Eva-Maria Ahrer, Charlotte Fairman, James Kirk +20
Hot Jupiters and their atmospheres are prime targets for transmission spectroscopy due to their extended atmospheres and the corresponding large signal-to-noise, providing the best…
The Impact of Different Haze Types on the Atmosphere and Observations of Hot Jupiters: 3D Simulations of HD 189733b, HD209458b and WASP-39b
Mei Ting Mak, Denis Sergeev, Nathan Mayne +6
We present the results from the simulations of the atmospheres of hot-Jupiters HD189733b, HD209458b and WASP-39b, assuming the presence of three different types of haze. Using a 3D…
Overcast mornings and clear evenings in hot Jupiter exoplanet atmospheres
Guangwei Fu, Sagnick Mukherjee, Kevin B. Stevenson +10
Aerosols is an old topic in the young field of exoplanet atmospheres. Understanding what they are, how they form, and where they go has long provided a fertile playground for theor…
Tracing the formation and migration history: molecular signatures in the atmosphere of misaligned hot Jupiter WASP-94Ab using JWST NIRSpec/G395H
Eva-Maria Ahrer, Siddharth Gandhi, Lili Alderson +12
The discovery of hot Jupiters that orbit very close to their host stars has long challenged traditional models of planetary formation and migration. Characterising their atmospheri…
Cloudy mornings and clear evenings on a gas giant exoplanet
Sagnick Mukherjee, David K. Sing, Guangwei Fu +25
The spectra of exoplanet atmospheres are affected by aerosols (clouds and hazes) of uncertain origin. Proposed aerosol formation mechanisms include gas condensation or photochemica…
BOWIE-ALIGN: Sub-stellar metallicity and carbon depletion in the aligned TrES-4b with JWST NIRSpec transmission spectroscopy
Annabella Meech, Alastair B. Claringbold, Eva-Maria Ahrer +19
The formation and migration history of a planet is expected to be imprinted in its atmosphere, in particular its carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio and metallicity. The BOWIE-ALIGN progr…
