JWST spectral retrieval of cold directly imaged planet WD0806 b and the first measurement of altitude-dependent K in exoplanet atmospheres
Ben W. P. Lew, Thomas Roellig, Natasha E. Batalha +10
WD0806 b is a rare exoplanet companion orbiting a white dwarf, currently with a projected orbital distance of 2500 au. The Spitzer mid-IR photometry suggests that the temperature i…
A Panchromatic Characterization of the Evening and Morning Atmosphere of WASP-107 b: Composition and Cloud Variations, and Insight into the Effect of Stellar Contamination
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…
Probing the Outskirts of M Dwarf Planetary Systems with a Cycle 1 JWST NIRCam Coronagraphy Survey
Ellis Bogat, Joshua E. Schlieder, Kellen D. Lawson +18
The population of giant planets on wide orbits around low-mass M dwarf stars is poorly understood, but the unprecedented sensitivity of JWST NIRCam coronagraphic imaging now provid…
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…
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…
