The breaking of cold traps and onset of titanium in ultra-hot Jupiter atmospheres: WASP-189b in context
Stefan Pelletier, Romain Allart, Valentina Vaulato +56
Condensates are ubiquitous to all Solar System planets with significant (10mbar) atmospheres. The same is true for most exoplanets with characterised atmospheres, with even ultr…
Super-Earth masses and stellar abundances from NIRPS reveal tentative evidence for water-rich formation around M dwarfs
Drew Weisserman, Nicole Gromek, Ryan Cloutier +98
Tracing the compositional link between terrestrial super-Earths and their host stars provides clues to their dominant formation pathway. By constraining the stellar abundances of r…
Mapping atmospheric features of the planetary-mass brown dwarf SIMP 0136 with JWST NIRISS
Roman Akhmetshyn, Etienne Artigau, Nicolas B. Cowan +9
In this paper, we analyze James Webb Space Telescope Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph time-series spectroscopy data to characterize the atmosphere of the planetary-ma…
TOI-4552 b: A new ultra-short period rocky world revealed by NIRPS and TESS
Avidaan Srivastava, René Doyon, François Bouchy +57
A particularly intriguing subclass of rocky exoplanets are the ultra-short period (USP) worlds that orbit their host stars in less than a day. These planets are particularly rare a…
Confirmation of the hot super-Neptune TOI-672 b with NIRPS and HARPS and Insights into the Neptunian desert around M dwarfs
Ares Osborn, Ryan Cloutier, Vincent Bourrier +65
The Neptunian desert is a distinct lack of Neptune-sized planets at short orbital periods, purportedly carved by photoevaporation and tidal circularization following high-eccentric…
Mapping the Cloud-Driven Atmospheric Dynamics & Chemistry of an Isolated Exoplanet Analog with Harmonic Signatures
Michael K. Plummer, Francis P. Cocchini, Peter A. Kearns +12
Young planetary-mass objects and brown dwarfs near the L/T spectral transition exhibit enhanced spectrophotometric variability over field brown dwarfs. Patchy clouds, auroral proce…
