Dry or water world? How the water contents of inner sub-Neptunes constrain giant planet formation and the location of the water ice line
Bertram Bitsch, Sean N. Raymond, Lars A. Buchhave +3
In the pebble accretion scenario, the pebbles that form planets drift inward from the outer disk regions, carrying water ice with them. At the water ice line, the water ice on the…

The obliquity and atmosphere of the ultra-hot Jupiter TOI-1431b (MASCARA-5b): A misaligned orbit and no signs of atomic ormolecular absorptions
M. Stangret, E. Pallé, N. Casasayas-Barris +21
Ultra-hot Jupiters are defined as giant planets with equilibrium temperatures larger than 2000 K. Most of them are found orbiting bright A-F type stars, making them extremely suita…
