JWST-TST High Contrast: First Direct Spectroscopy of GJ 504 b reveals Clouds and Possible Metal Enrichment

Aneesh Baburaj, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Marshall Perrin +27

Characterizing the coldest directly imaged companions through direct spectroscopy has only recently become possible with the James Webb Space Telescope. We present moderate-resolut…

The Roasting Marshmallows Program with IGRINS on Gemini South V: Atmosphere of MASCARA-1b is Enriched in Refractory Elements

Krishna Kanumalla, Michael R. Line, Martina Chiarella +75

Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs; K) enable simultaneous detection of volatile (ice-forming) and refractory (rock-forming) species in planetary atmospheres, provi…

JWST-TST High Contrast: Medium-resolution spectroscopy reveals a carbon-rich circumplanetary disk around the young accreting exoplanet Delorme 1 AB b

Mathilde Mâlin, Kimberly Ward-Duong, Sierra L. Grant +21

Young accreting planetary-mass objects are thought to draw material from a circumplanetary disk (CPD) composed of gas and dust. While the gas within the disk is expected to dispers…

JWST/NIRSpec Detects Warm CO Emission in the Terrestrial-Planet Zone of HD 131488

Cicero X. Lu, Isabel Rebollido, Sean Brittain +12

We have obtained a high-resolution, JWST NIRSpec -- m spectrum of the debris disk around HD 131488. We discover CO fundamental emission indicating the presence of…

Sequencing Silicates in the IRS Debris Disk Catalog I: Methodology for Unsupervised Clustering

Cicero X. Lu, Tushar Mittal, Christine H. Chen +10

Debris disks, which consist of dust, planetesimals, planets, and gas, offer a unique window into the mineralogical composition of their parent bodies, especially during the critica…

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…
