A Sulfur-Rich Atmosphere for the Young Jupiter Analog AF Lep b Reveals Significant Solid Accretion

Jerry W. Xuan, William O. Balmer, Yayaati Chachan +25

AF Lep b is one of the closest analogs to Jupiter in terms of mass () and semi-major axis ( AU) amenable to spectroscopic characterization. We present JWST/NIR…

Atmospheric Diversity of Giant Planet Analogs from 3-5um with SPHEREx

Rocio Kiman, Brendan P. Bowler, Jerry W. Xuan +2

The emergent spectra of giant planets peak at thermal infrared wavelengths (3-5um) and possess atmospheric features in this regime that trace carbon chemistry, vertical mixing, clo…

Discovery of an Exterior Third Planet Orbiting Pictoris

Aidan Gibbs, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Alexis Bidot +9

We report the discovery of Pictoris d ( Pic d), a third giant planet in the Pictoris system, which now becomes only the second directly imaged system with more than t…

JWST-TST High Contrast: First Direct Spectroscopy of GJ 504 b reveals Clouds and Possible Metal Enrichment

Aneesh Baburaj, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Marshall Perrin +27

Characterizing the coldest directly imaged companions through direct spectroscopy has only recently become possible with the James Webb Space Telescope. We present moderate-resolut…

CO and potential variability in Pictoris b with GRAVITY+

Antonia von Stauffenberg, Jonas Sauter, Paul Mollière +18

The CO/CO ratio was introduced as an indicator for where in the disk a planet has formed. Previously a lower value compared to the host star's was suggested to show t…

Worlds Next Door. IV. Mapping the Late Stages of Giant Planet Evolution with a Precise Dynamical Mass and Luminosity for Ind Ab

Aniket Sanghi, William Thompson, James Mang +21

We present new JWST/NIRCam 4-5 m (F410M, F430M) and JWST/MIRI 18-25 m (F1800W, F2100W, F2550W) imaging detections of the nearby (3.6 pc) cold (275 K) gas giant exoplanet $Î…
