The Longest-period Young Transiting Exoplanets. A Duo of Puffy Giants inside a Debris Disk
Carlos del Burgo, Alejandro Suárez Mascareño, Ana Heras Pastor +35
We identify two large-radius planets around the F-type star HD 114082 as the longest-period young transiting exoplanets known. From the first transit, detected by NASA's Transiting…
Juno Microwave Radiometer Observations Reveal A Warmer Polar Atmosphere on Jupiter
Jiheng Hu, Cheng Li, Sushil K. Atreya +15
The intriguing circumpolar cyclone pattern at Jupiter's poles raises fundamental questions about how these systems are organized vertically and, further, how the planet's internal…
JWST unveils a high mean molecular weight atmosphere for mini-Neptune TOI-1130b: Evidence for formation beyond the water ice line
Saugata Barat, Tyler Fairnington, Shelby Courreges +21
We present the combined JWST/NIRSpec G395H and NIRISS SOSS transmission spectrum of a warm mini-Neptune, TOI-1130b (3.66 R, 19.8 M, K). It is…
The tale of the 3 planets: 3D cloud feedback enhances the spectral diversity of warm Jupiters
Nishil Mehta, Vivien Parmentier, Xianyu Tan +14
JWST has shown a large diversity in warm Jupiter spectra, despite only small variations in the planetary parameters. However, the main driver of this diversity remains unclear. We…
Cloudy solutions for the clear skies of WASP-80b: 3D cloud feedback on the atmosphere and spectra of a warm Jupiter
Nishil Mehta, Vivien Parmentier, Xianyu Tan +14
Close-in warm Jupiters orbiting M dwarf stars are expected to exhibit diverse atmospheric chemistry, with clouds playing a key role in shaping their albedo, heat distribution, and…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Key Targets of Opportunity on Gas and Ice Giants and their satellites
Ricardo Hueso, Leigh N. Fletcher, Damya Souami +15
The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will transform our knowledge of the outer planets and their satellite systems; however the visibility of unique targets of opportunity with high…
