The Longest-period Young Transiting Exoplanets. A Duo of Puffy Giants inside a Debris Disk

Carlos del Burgo, Alejandro Suárez Mascareño, Ana Heras Pastor +35

We identify two large-radius planets around the F-type star HD 114082 as the longest-period young transiting exoplanets known. From the first transit, detected by NASA's Transiting…

Juno Microwave Radiometer Observations Reveal A Warmer Polar Atmosphere on Jupiter

Jiheng Hu, Cheng Li, Sushil K. Atreya +15

The intriguing circumpolar cyclone pattern at Jupiter's poles raises fundamental questions about how these systems are organized vertically and, further, how the planet's internal…

JWST unveils a high mean molecular weight atmosphere for mini-Neptune TOI-1130b: Evidence for formation beyond the water ice line

Saugata Barat, Tyler Fairnington, Shelby Courreges +21

We present the combined JWST/NIRSpec G395H and NIRISS SOSS transmission spectrum of a warm mini-Neptune, TOI-1130b (3.66 R, 19.8 M, K). It is…

The tale of the 3 planets: 3D cloud feedback enhances the spectral diversity of warm Jupiters

Nishil Mehta, Vivien Parmentier, Xianyu Tan +14

JWST has shown a large diversity in warm Jupiter spectra, despite only small variations in the planetary parameters. However, the main driver of this diversity remains unclear. We…

Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Key Targets of Opportunity on Gas and Ice Giants and their satellites

Ricardo Hueso, Leigh N. Fletcher, Damya Souami +15

The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will transform our knowledge of the outer planets and their satellite systems; however the visibility of unique targets of opportunity with high…

Cloudy solutions for the clear skies of WASP-80b: 3D cloud feedback on the atmosphere and spectra of a warm Jupiter

Nishil Mehta, Vivien Parmentier, Xianyu Tan +14

Close-in warm Jupiters orbiting M dwarf stars are expected to exhibit diverse atmospheric chemistry, with clouds playing a key role in shaping their albedo, heat distribution, and…

Late gas released in the young Kuiper belt could have significantly contributed to the carbon enrichment of the atmospheres of Neptune and Uranus

Paul Huet, Quentin Kral, Tristan Guillot

Exo-Kuiper belts have been observed for decades, but the recent detection of gas in some of them may change our view of the Solar System's youth. Late gas produced by the sublimati…

Conditions for radiative zones in the molecular hydrogen envelope of Jupiter and Saturn: The role of alkali metals

Louis Siebenaler, Yamila Miguel, Sam de Regt +1

Interior models of gas giants in the Solar System traditionally assume a fully convective molecular hydrogen envelope. However, recent observations from the Juno mission suggest a…

Stable stratification of the helium rain layer yields vastly different interiors and magnetic fields for Jupiter and Saturn

Steve Markham, Tristan Guillot

At sufficiently high pressures (~Mbar) and low temperatures (~1e3-1eK), hydrogen and helium become partly immiscible. Interpretations of Jupiter and Saturn's magnetic fields favor…
