CHEOPS observations of V1298 Tau: updated planetary densities and implications on the early evolution of the young system

Hinna Shivkumar, Sérgio Gomes, Jean-Michel Désert +9

The young (10-30 Myr) multi-planet system V1298 Tau presents a unique opportunity to probe the early formation and evolution of young systems. We present new CHEOPS observations of…

Unraveling the Mystery of the Peculiar and Young Hot Jupiter CoRoT-2b II: Phase Resolved Emission Spectroscopy with VLT/CRIRES+ and Gemini-S/IGRINS

Aurora Y. Kesseli, Siddharth Gandhi, Lisa Dang +8

Hot Jupiters are expected to be tidally locked and synchronously rotating due to their short orbital periods. These conditions create large day-night temperature contrasts and are…

The Roasting Marshmallows Program with IGRINS on Gemini South V: Atmosphere of MASCARA-1b is Enriched in Refractory Elements

Krishna Kanumalla, Michael R. Line, Martina Chiarella +75

Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs; K) enable simultaneous detection of volatile (ice-forming) and refractory (rock-forming) species in planetary atmospheres, provi…

The CRIMSON survey I: super-stellar SiO in the directly imaged companion TWA 5 B from high-resolution M-band spectroscopy

Luke T. Parker, Jayne L. Birkby, Siddharth Gandhi +4

Silicon is a key refractory element in giant planet atmospheres, which governs the formation of magnesium-silicate clouds, and reflects the quantity of silicates accreted during fo…

BOWIE-ALIGN: Exploring degeneracies in the muted transmission spectrum of the aligned hot Jupiter NGTS-2b with NIRSpec/G395H

Charlotte Fairman, Hannah R. Wakeford, Alastair B. Claringbold +15

We present the first atmospheric observation and characterisation of the aligned, 1468 K hot Jupiter, NGTS-2b, with one JWST NIRSpec/G395H transit. These observations complete the…

Synthetic disk-integrated absorption lines isolating stellar granulation for high-precision RV studies

Ginger Frame, Heather Cegla, Cis Lagae +6

We present a novel method for constructing high-accuracy, time-varying disk-integrated stellar absorption line profiles that isolate the effects of granulation alone. This framewor…
