Evidence for an Atmosphere on the Ultra-Short Period super-Earth HD 3167 b

Brandon Park Coy, Qiao Xue, Megan Weiner Mansfield +14

'Lava worlds'-Earth-sized planets hot enough (Teq >~ 1100 K) to melt their dayside silicate surfaces-have emerged as promising candidates for atmospheric detection and characteriza…

C, N, O, S, and photochemistry in a temperate giant planet orbiting a late M dwarf

Michael Zhang, Qiao Xue, Jeehyun Yang +20

We report the JWST NIRSpec/PRISM transit spectrum of TOI-6894b, an exceptional 420 K sub-Saturn that is the only known giant planet transiting a late M dwarf. Remarkably, both the…

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…

Photochemical Production of CS2 in Temperate-to-Warm Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres

Jeehyun Yang, Vighnesh Nagpal, Michael Zhang +15

Sulfur chemistry has emerged as an important probe of exoplanet atmospheres in the JWST era, although observational constraints have thus far been largely limited to SO2 and H2S in…

Revisiting the Exo-Mercury Candidate GJ 367 b with ESPRESSO and a Self-Consistent Tidal Distortion Model

Rena A. Lee, Fei Dai, Ellen M. Price +18

We report revised mass and radius measurements for GJ 367 b, an ultra-short-period (7.7 hr) sub-Earth in a multi-planet system orbiting a nearby (~9 pc) M dwarf host. Previous mass…

The role of the Hubble Space Telescope in advancing our understanding of atmospheric escape in exoplanets

Leonardo A. Dos Santos, Arika Egan, Kevin France +14

An important evolutionary pathway for planetary atmospheres is escape to space, which has been studied on Earth and Mars for several decades and more recently in exoplanets. A part…
