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…
Flow-Driven Limb-Asymmetry of Haze Distribution Part I: An Analytical Framework for Predicting the Size Distribution of Photochemical Hazes Across the Two Limbs of hot-Jupiters
Mei Ting Mak, Thaddeus D. Komacek, Nathan J. Mayne +1
Photochemical haze, a common aerosol type expected to form in the atmospheres of hot-Jupiters, can become concentrated to different extents between the morning and evening limbs de…
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…
Benchmarking Photolysis Rates with Socrates (24.11): Species for Earth and Exoplanets
Sophia M. Adams, James Manners, Nathan Mayne +2
Using the Socrates photolysis scheme, we present newly calculated photolysis rates under modern Earth atmospheric conditions for species directly relevant to Earth and species rele…
The Impact of Different Haze Types on the Atmosphere and Observations of Hot Jupiters: 3D Simulations of HD 189733b, HD209458b and WASP-39b
Mei Ting Mak, Denis Sergeev, Nathan Mayne +6
We present the results from the simulations of the atmospheres of hot-Jupiters HD189733b, HD209458b and WASP-39b, assuming the presence of three different types of haze. Using a 3D…
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…
Modeling Atmospheric Ion Escape from Kepler-1649 b and c over Time
Haitao Li, Chuanfei Dong, Lianghai Xie +15
Rocky planets orbiting M-dwarf stars are prime targets for atmospheric characterization, yet their long-term evolution under intense stellar winds and high-energy radiation remains…
Biosignatures from pre-oxygen photosynthesising life on TRAPPIST-1e
Jake K. Eager-Nash, Stuart J. Daines, James W. McDermott +13
In order to assess observational evidence for potential atmospheric biosignatures on exoplanets, it will be essential to test whether spectral fingerprints from multiple gases can…
3D simulations of TRAPPIST-1e with varying CO2, CH4 and haze profiles
Mei Ting Mak, Denis Sergeev, Nathan Mayne +6
Using a 3D General Circulation Model, the Unified Model, we present results from simulations of a tidally-locked TRAPPIST-1e with varying carbon dioxide CO2 and methane CH4 gas con…
Modeling Atmospheric Lines By the Exoplanet Community (MALBEC) version 1.0: A CUISINES radiative transfer intercomparison project
Geronimo L. Villanueva, Thomas J. Fauchez, Vincent Kofman +15
Radiative transfer (RT) models are critical in the interpretation of exoplanetary spectra, in simulating exoplanet climates and when designing the specifications of future flagship…
3D simulations of the Archean Earth including photochemical haze profiles
M. T. Mak, N. J. Mayne, D. E. Sergeev +5
We present results from 3D simulations of the Archean Earth including a prescribed (non-interactive) spherical haze generated through a 1D photochemical model. Our simulations sugg…
