A Search for helium in the atmospheres of three sub-Neptunes and a super-Earth around M-dwarfs

Kiyoe Kawauchi, Norio Narita, Yuichi Ito +26

Thousands of sub-Neptunes have been discovered mainly through space-based surveys such as Kepler and TESS. Their bulk compositions and internal structures are thought to reflect th…

Coupling magma-ocean and atmospheres in spectral retrievals of sub-Neptunes

Yuichi Ito, Quentin Changeat

Recent high-precision atmospheric observations with JWST is enabling detailed characterization of sub-Neptune atmospheres and motivating efforts to understand and constrain their i…

On the synergetic use of Ariel and JWST for exoplanet atmospheric science

Quentin Changeat, Pierre-Olivier Lagage, Giovanna Tinetti +27

This paper explores the potential for strategic synergies between the JWST and the Ariel telescopes, two flagship observatories poised to revolutionise the study of exoplanet atmos…

Monosilane Worlds: Sub-Neptunes with Atmospheres Shaped by Reduced Magma Oceans

Yuichi Ito, Tadahiro Kimura, Kazumasa Ohno +2

High-precision infrared spectroscopic measurements now enable detailed characterization of sub-Neptune atmospheres, potentially providing constraints on their interiors. Motivated…

Role of magma oceans in controlling carbon and oxygen of sub-Neptune atmospheres

Chanoul Seo, Yuichi Ito, Yuka Fujii

Most exoplanets with a few Earth radii are more inflated than bare-rock planets with the same mass, indicating a substantial volatile amount. Neither the origin of the volatiles no…

A secondary atmosphere on the rocky exoplanet 55 Cancri e

Renyu Hu, Aaron Bello-Arufe, Michael Zhang +14

Characterizing rocky exoplanets is a central endeavor of astronomy, and yet the search for atmospheres on rocky exoplanets has hitherto resulted in either tight upper limits on the…
