BOWIE-ALIGN: Weak spectral features in KELT-7b's JWST NIRSpec/G395H transmission spectrum imply a high cloud deck or a low-metallicity atmosphere

Eva-Maria Ahrer, Charlotte Fairman, James Kirk +20

Hot Jupiters and their atmospheres are prime targets for transmission spectroscopy due to their extended atmospheres and the corresponding large signal-to-noise, providing the best…

Tracing the formation and migration history: molecular signatures in the atmosphere of misaligned hot Jupiter WASP-94Ab using JWST NIRSpec/G395H

Eva-Maria Ahrer, Siddharth Gandhi, Lili Alderson +12

The discovery of hot Jupiters that orbit very close to their host stars has long challenged traditional models of planetary formation and migration. Characterising their atmospheri…

On Linking Planet Formation Models, Protoplanetary Disk Properties, and Mature Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres

Adina D. Feinstein, Richard A. Booth, Jennifer B. Bergner +34

Measuring a single elemental ratio (e.g., carbon-to-oxygen) provides insufficient information for understanding the formation mechanisms and evolution that affect our observations…

BOWIE-ALIGN: Sub-stellar metallicity and carbon depletion in the aligned TrES-4b with JWST NIRSpec transmission spectroscopy

Annabella Meech, Alastair B. Claringbold, Eva-Maria Ahrer +19

The formation and migration history of a planet is expected to be imprinted in its atmosphere, in particular its carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio and metallicity. The BOWIE-ALIGN progr…

Efficient and inefficient hydrodynamic escape of exo-satellite atmospheres driven by irradiation from their young giant planets

Matthäus Schulik, James E. Owen, Richard A. Booth +2

The bolometric radiation from a central body is potentially a powerful driver of atmospheric escape from planets or satellites. When heated above their equilibrium temperatures tho…

A possible trail of dust from a young, highly-extincted brown dwarf in the outskirts of the Trapezium Cluster

Thomas J. Haworth, Mark J. McCaughrean, Samuel G. Pearson +1

We present the JWST discovery of a highly-extincted () candidate brown dwarf (M) in the outskirts of the Trapezium Cluster that appears to be coincide…
