Escaping Helium and a Highly Muted Spectrum Suggest a Metal-Enriched Atmosphere on Sub-Neptune GJ3090b from JWST Transit Spectroscopy

Eva-Maria Ahrer, Michael Radica, Caroline Piaulet-Ghorayeb +27

Sub-Neptunes, the most common planet type, remain poorly understood. Their atmospheres are expected to be diverse, but their compositions are challenging to determine, even with JW…

A Pair of Dynamically Interacting Sub-Neptunes Around TOI-6054

Maxwell A. Kroft, Thomas G. Beatty, Ian J. M. Crossfield +31

We confirm the planetary nature of a pair of transiting sub-Neptune exoplanets orbiting the bright F-type sub-giant star TOI-6054 (, ) as a part of the OrCAS radia…

OrCAS: Origins, Compositions, and Atmospheres of Sub-neptunes. I. Survey Definition

Ian J. M. Crossfield, Alex S. Polanski, Paul Robertson +61

Sub-Neptunes - volatile-rich exoplanets smaller than Neptune - are intrinsically the most common type of planet known. However, the formation and nature of these objects, as well a…

JWST/NIRISS reveals the water-rich "steam world" atmosphere of GJ 9827 d

Caroline Piaulet-Ghorayeb, Bjorn Benneke, Michael Radica +30

With sizable volatile envelopes but smaller radii than the solar system ice giants, sub-Neptunes have been revealed as one of the most common types of planet in the galaxy. While t…
