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…

ThousandWorlds: A benchmark for climate emulation of potentially habitable exoplanets

Edward T. Stevenson, Mei Ting Mak, Eric Wolf +4

The search for life beyond Earth will depend on detecting faint signatures in the atmospheres of potentially habitable exoplanets. Interpreting those signatures requires understand…

Benchmarking Two Chemical Networks used in General Circulation Models of Hot Jupiters

D. A. Christie, M. Zamyatina, E. Hébrard +7

Chemical kinetics is becoming an increasingly vital component of hot Jupiter general circulation models (GCMs). Here we simulate the hot Jupiter WASP-96b using two chemical network…

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 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…

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…

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…

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…
