Size, shape, density, and atmospheric limit of (50000) Quaoar revealed from 14 years of stellar occultation

Giuliano Margoti, Felipe Braga-Ribas, José Luis Ortiz +173

We present results from 28 stellar occultations by the large Trans-Neptunian Object (50000) Quaoar registered between 2018 and 2025. By performing a joint analysis of this occultat…

A Panchromatic JWST Spectrum of a Giant Starspot on the Fully Convective M-dwarf TOI-3884

C. A. Murray, L. Garcia, B. V. Rackham +18

TOI-3884 b is a rare super-Neptune transiting a fully convective M dwarf that hosts a persistent giant polar spot. Because the planet occults this active region during every transi…

TOI-4616 b: a benchmark Earth-sized planet transiting a nearby M4 dwarf

F. Zong Lang, B. O. Demory, Y. Gomez Maqueo Chew +44

Rocky exoplanets are particularly abundant around M-type stars. Their small radii and low luminosities provide favourable conditions for detecting transiting terrestrial planets an…

What's in Your Transit? Towards Reliably Getting More Science from Exoplanet Transit Data

Samson J. Mercier, Julien de Wit, Benjamin V. Rackham

Exoplanetary science heavily relies on transit depth () measurements. Yet, as instrumental precision increases, the uncertainty on appears to increasingly drift from expecta…

Combined Exoplanet Mass and Atmospheric Characterization for Accelerated Exoplanetology

Julien de Wit, Sara Seager, Prajwal Niraula

Today's most detailed characterization of exoplanet atmospheres is accessible via transit spectroscopy (TS). Detecting transiting exoplanets only yields their size, and it is thus…

First JWST thermal phase curves of temperate terrestrial exoplanets reveal no thick atmosphere around TRAPPIST-1 b and c

Michaël Gillon, Elsa Ducrot, Taylor J. Bell +30

We report JWST/MIRI 15 m phase curves of TRAPPIST-1 b and c, revealing thermal emission consistent with their irradiation levels, assuming no efficient heat redistribution. We…
