The First Hubble Detection of a Secondary Eclipse from a Rocky Exoplanet: the 5.4-hour planet TOI-2431 b

Sebastian Zieba, Billy Edwards, Samuel N. Quinn +18

We present an HST/WFC3 G141 phase-curve observation of the ultra-short-period rocky planet TOI-2431 b and detect its secondary eclipse in the near infrared. Combined with the TESS…

Probing Exoplanetary Chemistry with Ariel: Scientific Priorities and Observational Strategies

Olivia Venot, Yamila Miguel, Robin Baeyens +30

Over the past two decades, increasingly precise observations have revealed that exoplanet atmospheres are chemically diverse and often far from equilibrium, with processes such as…

Thermal Evolution of Lava Planets Across System Ages: Predictions for Hell of a Survey

Mariana Sastre, Tim Lichtenberg, Lisa Dang +22

Ultra-short-period (USP) rocky exoplanets can have dayside temperatures high enough to maintain permanent magma oceans, sitting at the intersection of interior geophysics and atmos…

Coupled atmospHere Interior modeL Intercomparison (CHILI). I. Evolutionary Modelling -- Primordial Magma Oceans of Earth and Venus

Harrison Nicholls, Joshua Krissansen-Totton, Tim Lichtenberg +22

Earth and Venus represent two evolutionary outcomes arising from initially molten 'magma ocean' periods, followed by lifetimes of chemical and geophysical divergence. Their physics…

Strong and variable stratospheric CO emission from lava-planet 55 Cnc e observed with NIRCam/JWST

Ignas Snellen, Yamila Miguel, Leoni Janssen +4

Some rocky planets orbit so close to their host stars that stellar heating melts their surfaces. They offer a rare glimpse of planets in a magma-ocean state, providing an observabl…

Hot and cloudy: High temperature clouds in super-Earths and sub-Neptunes

Leoni J. Janssen, Yamila Miguel, Michiel Min +3

JWST observations provide for the first time evidence for an atmosphere on a rocky exoplanet - 55 Cnc e. The atmosphere of 55 Cnc e is hot with K and sho…

Coupled atmospHere Interior modeL Intercomparison (CHILI) Protocol Version 1.0: A CUISINES Intercomparison Project of Magma Ocean Models

Tim Lichtenberg, Laura Schaefer, Joshua Krissansen-Totton +23

Spectroscopic characterization of rocky exoplanets with the James Webb Space Telescope has brought the origin and evolution of their atmospheres into the focus of exoplanet science…

Characterising the Atmosphere of 55 Cancri e: 1D Forward Model Grid for Current and Future JWST Observations

Mantas Zilinskas, Christiaan van Buchem, Sebastian Zieba +9

Recent JWST observations with NIRCam and MIRI of the ultra-short-period super-Earth 55 Cancri e indicate a possible volatile atmosphere surrounding the planet. Previous analysis of…

The sulphur species in hot rocky exoplanet atmospheres

L. J. Janssen, P. Woitke, O. Herbort +4

The first JWST observations of hot Jupiters showed an unexpected detection of SO2 in their hydrogen-rich atmospheres. We investigate how much sulphur can be expected in the atmosph…
