Transmission Spectrum of the Benchmark Temperate Exo-Neptune TOI-1231 b
Subhajit Sarkar, Nikku Madhusudhan, Lorenzo Pica-Ciamarra +4
The JWST is revolutionizing our understanding of the temperate sub-Neptune population through atmospheric spectroscopy. The nature of these planets remains debated, as their bulk p…
The Mid-Infrared Transmission Spectrum of the Temperate Sub-Neptune TOI-270 d
MÃ¥ns Holmberg, Nikku Madhusudhan, Martin Binet +3
Observations of temperate sub-Neptunes with JWST have ushered in a new era for atmospheric characterization of small exoplanets. In particular, the MIRI instrument provides a uniqu…
Transformational astrophysics and exoplanet science with Habitable Worlds Observatory's High Resolution Imager
Vincent Van Eylen, Richard Massey, Saeeda Awan +167
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will be NASA's flagship space telescope of the 2040s, designed to search for life on other planets and to transform broad areas of astrophysics.…
A JWST Transmission Spectrum of the Temperate Sub-Neptune TOI-732 c
Frances E. Rigby, Nikku Madhusudhan, Subhajit Sarkar +3
In recent years, JWST has facilitated detections of carbon-bearing molecules in the atmospheres of temperate sub-Neptunes orbiting M dwarfs, ushering in a new era in the characteri…
New Constraints on DMS and DMDS in the Atmosphere of K2-18 b from JWST MIRI
Nikku Madhusudhan, Savvas Constantinou, MÃ¥ns Holmberg +3
The sub-Neptune frontier has opened a new window into the rich diversity of planetary environments beyond the solar system. The possibility of hycean worlds, with planet-wide ocean…
