Reliability of 1D radiative-convective photochemical-equilibrium retrievals on transit spectra of WASP-107b
Thomas Konings, Linus Heinke, Robin Baeyens +3
Observations of WASP-107b suggest a metal-rich and carbon-deprived atmosphere with an extremely hot interior based on detections of SO, HO, CO, CO, NH, and CH.…
A new pathway to SO: Revealing the NUV driven sulfur chemistry in hot gas giants
Wiebe de Gruijter, Shang-Min Tsai, Michiel Min +3
Context. Photochemistry is a key process driving planetary atmospheres away from local thermodynamic equilibrium. Recent observations of the H dominated atmospheres of hot gas…
SO2, silicate clouds, but no CH4 detected in a warm Neptune
Achrene Dyrek, Michiel Min, Leen Decin +44
WASP-107b is a warm (~740 K) transiting planet with a Neptune-like mass of ~30.5 Earth masses and Jupiter-like radius of ~0.94 Jupiter radius, whose extended atmosphere is eroding.…
Impact of stellar flares on the chemical composition and transmission spectra of gaseous exoplanets orbiting M dwarfs
Thomas Konings, Robin Baeyens, Leen Decin
Stellar flares of active M dwarfs can affect the atmospheric composition of close-orbiting gas giants, and can result in time-dependent transmission spectra. We aim to examine the…
Grid of pseudo-2D chemistry models for tidally locked exoplanets -- II. The role of photochemistry
Robin Baeyens, Thomas Konings, Olivia Venot +2
Photochemistry is expected to change the chemical composition of the upper atmospheres of irradiated exoplanets through the dissociation of species, such as methane and ammonia, an…
