Matthew M. Murphy, Thomas G. Beatty, Everett Schlawin +16
Limb-resolved transmission spectroscopy has the potential to transform our understanding of exoplanetary atmospheres. By separately measuring the transmission spectra of the evenin…
A JWST Panchromatic Thermal Emission Spectrum of the Warm Neptune Archetype GJ 436b
Sagnick Mukherjee, Everett Schlawin, Taylor J. Bell +10
GJ 436b is the archetype warm Neptune exoplanet. The planet's thermal emission spectrum was previously observed via intensive secondary eclipse campaigns with Spitzer. The atmosphe…
JWST sighting of decameter main-belt asteroids and view on meteorite sources
Artem Y. Burdanov, Julien de Wit, Miroslav Brož +19
Asteroid discoveries are essential for planetary-defense efforts aiming to prevent impacts with Earth, including the more frequent megaton explosions from decameter impactors. Whil…
Combined analysis of the 12.8 and 15 JWST/MIRI eclipse observations of TRAPPIST-1 b
Elsa Ducrot, Pierre-Olivier Lagage, Michiel Min +36
The first JWST/MIRI photometric observations of TRAPPIST-1 b allowed for the detection of the thermal emission of the planet at 15 , suggesting that the planet could be a bare…
Possible Carbon Dioxide Above the Thick Aerosols of GJ 1214 b
Everett Schlawin, Kazumasa Ohno, Taylor J. Bell +14
Sub-Neptune planets with radii smaller than Neptune (3.9 Re) are the most common type of planet known to exist in The Milky Way, even though they are absent in the Solar System. Th…
A Possible Metal-Dominated Atmosphere Below the Thick Aerosols of GJ 1214 b Suggested by its JWST Panchromatic Transmission Spectrum
Kazumasa Ohno, Everett Schlawin, Taylor J. Bell +9
GJ1214b is the archetype sub-Neptune for which thick aerosols have prevented us from constraining its atmospheric properties for over a decade. In this study, we leverage the panch…

The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI)'s Medium Resolution Spectrometer (the MRS) on JWST has potentially important advantages for transit and eclipse spectroscopy of exoplanets, inclu…
Hydrogen sulfide and metal-enriched atmosphere for a Jupiter-mass exoplanet
Guangwei Fu, Luis Welbanks, Drake Deming +15
As the closest transiting hot Jupiter to Earth, HD 189733b has been the benchmark planet for atmospheric characterization. It has also been the anchor point for much of our theoret…
