A New Method for Constraining 3D Exoplanet Atmospheres: Application to WASP-94A b's Panchromatic Spectrum
Sagnick Mukherjee, Luis Welbanks, Guangwei Fu +2
A growing number of transiting exoplanets exhibit spectroscopic evidence that their leading and trailing limbs differ. Interpreting these observations is now the limiting step. The…
Evidence for LP 890-9d via Transit Timing Variations
Kevin B. Stevenson, Guangwei Fu, Kristin S. Sotzen +10
LP 890-9, also known as SPECULOOS-2 and TOI-4306, is a nearby late-M dwarf hosting two confirmed transiting rocky exoplanets. We analyze 20 JWST/NIRSpec PRISM transits of LP 890-9b…
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…
JWST color sequence of transiting exoplanets and directly imaged substellar objects
Guangwei Fu, Joshua D. Lothringer, Sagnick Mukherjee +4
Color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) have been foundational across astrophysics, from galaxies and stars to brown dwarfs, and JWST now extends them to transiting exoplanets and self-lum…
Asymmetric Aerosol Distribution on the Terminators of the Warm Saturn WASP-69 b Revealed by JWST NIRISS/SOSS
Le-Chris Wang, Sagnick Mukherjee, Stephen P. Schmidt +16
How aerosols form, are transported, and cycle between condensation and evaporation across exoplanet temperature regimes remains poorly understood. Recent models and observations su…
Mitigating Charge Migration in JWST NIRISS Reveals That KELT-7 b is a Metal-enriched Ultra-hot Jupiter Orbiting a Young Metal-rich Star
Stephen P. Schmidt, Erin M. May, Joshua D. Lothringer +19
We present the first panchromatic JWST transmission spectrum of an ultra-hot Jupiter, combining NIRISS and NIRSpec observations to constrain KELT-7\,b's atmospheric properties. We…
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 one of the rare giant planets transiting a late M dwarf. Remarkably, both th…
Atmospheric asymmetries in WASP-121 b revealed by rotational transits detected with JWST
Cyril Gapp, Aurélien Falco, Thomas M. Evans-Soma +6
Close-in exoplanets are tidally locked to their host star and thus exhibit extreme atmospheric temperature gradients. It has been theorized that the fraction of star light absorbed…
Photochemical Production of CS2 in Temperate-to-Warm Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres
Jeehyun Yang, Vighnesh Nagpal, Michael Zhang +16
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…
Methane on the temperate exo-Saturn TOI-199b
Aaron Bello-Arufe, Renyu Hu, Mantas Zilinskas +10
Temperate ( K) gas giants represent an unexplored frontier in exoplanet atmospheric spectroscopy. Orbiting a G-type star every days, the Saturn-mass exopl…
The Library of Exoplanet Atmospheric Composition Measurements: Population Level Trends in Exoplanet Composition with ExoComp
Joshua D. Lothringer, Nataliea Lowson, Guangwei Fu
The present-day bulk elemental composition of an exoplanet can provide insight into a planet's formation and evolutionary history. Such information is now being measured for dozens…
A carbon-rich atmosphere on a windy pulsar planet
Michael Zhang, Maya Beleznay, Timothy D. Brandt +17
A handful of enigmatic Jupiter-mass objects have been discovered orbiting pulsars. One such object, PSR\,J2322-2650b, uniquely resembles a hot Jupiter exoplanet due to its minimum…
Additional JWST/NIRSpec Transits of the Rocky M Dwarf Exoplanet GJ 1132 b Reveal a Featureless Spectrum
Katherine A. Bennett, Ryan J. MacDonald, Sarah Peacock +17
As an archetypal M-dwarf rocky exoplanet, GJ 1132 b has a varied history of atmospheric measurements. At 1.13 , 1.66 , and 580 K, it orbits a bright…
Overcast mornings and clear evenings in hot Jupiter exoplanet atmospheres
Guangwei Fu, Sagnick Mukherjee, Kevin B. Stevenson +10
Aerosols is an old topic in the young field of exoplanet atmospheres. Understanding what they are, how they form, and where they go has long provided a fertile playground for theor…
The James Webb Space Telescope NIRSpec-PRISM Transmission Spectrum of the Super-Puff, Kepler-51d
Jessica E. Libby-Roberts, Aaron Bello-Arufe, Zachory K. Berta-Thompson +14
Kepler-51 is a 500 Myr G dwarf hosting three "super-puffs" and one low-mass non-transiting planet. Kepler-51d, the coolest (T_eq ~ 350 K) transiting planet in this system, is also…
Cloudy mornings and clear evenings on a gas giant exoplanet
Sagnick Mukherjee, David K. Sing, Guangwei Fu +25
The spectra of exoplanet atmospheres are affected by aerosols (clouds and hazes) of uncertain origin. Proposed aerosol formation mechanisms include gas condensation or photochemica…
