The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems VIII: patchy forsterite and enstatite clouds in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b, retrieval lessons learned and outlook to the future
Niall Whiteford, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +123
JWST defines a new era for the data-driven approach of retrieval modelling, which has become a cornerstone tool for the statistical inference of exoplanetary and brown dwarf proper…
A Physically Driven Parameterisation of Multidimensional Atmospheres: Application to the JWST Phase Curve of WASP-121b
Yuanheng Yang, Guo Chen, Xianyu Tan +6
Understanding the multidimensional structure of strongly irradiated exoplanets is essential for interpreting their atmospheric dynamics, chemistry and energy transport, yet current…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems V: Do Self-Consistent Atmospheric Models Represent JWST Spectra? A Showcase With VHS 1256 b
Simon Petrus, Niall Whiteford, Polychronis Patapis +119
The unprecedented medium-resolution (R~1500-3500) near- and mid-infrared (1-18um) spectrum provided by JWST for the young (140+/-20Myr) low-mass (12-20MJup) L-T transition (L7) com…
Nightside clouds and disequilibrium chemistry on the hot Jupiter WASP-43b
Taylor J. Bell, Nicolas Crouzet, Patricio E. Cubillos +80
Hot Jupiters are among the best-studied exoplanets, but it is still poorly understood how their chemical composition and cloud properties vary with longitude. Theoretical models pr…
Global Chemical Transport on Hot Jupiters: Insights from 2D VULCAN photochemical model
Shang-Min Tsai, Vivien Parmentier, João M. Mendonça +7
The atmospheric dynamics of tidally-locked hot Jupiters is characterized by strong equatorial winds. Understanding the interaction between global circulation and chemistry is cruci…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems III: Aperture Masking Interferometric Observations of the star HIP 65426 at 3.8 um
Shrishmoy Ray, Steph Sallum, Sasha Hinkley +121
We present aperture masking interferometry (AMI) observations of the star HIP 65426 at as a part of the JWST Direct Imaging Early Release Science (ERS) program obtai…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems IV: NIRISS Aperture Masking Interferometry Performance and Lessons Learned
Steph Sallum, Shrishmoy Ray, Jens Kammerer +120
We present a performance analysis for the aperture masking interferometry (AMI) mode on board the James Webb Space Telescope Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (JWST/NI…
Photochemical hazes dramatically alter temperature structure and atmospheric circulation in 3D simulations of hot Jupiters
Maria E. Steinrueck, Tommi Koskinen, Panayotis Lavvas +5
Photochemical hazes are expected to form in hot Jupiter atmospheres and may explain the strong scattering slopes and muted spectral features observed in the transmission spectra of…
A broadband thermal emission spectrum of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-18b
Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Björn Benneke, Ryan Challener +73
Close-in giant exoplanets with temperatures greater than 2,000 K (''ultra-hot Jupiters'') have been the subject of extensive efforts to determine their atmospheric properties using…
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…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems II: A 1 to 20 Micron Spectrum of the Planetary-Mass Companion VHS 1256-1257 b
Brittany E. Miles, Beth A. Biller, Polychronis Patapis +101
We present the highest fidelity spectrum to date of a planetary-mass object. VHS 1256 b is a 20 M widely separated (8\arcsec, a = 150 au), young, planetary-…
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.…
