A Panchromatic JWST Spectrum of a Giant Starspot on the Fully Convective M-dwarf TOI-3884

C. A. Murray, L. Garcia, B. V. Rackham +18

TOI-3884 b is a rare super-Neptune transiting a fully convective M dwarf that hosts a persistent giant polar spot. Because the planet occults this active region during every transi…

What's in Your Transit? Towards Reliably Getting More Science from Exoplanet Transit Data

Samson J. Mercier, Julien de Wit, Benjamin V. Rackham

Exoplanetary science heavily relies on transit depth () measurements. Yet, as instrumental precision increases, the uncertainty on appears to increasingly drift from expecta…

Studying the variability of the He triplet to understand the detection limits of evaporating exoplanet atmospheres

Samson J. Mercier, Xavier Dumusque, Vincent Bourrier +20

With more than a dozen significant detections, the helium triplet has emerged as a key tracer of evaporating exoplanet atmospheres. This near-infrared feature can be observed from…

The effect of stellar magnetic activity on measurements of morning and evening asymmetry of planetary terminator

N. Kostogryz, A. I. Shapiro, L. Carone +9

Differences in the ingress and egress shapes of transit light curves can indicate morning-evening temperature contrasts on transiting planets. Here, we pinpoint an alternative mech…

Revisiting the Iconic Spitzer Phase Curve of 55 Cancri e: Hotter Dayside, Cooler Nightside and Smaller Phase Offset

Samson J. Mercier, Lisa Dang, Alexander Gass +2

Thermal phase curves of short period exoplanets provide the best constraints on the atmospheric dynamics and heat transport in their atmospheres. The published Spitzer Space Telesc…
