Investigating potential causes for high inferred intrinsic temperatures of warm transiting Neptune and Sub-Neptune planets

Saugata Barat, Jean-Michel Désert, Allona Vazan +7

Atmospheric characterization of a warm 10-30 Myr old sub-Neptune progenitor (V1298 Tau b) and a 3.4 Gyr old warm super-Neptune (WASP-107b) using JWST have revealed extremely…

WINERED Detects a Strong Atmospheric Outflow on the Sub-Neptune GJ 3090b

Shreyas Vissapragada, Zifan Lin, Annabella Meech +12

Sub-Neptunes are the most common short-period ( d) planets known. A major goal for the field is to build a comprehensive understanding of their compositions and evolutionary…

Magnesium silicate condensation in sub-Neptune envelopes: the fundamental link between chemistry, structure, and observables

William Misener, Peter Gao, Nicole L. Wallack +2

Chemical interactions between the hydrogen-dominated envelopes and silicate-rich interiors of sub-Neptunes likely play a key role in shaping their atmospheric structure, mass-radiu…

Helium escaping from the atmosphere of a nearby rocky exoplanet orbiting in a habitable zone

Collin Cherubim, Shreyas Vissapragada, Tim Cunningham +13

Observations of highly irradiated gas giant exoplanets have shown helium escaping from their atmospheres. There is limited evidence for atmospheres on rocky exoplanets, perhaps bec…

Characterizing the bolometric-photoevaporative transition in young sub-Neptunes with radiation-hydrodynamic simulations

William Misener, Matthäus Schulik, Hilke E. Schlichting +1

Hydrodynamic atmospheric escape plays a central role in shaping the demographics of small, close-in exoplanets. Two mechanisms have been proposed to drive mass loss: photoevaporati…
