Atmospheric asymmetries in WASP-121 b revealed by rotational transits detected with JWST
Cyril Gapp, Aurélien Falco, Thomas M. Evans-Soma +6
Close-in exoplanets are tidally locked to their host star and thus exhibit extreme atmospheric temperature gradients. It has been theorized that the fraction of star light absorbed…
KRONOS II: Solar-like Umbra and Penumbra Properties on the Young Sun V1298~Tau
Matthew M. Murphy, Adina D. Feinstein, Meir E. Schochet +14
Transiting exoplanets provide a unique laboratory for studying stellar surface heterogeneities via starspot or facular occultations. When observed at multiple wavelengths, this con…
Characterizing Transiting Exoplanet Atmospheres in the 2030s with the Hubble Space Telescope
Joshua D. Lothringer, Hannah R. Wakeford, Robert C. Frazier +7
The Hubble Space Telescope inaugurated the era of exoplanet atmospheric characterization. While the James Webb Space Telescope has largely taken up the mantle of infrared atmospher…
The Neptunian ridge planet WASP-156 b does not have a polar orbit
M. Lafarga, J. I. Espinoza-Retamal, H. M. Cegla +25
The population of short-period exo-Neptunes is thought to be shaped by an interplay between different dynamical mechanisms, such as orbital migration and tidal effects, and photoev…
Super-Solar Metallicity and Tentative Evidence for Photochemistry on WASP-96b from JWST and Ground-Based VLT Transmission Spectroscopy
Michael Radica, Jake Taylor, Yoav Rotman +13
With its expanded wavelength coverage and increased precision compared to previous space-based observatories, JWST provides the opportunity to revisit benchmark planets and view th…
BOWIE-ALIGN: Exploring degeneracies in the muted transmission spectrum of the aligned hot Jupiter NGTS-2b with NIRSpec/G395H
Charlotte Fairman, Hannah R. Wakeford, Alastair B. Claringbold +15
We present the first atmospheric observation and characterisation of the aligned, 1468 K hot Jupiter, NGTS-2b, with one JWST NIRSpec/G395H transit. These observations complete the…
