A possible misaligned orbit for the young planet AU Mic c

H. Yu, Z. Garai, M. Cretignier +98

The AU Microscopii planetary system is only 24 Myr old, and its geometry may provide clues about the early dynamical history of planetary systems. Here, we present the first measur…

Evolution of steam worlds: energetic aspects

Artyom Aguichine, Natalie Batalha, Jonathan J. Fortney +3

Sub-Neptunes occupy an intriguing region of planetary mass-radius space, where theoretical models of interior structure predict that they could be water-rich, where water is in ste…

Chemical evolution of an evaporating lava pool

Alfred Curry, Subhanjoy Mohanty, James E. Owen

Many known rocky exoplanets are so highly irradiated that their dayside surfaces are molten, and `silicate atmospheres', composed of rock-forming elements, are generated above thes…

BOWIE-ALIGN: JWST reveals hints of planetesimal accretion and complex sulphur chemistry in the atmosphere of the misaligned hot Jupiter WASP-15b

James Kirk, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Alastair B. Claringbold +23

We present a transmission spectrum of the misaligned hot Jupiter WASP-15b from 2.8-5.2 microns observed with JWST's NIRSpec/G395H grating. Our high signal to noise data, which has…

BOWIE-ALIGN: How formation and migration histories of giant planets impact atmospheric compositions

Anna B. T. Penzlin, Richard A. Booth, James Kirk +15

Hot Jupiters present a unique opportunity for measuring how planet formation history shapes present-day atmospheric composition. However, due to the myriad pathways influencing com…

BOWIE-ALIGN: A JWST comparative survey of aligned vs misaligned hot Jupiters to test the dependence of atmospheric composition on migration history

James Kirk, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Anna B. T. Penzlin +19

A primary objective of exoplanet atmosphere characterisation is to learn about planet formation and evolution, however, this is challenged by degeneracies. To determine whether dif…

Non-Detections of Helium in the Young Sub-Jovian Planets K2-100b, HD 63433b, & V1298 Tau c

Munazza K. Alam, James Kirk, Leonardo A. Dos Santos +10

We search for excess in-transit absorption of neutral helium at 1.083 m in the atmospheres of the young (<800 Myr) sub-Jovian (0.2-0.5 ) planets HD 63433b, K2-100b, a…
