Cool, Cloudy Nights on an Ultrahot Neptune: A Panchromatic NIRISS/NIRSpec Transmission Spectrum of LTT 9779 b

Sarah Stamer, Diana Dragomir, Annabella Meech +13

Studies of planets that reside in the hot Neptune desert allow us to gain insight into how their atmospheres survive the intense flux from their host stars. One such member of that…

A Clearer View of HAT-P-1 b: JWST NIRSpec G395H Reveals Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Possibly Hydrogen Sulfide

Reza Ashtari, Stephen P. Schmidt, Guangwei Fu +16

As part of JWST's Exoplanet Grand Tour Survey, we use panchromatic transmission spectroscopy to connect HAT-P-1 b's previously studied optical and near-infrared atmosphere to the l…
