CARMApy: An Open-Source Python Framework for Simulating Microphysical Clouds in Planetary Atmospheres
Wolf Cukier, Diana Powell, Xi Zhang +3
CARMApy is a new open-source python code that performs bin-scheme microphysical modeling of clouds in exoplanet atmospheres. It models key cloud properties such as particle size di…
C, N, O, S, and photochemistry in a temperate giant planet orbiting a late M dwarf
Michael Zhang, Qiao Xue, Jeehyun Yang +20
We report the JWST NIRSpec/PRISM transit spectrum of TOI-6894b, an exceptional 420 K sub-Saturn that is the only known giant planet transiting a late M dwarf. Remarkably, both the…
Photochemical Production of CS2 in Temperate-to-Warm Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres
Jeehyun Yang, Vighnesh Nagpal, Michael Zhang +15
Sulfur chemistry has emerged as an important probe of exoplanet atmospheres in the JWST era, although observational constraints have thus far been largely limited to SO2 and H2S in…
The unique ability of the Hubble Space Telescope to characterize young exoplanet environments
Keighley E. Rockcliffe, Allison Youngblood, Kevin France +10
The chemical and mass evolution of exoplanet atmospheres is shaped by their specific X-ray through ultraviolet (5 - 3200 Angstroms) irradiance history. X-ray and EUV (5 - 911 Angst…
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
Wolf Cukier, Dominic Samra, Vighnesh Nagpal +3
Speculative fiction has long served an inspiration for genuine scientific inquiry. One notable work that has almost acted in this manner is the the seminal comedic speculative fict…
