Resolving the flat-spectrum conundrum: clumpy aerosol distributions in sub-Neptune atmospheres
James E. Owen, James Kirk
Transmission spectroscopy of sub-Neptunes was expected to reveal their compositions and hence origins, yet many show flat near- to mid-infrared spectra. Such spectra can be explain…
JWST COMPASS: Insights into the Systematic Noise Properties of NIRSpec/G395H From a Uniform Reanalysis of Seven Transmission Spectra
Tyler A. Gordon, Natalie M. Batalha, Natasha E. Batalha +9
JWST has already observed near-infrared transmission spectra of over a dozen super-Earths and sub-Neptunes. While some observations have allowed astronomers to characterize sub-Nep…
Stacking transmission spectra of different exoplanets
James Kirk, James E. Owen
In many areas of astronomy, spectra of different objects are co-added or stacked to improve signal-to-noise and reveal population-level characteristics. As the number of exoplanets…
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…
Searching for helium escape and a low density atmosphere around the 120 Myr old sub-Neptune HIP94235b using CRIRES+
Ava Morrissey, George Zhou, Chelsea X. Huang +6
Atmospheric mass loss is thought to induce the bimodality in the small planet population as we observe it today. Observationally, active mass loss can be traced by excess absorptio…
JWST COMPASS: NIRSpec/G395H Transmission Observations of TOI-776 c, a 2 Rearth M Dwarf Planet
Johanna Teske, Natasha E. Batalha, Nicole L. Wallack +16
The atmospheres of planets between the size of Earth and Neptune at short orbital periods have been under intense scrutiny. Of the ~dozen planets in this regime with atmospheres st…
The Magnetically Induced Radial Velocity Variation of Gliese 341 and an Upper Limit to the Mass of Its Transiting Earth-sized Planet
Victoria DiTomasso, Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Sarah Peacock +5
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission identified a potential 0.88 REarth planet with a period of 7.577 days, orbiting the nearby M1V star GJ 341 (TOI 741.01). Th…
JWST COMPASS: NIRSpec/G395H Transmission Observations of the Super-Earth TOI-776b
Lili Alderson, Sarah E. Moran, Nicole L. Wallack +15
We present two transit observations of the 520K, 1.85R, 4.0M super-Earth TOI-776b with JWST NIRSpec/G395H, resulting in a 2.8-5.2m transmission spectrum.…
Tracing the Winds: A Uniform Interpretation of Helium Escape in Exoplanets from Archival Spectroscopic Observations
Patrick McCreery, Leonardo A. Dos Santos, Néstor Espinoza +2
Over the past decade, observations of evaporating exoplanets have become increasingly common, driven by the discovery of the near-infrared helium-triplet line as a powerful probe o…
