Migration and Evolution of giant ExoPlanets (MEEP). III. Twenty-Nine Giant Planets from the TESS Mission

Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, David W. Latham +97

We present the discovery and characterization of 29 hot and warm Jupiter systems transiting bright () FGK stars using TESS data and ground-based photometry and spectrosco…

Around the water snowline: I. Effects of dynamical and chemical interplay on mid-infrared water spectra of protoplanetary discs

Till Kaeufer, Sebastiaan Krijt, Edwin A. Bergin +2

Protoplanetary discs' infrared water spectra (e.g. as observed by JWST) encode information about the underlying water distribution and physical conditions. In this work, we examine…

The JDISC Survey: Inner Disk Chemistry of Class I/FS Disks and Tentative Evidence for Early Pebble Drift

Ke Zhang, Andrea Banzatti, Colette Salyk +22

We present the first chemical survey of Class I and Flat-Spectrum (I/FS) disks using JWST MIRI/MRS, targeting sixteen sources in the Ophiuchus star-forming region. Through empirica…

Planetesimal Formation Across the Stellar Mass Spectrum and its Influence on Exoplanet-Inherited Volatile Budgets

Joe Williams, Sebastiaan Krijt, Joanna Drążkowska +1

Protoplanetary discs emerging from collapsing molecular clouds are capable of forming planetesimals at the water snowline during both the cloud collapse and Class II disc phases; s…

The majority of hot Jupiters formed beyond the water ice line

Yaxing He, Bertram Bitsch, Adrien Houge +2

Atmospheric compositions of giant exoplanets can retain information about their formation environments, as volatile species condense at different temperatures in protoplanetary dis…

JWST-DECO: The Impact of Accretion on Mid-Infrared Observable Water in Planet-forming Disks

Jenny K. Calahan, Tarisai Dziire, Karin Öberg +13

The inner few au of a protoplanetary disk hosts the majority of observed exoplanets and is the primary planet-forming zone of the disk. The mid-IR spectra of disks, with its rich f…

The Orbital Eccentricity--Radius Distribution for Warm, Single Planets in TESS

Tyler R. Fairnington, Jiayin Dong, Chelsea X. Huang +40

We characterize the radius-dependent eccentricity distribution of 219 warm (P = 8--50 days) systems with only one transiting planetary candidate identified during Sectors 1-69 of t…

Tracing Pebble Drift History in Two Protoplanetary Disks with CO Enhancement

Tayt Armitage, Joe Williams, Ke Zhang +15

Pebble drift is an important mechanism for supplying the materials needed to build planets in the inner region of protoplanetary disks. Thus, constraining pebble drift's timescales…

Protoplanetary disk cavities with JWST-MIRI: a dichotomy in molecular emission

Patrick Mallaney, Andrea Banzatti, Colette Salyk +24

The evolution of planet-forming regions in protoplanetary disks is of fundamental importance to understanding planet formation. Disks with a central deficit in dust emission, a "ca…

Locked In Ice: how Pebble Drift and Volatile Entrapment can Significantly Impact Carbon and Oxygen Ratios in Evolving Protoplanetary Discs

Joe Williams, Sebastiaan Krijt, Bertram Bitsch +2

The complex interplay between the growth, drift, and sublimation of ice-covered pebbles can strongly influence the volatile distribution and evolution of disc composition, and ther…

Cosmic cascades: How disk substructure regulates the flow of water to inner planetary systems

Sebastiaan Krijt, Andrea Banzatti, Ke Zhang +17

The influx of icy pebbles to the inner regions of protoplanetary disks constitutes a fundamental ingredient in most planet formation theories. The observational determination of th…

Smuggling unnoticed: Towards a 2D view of water and dust delivery to the inner regions of protoplanetary discs

Adrien Houge, Sebastiaan Krijt, Andrea Banzatti +6

Infrared spectroscopy, e.g., with JWST, provides a glimpse into the chemical inventory of the innermost region of protoplanetary discs, where terrestrial planets eventually form. T…

The CO-Fuelled Time Machine: Tracing Birth Conditions and Terrestrial Planet Formation Outcomes in HD 163296 through Pebble Drift-induced CO Enhancements

Joe Williams, Sebastiaan Krijt

The architecture and composition of planetary systems are thought to be strongly influenced by the transport and delivery of dust and volatiles via ices on pebbles during the plane…

The First JWST View of a 30-Myr-old Protoplanetary Disk Reveals a Late-stage Carbon-rich Phase

Feng Long, Ilaria Pascucci, Adrien Houge +20

We present a JWST MIRI/MRS spectrum of the inner disk of WISE J044634.16262756.1B (hereafter J0446B), an old (34 Myr) M4.5 star but with hints of ongoing accretion. The sp…
