Atmospheric Reconnaissance of TRAPPIST-1 f with JWST NIRISS SOSS: No Evidence for the Transit Light Source Effect

Olivia Lim, René Doyon, Ryan J. MacDonald +25

In just over three years of operation, JWST has observed all seven planets of the TRAPPIST-1 system. The two innermost planets were found to have little to no atmosphere, barring t…

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…

GJ 3929 b as the First Complete Rocky Worlds DDT Data Set

Nicholas J. Connors, Christopher Monaghan, Björn Benneke +3

Despite their large abundance, it is still unknown whether and under what conditions rocky planets around M dwarf stars can host atmospheres. This open question motivated the on-go…

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…

Uniform Reinterpretation of Rocky Exoplanet Secondary Eclipse Observations and the Impact of Stellar and Orbital Uncertainties

Christopher Monaghan, Björn Benneke, Nicholas J. Connors +2

Secondary eclipse observations are a powerful way to investigate whether or not a rocky exoplanet hosts an atmosphere, as an atmospheric presence would transport heat to the nights…

Super-Earth masses and stellar abundances from NIRPS reveal tentative evidence for water-rich formation around M dwarfs

Drew Weisserman, Nicole Gromek, Ryan Cloutier +98

Tracing the compositional link between terrestrial super-Earths and their host stars provides clues to their dominant formation pathway. By constraining the stellar abundances of r…
