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…

Towards a self-consistent evaluation of gas dwarf scenarios for temperate sub-Neptunes

Frances E. Rigby, Lorenzo Pica-Ciamarra, MÃ¥ns Holmberg +6

The recent JWST detections of carbon-bearing molecules in a habitable-zone sub-Neptune have opened a new era in the study of low-mass exoplanets. The sub-Neptune regime spans a wid…
