GEMS JWST: Hold on to your HATS(-6 b), a sub-solar metallicity giant planet with water, methane and ammonia in its atmosphere
Giannina Guzmán Caloca, Caleb I. Cañas, Nicole L. Wallack +16
HATS-6 b is one of several recently discovered Giant Exoplanets orbiting M-dwarf Stars (GEMS) and is part of a JWST survey that aims to compare bulk and atmospheric properties of 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…
Helium escaping from the atmosphere of a nearby rocky exoplanet orbiting in a habitable zone
Collin Cherubim, Shreyas Vissapragada, Tim Cunningham +13
The study reports the detection of helium escaping from the atmosphere of the rocky exoplanet LHS 1140b using near‑infrared transit spectroscopy, showing time‑variable escape and s…
Atmospheric characterization of six ultra-hot Jupiters from -band high-resolution spectroscopy
Luke Finnerty, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Yinzi Xin +27
We present new Keck/KPIC high-resolution spectroscopic detections of three ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) in the band: WASP-189b (), MASCARA-1b (), and…
Hydrogen airglow from an escaping ultrahot Jupiter atmosphere
Yapeng Zhang, Chenliang Huang, Aaron Householder +17
Intense high-energy irradiation of close-in gaseous exoplanets drives the rapid escape of their atmospheres, fundamentally shaping planetary demographics. While atmospheric loss is…
JWST COMPASS Program: The 3--5m transmission spectrum of LTT 1445 A b
Natasha E. Batalha, Nicole Wallack, Tyler Gordon +16
The search for an atmosphere on the closest rocky M dwarf planet, LTT 1445 A b, has been the subject of intense investigation from both the ground and space. Here, we present the f…
