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…

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…
