BOWIE-ALIGN: Sub-solar C/O ratio and metallicity atmosphere of the misaligned hot Jupiter HAT-P-30b

Alastair B. Claringbold, Chloe E. Fisher, James Kirk +18

We present the JWST NIRSpec/G395H transmission spectrum of the misaligned hot Jupiter HAT-P-30b from 2.8--5.2 m as part of the BOWIE-ALIGN survey, a comparative survey designed…

BOWIE-ALIGN: Weak spectral features in KELT-7b's JWST NIRSpec/G395H transmission spectrum imply a high cloud deck or a low-metallicity atmosphere

Eva-Maria Ahrer, Charlotte Fairman, James Kirk +20

Hot Jupiters and their atmospheres are prime targets for transmission spectroscopy due to their extended atmospheres and the corresponding large signal-to-noise, providing the best…

The TESS Grand Unified Hot Jupiter Survey. III. Thirty More Giant Planets

Samuel W. Yee, Joshua N. Winn, Joel D. Hartman +123

We present the discovery of 30 transiting giant planets that were initially detected using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. These new planets…

BOWIE-ALIGN: Sub-stellar metallicity and carbon depletion in the aligned TrES-4b with JWST NIRSpec transmission spectroscopy

Annabella Meech, Alastair B. Claringbold, Eva-Maria Ahrer +19

The formation and migration history of a planet is expected to be imprinted in its atmosphere, in particular its carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio and metallicity. The BOWIE-ALIGN progr…

BOWIE-ALIGN: JWST reveals hints of planetesimal accretion and complex sulphur chemistry in the atmosphere of the misaligned hot Jupiter WASP-15b

James Kirk, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Alastair B. Claringbold +23

We present a transmission spectrum of the misaligned hot Jupiter WASP-15b from 2.8-5.2 microns observed with JWST's NIRSpec/G395H grating. Our high signal to noise data, which has…

BOWIE-ALIGN: How formation and migration histories of giant planets impact atmospheric compositions

Anna B. T. Penzlin, Richard A. Booth, James Kirk +15

Hot Jupiters present a unique opportunity for measuring how planet formation history shapes present-day atmospheric composition. However, due to the myriad pathways influencing com…

BOWIE-ALIGN: A JWST comparative survey of aligned vs misaligned hot Jupiters to test the dependence of atmospheric composition on migration history

James Kirk, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Anna B. T. Penzlin +19

A primary objective of exoplanet atmosphere characterisation is to learn about planet formation and evolution, however, this is challenged by degeneracies. To determine whether dif…

The TESS-Keck Survey XXI: 13 New Planets and Homogeneous Properties for 21 Subgiant Systems

Ashley Chontos, Daniel Huber, Samuel K. Grunblatt +67

We present a dedicated transit and radial velocity survey of planets orbiting subgiant stars observed by the TESS Mission. Using nights on Keck/HIRES, we confirm and cha…

Migration and Evolution of giant ExoPlanets (MEEP) I: Nine Newly Confirmed Hot Jupiters from the TESS Mission

Jack Schulte, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Allyson Bieryla +72

Hot Jupiters were many of the first exoplanets discovered in the 1990s, but in the decades since their discovery, the mysteries surrounding their origins remain. Here, we present n…
