A Deep Search for Exomoons Around WISE 0855 With JWST
Mikayla J. Wilson, Mary Anne Limbach, Andrew J. Skemer +11
JWST is collecting time-series observations of many free-floating planets (FFPs) to study their weather, but these light curves are the ideal datasets to search for exomoons that t…
Condensation Clouds in Substellar Atmospheres with Virga
Natasha E. Batalha, Caoimhe M. Rooney, Channon Visscher +14
Here we present an open-source cloud model for substellar atmospheres, called Virga. The Virga-v0 series has already been widely adopted in the literature. It is written in Python…
Worlds Next Door: A Candidate Giant Planet Imaged in the Habitable Zone of Cen A. I. Observations, Orbital and Physical Properties, and Exozodi Upper Limits
Charles Beichman, Aniket Sanghi, Dimitri Mawet +27
We report on coronagraphic observations of the nearest solar-type star, Cen A, using the MIRI instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope. With three epochs of observation (Au…
Follow-Up Exploration of the TWA 7 Planet-Disk System with JWST NIRCam
Katie A. Crotts, Aarynn L. Carter, Kellen Lawson +39
The young M-star TWA 7 hosts a bright and near face-on debris disk, which has been imaged from the optical to the submillimeter. The disk displays multiple complex substructures su…
JWST Coronagraphic Images of 14 Her c: a Cold Giant Planet in a Dynamically Hot, Multi-planet System
Daniella C. Bardalez Gagliuffi, William O. Balmer, Laurent Pueyo +16
Most observed multi-planet systems are coplanar, in a dynamically "cold" configuration of concentric orbits like our own Solar System. With the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) we…
NIRCam yells at cloud: JWST MIRI imaging can directly detect exoplanets of the same temperature, mass, age, and orbital separation as Saturn and Jupiter
Rachel Bowens-Rubin, James Mang, Mary Anne Limbach +9
NIRCam and MIRI coronagraphy have successfully demonstrated the ability to directly image young sub-Jupiter mass and mature gas-giant exoplanets. However, these modes struggle to r…
The Sonora Substellar Atmosphere Models. V: A Correction to the Disequilibrium Abundance of CO for Sonora Elf Owl
Nicholas F. Wogan, James Mang, Natasha E. Batalha +6
To aid the interpretation of observations of substellar atmospheres, Mukherjee et al. (2024) created the Sonora Elf Owl grid of model atmospheres, simulations that accounted for di…
Thermal Emission and Confirmation of the Frigid White Dwarf Exoplanet WD 1856+534b
Mary Anne Limbach, Andrew Vanderburg, Ryan J. MacDonald +12
We report the detection of thermal emission from and confirm the planetary nature of WD 1856+534b, the first transiting planet known to orbit a white dwarf star. Observations with…
