The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems VIII: patchy forsterite and enstatite clouds in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b, retrieval lessons learned and outlook to the future
Niall Whiteford, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +123
JWST defines a new era for the data-driven approach of retrieval modelling, which has become a cornerstone tool for the statistical inference of exoplanetary and brown dwarf proper…
CHEOPS photometry from 2024 reveals a reversal in the transit-timing variations of AU Mic c
Z. Garai, Gy. M. Szabó, D. Gandolfi +90
We present new CHEOPS transit observations of AU Mic b and AU Mic c obtained between June and September 2024, extending the baseline of transit-timing measurements of this young pl…
A population view of transiting hot giant exoplanets: Tracing Fe and Ti chemistry with ESPRESSO and MAROON-X
Bibiana Prinoth, Vivien Parmentier, Stefan Pelletier +9
Hot and ultra-hot Jupiters offer a unique laboratory to study atmospheric chemistry at the population level using ground-based high-resolution spectroscopy. Fe and Ti are key trace…
FastChem 4: New chemical elements and improved convergence behaviour
Daniel Kitzmann, Joachim W. Stock, A. Beate C. Patzer
Chemical equilibrium calculations are a key ingredient for modelling and interpreting spectroscopic observations of (exo)planets, brown dwarfs, cool stars, and protoplanetary disks…
An Ultra-Short Period Super-Earth and a Sub-Neptune Orbiting the K dwarf TOI-4311
Yoshi Nike Emilia Eschen, Thomas G. Wilson, Andrew Collier Cameron +95
We report the discovery and characterisation of the multi-planetary system around TOI-4311, a K dwarf kinematically between the Galactic thick disk and Hercules stream. TOI-4311 ho…
NCCR PlanetS: Observational and computational characterization of exoplanet atmospheres
Daniel Kitzmann, Elspeth K. H. Lee, Jens Hoeijmakers +1
This chapter reviews the current state of observational and theoretical efforts in the characterization of exoplanet atmospheres, with a focus on developments enabled through the S…
