The atomic C/O ratio of KELT-9b
Stefan Pelletier, Nicholas W. Borsato, Jacob L. Bean +12
The carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio of a giant planet's atmosphere has long been theorised to hold compositional information that can be traced back to its formation history. Typicall…
Potential sublimating exocomets around the young star PDS 70
Aline Novais, H. Jens Hoeijmakers, Alexandra Stockwell Murphy +4
Recent observations by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have indicated the presence of water in the inner regions of the disc around the young protostar PDS 70, but the origin…
Magnetic field strengths of hot giant exoplanets consistent with Solar System values
Julia V. Seidel, Vivien Parmentier, Bibiana Prinoth +29
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the universe. They play a key role in shaping the activity of stars, the habitability of rocky planets, and the long-term retention of planetary a…

The population of Jupiter-sized exoplanets with orbital periods between 10 and 200 days (WJs) exhibits a broad range of orbital eccentricities and system architectures, suggesting…
HAT-P-70b through the Eyes of MAROON-X: Constraining Elemental Abundances of Metals and Insights on Atmosphere Dynamics
Shi Lin Sun, Stefan Pelletier, Björn Benneke +6
Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are exceptional laboratories for studying planetary atmospheres under extreme irradiation conditions. With close-in tidally locked orbits, these planets c…
Hot Rocks Survey V: Secondary Eclipse Photometry of GJ 3473 b with JWST/MIRI
Måns Holmberg, Hannah Diamond-Lowe, João M. Mendonça +16
JWST is transforming our ability to characterise small exoplanets, from sub-Neptunes to rocky worlds. A key open question is whether highly irradiated rocky planets can retain atmo…
JWST NIRSpec finds no clear signs of an atmosphere on TOI-1685 b
Chloe E. Fisher, Matthew J. Hooton, Amélie Gressier +21
Determining the prevalence of atmospheres on terrestrial planets is a core objective in exoplanetary science. While M dwarf systems offer a promising opportunity, conclusive observ…

Valentina Vaulato, Melissa J. Hobson, Romain Allart +57
Ultra-hot Jupiters like WASP-121b provide unique laboratories for studying atmospheric chemistry and dynamics under extreme irradiation. Constraining their composition and circulat…
Hot Rocks Survey IV: Emission from LTT 3780 b is consistent with a bare rock
Natalie H. Allen, Néstor Espinoza, Hannah Diamond-Lowe +19
It is an open question whether small planets around M dwarfs are able to maintain atmospheres. The Hot Rocks Survey aims to address this question by observing 9 rocky exoplanets or…
On Linking Planet Formation Models, Protoplanetary Disk Properties, and Mature Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres
Adina D. Feinstein, Richard A. Booth, Jennifer B. Bergner +34
Measuring a single elemental ratio (e.g., carbon-to-oxygen) provides insufficient information for understanding the formation mechanisms and evolution that affect our observations…
