Atmospheric Reconnaissance of TRAPPIST-1 f with JWST NIRISS SOSS: No Evidence for the Transit Light Source Effect
Olivia Lim, René Doyon, Ryan J. MacDonald +25
In just over three years of operation, JWST has observed all seven planets of the TRAPPIST-1 system. The two innermost planets were found to have little to no atmosphere, barring t…
Diversity in the haziness and chemistry of temperate sub-Neptunes
Pierre-Alexis Roy, Björn Benneke, Marylou Fournier-Tondreau +17
Recent transit observations of K2-18b and TOI-270d revealed strong molecular absorption signatures, lending credence to the idea that temperate sub-Neptunes (T=250-40…
Separating flare and secondary atmospheric signals with RADYN modeling of near-infrared JWST transmission spectroscopy observations of TRAPPIST-1
Ward S. Howard, Adam F. Kowalski, Michael Radica +10
Although TRAPPIST-1's temperate planets have the highest transmission signals of any known system, flares contaminate 50-70% of transits at the 1000 ppm level, far above 100 ppm se…
No TiO detected in the hot Neptune-desert planet LTT-9779 b in reflected light at high spectral resolution
Sophia R. Vaughan, Jayne L. Birkby, Natasha E. Batalha +12
LTT-9779 b is an inhabitant of the hot Neptune desert and one of only a few planets with a measured high albedo. Characterising the atmosphere of this world is the key to understan…
A complex structure of escaping helium spanning more than half the orbit of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121\,b
Romain Allart, Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Yann Carteret +19
Atmospheric escape of planets on short orbital periods, driven by the host star's irradiation, influences their evolution, composition, and atmospheric dynamics. Our main avenue to…
Possible Evidence for the Presence of Volatiles on the Warm Super-Earth TOI-270 b
Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Björn Benneke, Joshua Krissansen-Totton +25
The search for atmospheres on rocky exoplanets is a crucial step in understanding the processes driving atmosphere formation, retention, and loss. Past studies have revealed the ex…
Precise Constraints on the Energy Budget of WASP-121 b from its JWST NIRISS/SOSS Phase Curve
Jared Splinter, Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Robert C. Frazier +20
Ultra-hot Jupiters exhibit day-to-night temperature contrasts upwards of 1000 K due to competing effects of strong winds, short radiative timescales, magnetic drag, and H2 dissocia…
Strict limits on potential secondary atmospheres on the temperate rocky exo-Earth TRAPPIST-1 d
Caroline Piaulet-Ghorayeb, Björn Benneke, Martin Turbet +23
The nearby TRAPPIST-1 system, with its seven small rocky planets orbiting a late-type M8 star, offers an unprecedented opportunity to search for secondary atmospheres on temperate…
Enriched volatiles and refractories but deficient titanium on the dayside atmosphere of WASP-121b revealed by JWST/NIRISS
Stefan Pelletier, Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Jared Splinter +21
With dayside temperatures elevated enough for all atmospheric constituents to be present in gas form, ultra-hot Jupiters offer a unique opportunity to probe the composition of gian…
JWST NIRISS Transmission Spectroscopy of the Super-Earth GJ 357b, a Favourable Target for Atmospheric Retention
Jake Taylor, Michael Radica, Richard D. Chatterjee +18
We present a JWST NIRISS/SOSS transmission spectrum of the super-Earth GJ 357 b: the first atmospheric observation of this exoplanet. Despite missing the first 40 % of the tr…
Continuous helium absorption from the leading and trailing tails of WASP-107b
Vigneshwaran Krishnamurthy, Yann Carteret, Caroline Piaulet-Ghorayeb +19
The detection of helium escaping the atmosphere of exoplanets has revolutionized our understanding of atmospheric escape and exoplanetary evolution. Using high-precision spectrosco…
A Moderate Albedo from Reflecting Aerosols on the Dayside of WASP-80 b Revealed by JWST/NIRISS Eclipse Spectroscopy
Kim Morel, Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Jason F. Rowe +18
Secondary eclipse observations of exoplanets at near-infrared wavelengths enable the detection of thermal emission and reflected stellar light, providing insights into the thermal…
Constraining the Scattered Light properties of LTT 9779 b Using HST/WFC3 UVIS
Michael Radica, Jake Taylor, Hannah R. Wakeford +5
A planet's albedo is a fundamental property that sets its energy budget by dictating the fraction of incident radiation absorbed versus reflected back to space. Generally, optical…
Highly reflective white clouds on the western dayside of an exo-Neptune
Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Michael Radica, Björn Benneke +19
Highly-irradiated gas giant exoplanets are predicted to show circulation patterns dominated by day-to-night heat transport and a spatial distribution of clouds that is driven by ad…
Transmission spectroscopy of WASP-52 b with JWST NIRISS: Water and helium atmospheric absorption, alongside prominent star-spot crossings
Marylou Fournier-Tondreau, Yanbo Pan, Kim Morel +20
In the era of exoplanet studies with JWST, the transiting, hot gas giant WASP-52 b provides an excellent target for atmospheric characterization through transit spectroscopy. WASP-…
Promise and Peril: Stellar Contamination and Strict Limits on the Atmosphere Composition of TRAPPIST-1c from JWST NIRISS Transmission Spectra
Michael Radica, Caroline Piaulet-Ghorayeb, Jake Taylor +9
Attempts to probe the atmospheres of rocky planets around M dwarfs present both promise and peril. While their favorable planet-to-star radius ratios enable searches for even thin…
