…

Insights on the Formation Conditions of Uranus and Neptune from their Deep Elemental Compositions

Olivier Mousis, Antoine Schneeberger, Thibault Cavalié +6

This study, placed in the context of the preparation for the Uranus Orbiter Probe mission, aims to predict the bulk volatile compositions of Uranus and Neptune. Using a protoplanet…

JWST COMPASS: A NIRSpec/G395H Transmission Spectrum of the Sub-Neptune TOI-836c

Nicole L. Wallack, Natasha E. Batalha, Lili Alderson +13

Planets between the sizes of Earth and Neptune are the most common in the Galaxy, bridging the gap between the terrestrial and giant planets in our Solar System. Now that we are fi…

JWST COMPASS: NIRSpec/G395H Transmission Observations of the Super-Earth TOI-836b

Lili Alderson, Natasha E. Batalha, Hannah R. Wakeford +13

We present two transit observations of the ~870K, 1.7R super-Earth TOI-836b with JWST NIRSpec/G395H, resulting in a 2.8-5.2m transmission spectrum. Using two different reduc…

The possible formation of Jupiter from supersolar gas

Artyom Aguichine, Olivier Mousis, Jonathan Lunine

More than two decades ago, the Galileo probe performed in situ measurements of the composition of Jupiter's atmosphere and found that the abundances of C, N, S, P, Ar, Kr and Xe we…

The nature and composition of Jupiter's building blocks derived from the water abundance measurements by the Juno spacecraft

Olivier Mousis, Jonathan I. Lunine, Artyom Aguichine

The microwave radiometer aboard the Juno spacecraft provided a measurement of the water abundance found to range between 1 and 5.1 times the protosolar abundance of oxygen in the n…

Mass-radius relationships for irradiated ocean planets

Artyom Aguichine, Olivier Mousis, Magali Deleuil +1

Massive and water-rich planets should be ubiquitous in the universe. Many of those worlds are expected to be subject to important irradiation from their host star, and display supe…

Irradiated ocean planets bridge super-Earth and sub-Neptune populations

Olivier Mousis, Magali Deleuil, Artyom Aguichine +5

Small planets (1--3.9 $\Rearth$) constitute more than half of the inventory of the 4000-plus exoplanets discovered so far. Smaller planets are sufficiently dense to be rocky,…
