C, N, O, S, and photochemistry in a temperate giant planet orbiting a late M dwarf
Michael Zhang, Qiao Xue, Jeehyun Yang +20
We report the JWST NIRSpec/PRISM transit spectrum of TOI-6894b, an exceptional 420 K sub-Saturn that is one of the rare giant planets transiting a late M dwarf. Remarkably, both th…

The Maximum Density of a Collisionally-Produced Planet is A Function of its Mass and Orbital Period
Madison Brady, Darryl Seligman
There are many different theoretical explanations for the formation of high-density Mercury-like planets, but concrete evidence for any of these formation mechanisms remains elusiv…

Photochemical Production of CS2 in Temperate-to-Warm Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres
Jeehyun Yang, Vighnesh Nagpal, Michael Zhang +16
Sulfur chemistry has emerged as an important probe of exoplanet atmospheres in the JWST era, although observational constraints have thus far been largely limited to SO2 and H2S in…
