The JWST Sub-Jupiters Survey: Direct Imaging Discovery of a Giant Planet and a Debris Disk Around the Young M-dwarf RX J0534.0-0221

Rodrigo Ferrer-Chavez, Jason J. Wang, Kevin Wagner +47

We present the discovery of RX J0534.0-0221 b, a giant planet orbiting an M-dwarf star in the Pictoris moving group. RX J0534 was originally observed with JWST/NIRCam in the F4…

A JWST transiting survey of FGK stellar limb darkening: empirical evidence for quadratic laws and atmospheric model comparisons

David K. Sing, Joshua D. Lothringer, Jeff A. Valenti +11

We present a study of stellar limb-darkening using JWST transit observations of seven exoplanets orbiting FGK host stars, spanning 4200-6800 K. The wide wavelength coverage and hig…

A Clearer View of HAT-P-1 b: JWST NIRSpec G395H Reveals Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Possibly Hydrogen Sulfide

Reza Ashtari, Stephen P. Schmidt, Guangwei Fu +16

As part of JWST's Exoplanet Grand Tour Survey, we use panchromatic transmission spectroscopy to connect HAT-P-1 b's previously studied optical and near-infrared atmosphere to the l…

Asymmetric Aerosol Distribution on the Terminators of the Warm Saturn WASP-69 b Revealed by JWST NIRISS/SOSS

Le-Chris Wang, Sagnick Mukherjee, Stephen P. Schmidt +16

How aerosols form, are transported, and cycle between condensation and evaporation across exoplanet temperature regimes remains poorly understood. Recent models and observations su…

Mitigating Charge Migration in JWST NIRISS Reveals That KELT-7 b is a Metal-enriched Ultra-hot Jupiter Orbiting a Young Metal-rich Star

Stephen P. Schmidt, Erin M. May, Joshua D. Lothringer +19

We present the first panchromatic JWST transmission spectrum of an ultra-hot Jupiter, combining NIRISS and NIRSpec observations to constrain KELT-7\,b's atmospheric properties. We…

A Comprehensive Analysis of the Panchromatic Transmission Spectrum of the Hot-Saturn WASP-96 b: Nondetection of Haze, Possible Sodium Limb Asymmetry, Stellar Characterization, and Formation History

Le-Chris Wang, Zafar Rustamkulov, David K. Sing +4

We conduct a reanalysis of the JWST NIRISS/SOSS observation of the hot-Saturn WASP-96 b. Initial analysis of this data revealed an enhanced Rayleigh scattering slope at the blue en…

Cloudy mornings and clear evenings on a gas giant exoplanet

Sagnick Mukherjee, David K. Sing, Guangwei Fu +25

The spectra of exoplanet atmospheres are affected by aerosols (clouds and hazes) of uncertain origin. Proposed aerosol formation mechanisms include gas condensation or photochemica…

Refractory and Volatile Species in the UV-to-IR Transmission Spectrum of Ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-178b with HST and JWST

Joshua D. Lothringer, Katherine A. Bennett, David K. Sing +17

The atmospheres of ultra-hot Jupiters are unique compared to other planets because of the presence of both refractory and volatile gaseous species, enabling a new lens to constrain…

Tracing the Winds: A Uniform Interpretation of Helium Escape in Exoplanets from Archival Spectroscopic Observations

Patrick McCreery, Leonardo A. Dos Santos, Néstor Espinoza +2

Over the past decade, observations of evaporating exoplanets have become increasingly common, driven by the discovery of the near-infrared helium-triplet line as a powerful probe o…

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…

A High-Resolution Non-Detection of Escaping Helium In The Ultra-Hot Neptune LTT 9779b: Evidence for Weakened Evaporation

Shreyas Vissapragada, Patrick McCreery, Leonardo A. Dos Santos +16

The recent discovery of ``ultra-hot'' ( day) Neptunes has come as a surprise: some of these planets have managed to retain gaseous envelopes despite being close enough to th…
