Phase-dependent chemistry of WASP-43 b revealed with a suite of one-, two-, and three-dimensional models
Robin Baeyens, Julianne I. Moses, Jasmina Blecic +17
Our goal is to investigate the chemistry of the hot Jupiter WASP-43 b in detail using theoretical models, considering the constraints of the James Webb Space Telescope MIRI phase c…
CARMApy: An Open-Source Python Framework for Simulating Microphysical Clouds in Planetary Atmospheres
Wolf Cukier, Diana Powell, Xi Zhang +3
CARMApy is a new open-source python code that performs bin-scheme microphysical modeling of clouds in exoplanet atmospheres. It models key cloud properties such as particle size di…
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
Wolf Cukier, Dominic Samra, Vighnesh Nagpal +3
Speculative fiction has long served an inspiration for genuine scientific inquiry. One notable work that has almost acted in this manner is the the seminal comedic speculative fict…
WASP-39b: exo-Saturn with patchy cloud composition, moderate metallicity, and underdepleted S/O
Ludmila Carone, David A. Lewis, Dominic Samra +2
WASP-39b is one of the first extrasolar giant gas planets that has been observed within the JWST ERS program. Fundamental properties that may enable the link to exoplanet formation…
Limb Asymmetries on WASP-39b: A Multi-GCM Comparison of Chemistry, Clouds, and Hazes
Maria E. Steinrueck, Arjun B. Savel, Duncan A. Christie +27
With JWST, observing separate spectra of the morning and evening limbs of hot Jupiters has finally become a reality. The first such observation was reported for WASP-39b, where the…
Insufficient evidence for DMS and DMDS in the atmosphere of K2-18 b. From a joint analysis of JWST NIRISS, NIRSpec, and MIRI observations
R. Luque, C. Piaulet-Ghorayeb, M. Radica +5
Recent JWST observations of the temperate sub-Neptune K2-18 b have been interpreted as suggestive of a liquid water ocean with possible biological activity. Signatures of DMS and D…
