JWST NIRCam Defocused Imaging: Photometric Stability Performance and How it Can Sense Mirror Tilts

Everett Schlawin, Thomas Beatty, Brian Brooks +25

We use JWST NIRCam short wavelength photometry to capture a transit lightcurve of the exoplanet HAT-P-14 b to assess performance as part of instrument commissioning. The short wave…

Water and an escaping helium tail detected in the hazy and methane-depleted atmosphere of HAT-P-18b from JWST NIRISS/SOSS

Guangwei Fu, Néstor Espinoza, David K. Sing +11

JWST is here. The early release observation program (ERO) provides us with the first look at the scientific data and the spectral capabilities. One of the targets from ERO is HAT-P…

Early Release Science of the exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRISS

Adina D. Feinstein, Michael Radica, Luis Welbanks +86

Transmission spectroscopy provides insight into the atmospheric properties and consequently the formation history, physics, and chemistry of transiting exoplanets. However, obtaini…

Early Release Science of the exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRCam

Eva-Maria Ahrer, Kevin B. Stevenson, Megan Mansfield +96

Measuring the metallicity and carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio in exoplanet atmospheres is a fundamental step towards constraining the dominant chemical processes at work and, if in eq…

Early Release Science of the exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRSpec PRISM

Z. Rustamkulov, D. K. Sing, S. Mukherjee +91

Transmission spectroscopy of exoplanets has revealed signatures of water vapor, aerosols, and alkali metals in a few dozen exoplanet atmospheres. However, these previous inferences…

APPLESOSS: A Producer of ProfiLEs for SOSS. Application to the NIRISS SOSS Mode

Michael Radica, Loïc Albert, Jake Taylor +12

The SOSS mode of the NIRISS instrument is poised to be one of the workhorse modes for exoplanet atmosphere observations with the newly launched James Webb Space Telescope. One of t…
