JWST NIRSpec G395H Transmission Spectra of Two Similar Sub-Neptunes in the TOI-125 System

Yiwei Chai, Néstor Espinoza, Chloe Fisher +10

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has enabled the first in-depth characterisations of sub-Neptune atmospheres, revealing a diversity of chemical compositions and cloud properti…

A parameterised approach to disequilibrium retrievals in the JWST era: Application to NIRCam observations of HD 189733b

Jake Taylor, Shang-Min Tsai, Vivien Parmentier +2

Atmospheric retrievals are a widely used technique for inferring the physical and chemical properties of exoplanetary atmospheres from observed spectra. A common simplifying assump…

Hot Rocks Survey V: Secondary Eclipse Photometry of GJ 3473 b with JWST/MIRI

Måns Holmberg, Hannah Diamond-Lowe, João M. Mendonça +16

JWST is transforming our ability to characterise small exoplanets, from sub-Neptunes to rocky worlds. A key open question is whether highly irradiated rocky planets can retain atmo…

Mantle Convection and Nightside Volcanism on Lava World K2-141 b

Tobias G. Meier, Claire Marie Guimond, Raymond T. Pierrehumbert +13

Ultra-short period lava worlds offer a unique window into the coupled evolution of planetary interior and atmospheres under extreme irradiation. In this study, we investigate the m…

BOWIE-ALIGN: Sub-solar C/O ratio and metallicity atmosphere of the misaligned hot Jupiter HAT-P-30b

Alastair B. Claringbold, Chloe E. Fisher, James Kirk +18

We present the JWST NIRSpec/G395H transmission spectrum of the misaligned hot Jupiter HAT-P-30b from 2.8--5.2 m as part of the BOWIE-ALIGN survey, a comparative survey designed…

JWST NIRSpec finds no clear signs of an atmosphere on TOI-1685 b

Chloe E. Fisher, Matthew J. Hooton, Amélie Gressier +21

Determining the prevalence of atmospheres on terrestrial planets is a core objective in exoplanetary science. While M dwarf systems offer a promising opportunity, conclusive observ…

Doppler Shifted Transient Sodium Detection by KECK/HIRES

Athira Unni, Apurva V. Oza, H. Jens Hoeijmakers +12

We carried out the first high-resolution transit observations of the exoplanet WASP-49 Ab with Keck/HIRES. Upon custom wavelength calibration we achieve a Doppler RV precision of $…

Limits on the atmospheric metallicity and aerosols of the sub-Neptune GJ 3090 b from high-resolution CRIRES+ spectroscopy

Luke T. Parker, João M. Mendonça, Hannah Diamond-Lowe +9

The sub-Neptune planets have no solar system analogues, and their low bulk densities suggest thick atmospheres containing degenerate quantities of volatiles and H/He, surrounding c…

A Comprehensive Reanalysis of K2-18 b's JWST NIRISS+NIRSpec Transmission Spectrum

Stephen P. Schmidt, Ryan J. MacDonald, Shang-Min Tsai +13

Sub-Neptunes are the most common type of planet in our galaxy. Interior structure models suggest that the coldest sub-Neptunes could host liquid water oceans underneath their hydro…

BOWIE-ALIGN: JWST reveals hints of planetesimal accretion and complex sulphur chemistry in the atmosphere of the misaligned hot Jupiter WASP-15b

James Kirk, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Alastair B. Claringbold +23

We present a transmission spectrum of the misaligned hot Jupiter WASP-15b from 2.8-5.2 microns observed with JWST's NIRSpec/G395H grating. Our high signal to noise data, which has…

Redshifted Sodium Transient near Exoplanet Transit

Apurva V. Oza, Julia V. Seidel, H. Jens Hoeijmakers +21

Neutral sodium (Na I) is an alkali metal with a favorable absorption cross section such that tenuous gases are easily illuminated at select transiting exoplanet systems. We examine…

JWST/NIRISS and HST: Exploring the improved ability to characterise exoplanet atmospheres in the JWST era

Chloe Fisher, Jake Taylor, Vivien Parmentier +6

The Hubble Space Telescope has been a pioneering instrument for studying the atmospheres of exoplanets, specifically its WFC3 and STIS instruments. With the launch of JWST, we are…

BOWIE-ALIGN: A JWST comparative survey of aligned vs misaligned hot Jupiters to test the dependence of atmospheric composition on migration history

James Kirk, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Anna B. T. Penzlin +19

A primary objective of exoplanet atmosphere characterisation is to learn about planet formation and evolution, however, this is challenged by degeneracies. To determine whether dif…
