The coupled impacts of atmospheric dynamics and cloud microphysics on hot Jupiter atmospheres. I. An application to WASP-43b
Emeline F. Fromont, Thaddeus D. Komacek, Peter Gao +9
Understanding the influence of cloud-circulation feedback on planetary climates is crucial to interpreting solar system and extrasolar planet observations. Hot Jupiter phase curve…
No Helium Detected in LHS 1140 b from Four JWST NIRISS/SOSS Transits
Katherine A. Bennett, Carlos Gascón, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger +13
In the effort to determine which low-mass exoplanets have atmospheres, LHS 1140 b remains one of the most favorable targets. Its large size (5.6 and 1.7 $\rm R_{\o…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems VIII: patchy forsterite and enstatite clouds in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b, retrieval lessons learned and outlook to the future
Niall Whiteford, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +123
JWST defines a new era for the data-driven approach of retrieval modelling, which has become a cornerstone tool for the statistical inference of exoplanetary and brown dwarf proper…
Magnesium Silicate Clouds in the Atmosphere of HD 209458b from a Rule-Based Tree-Structured Data Reduction
Katy L. Chubb, David Grant, Hannah R. Wakeford +14
HD 209458b is the canonical hot Jupiter: the first to have its atmosphere measured and the first to hint at the role of aerosols in exoplanet atmospheres through the muting of Na a…
JWST COMPASS: A NIRSpec G395H Transmission Spectrum of Radius Valley-Dweller TOI-260 b
Annabella Meech, Peter Gao, Nicole L. Wallack +16
We present a JWST/NIRSpec G395H transmission spectrum of TOI-260 b, a K, planet. The transmission spectrum is derived by com…
JWST COMPASS: NIRSpec/G395H Transmission Observations of the Sub-Neptune HD 15337 c
Nicole L. Wallack, Peter Gao, Michael Greklek-McKeon +17
We present the 3-5 m transmission spectrum of HD 15337 c (TOI-402.02), a sub-Neptune (2.526 R, 6.792 M, T656 K) around a K1V star observed…
Fractal Aggregate Aerosols in the Virga Cloud Code II: Exploring the Effects of Key Cloud Parameters in Warm Neptune, Hot Jupiter and Brown Dwarf Atmospheres
Matt G. Lodge, Sarah E. Moran, Hannah R. Wakeford +2
Aerosols and clouds are expected to be ubiquitous in exoplanet and brown dwarf atmospheres, where they can have a significant impact on transmission and emission spectra. The cloud…
Fractal Aggregate Aerosols in the Virga Cloud Code I: Model Description and Application to a Benchmark Cloudy Exoplanet
Sarah E. Moran, Matt G. Lodge, Natasha E. Batalha +5
We introduce new functionality to treat fractal aggregate aerosol particles within the Virga cloud modeling framework. Previously, the open source cloud modeling code Virga (Batalh…
Condensation Clouds in Substellar Atmospheres with Virga
Natasha E. Batalha, Caoimhe M. Rooney, Channon Visscher +14
Here we present an open-source cloud model for substellar atmospheres, called Virga. The Virga-v0 series has already been widely adopted in the literature. It is written in Python…
Silicate clouds and a circumplanetary disk in the YSES-1 exoplanet system
Kielan K. W. Hoch, Melanie Rowland, Simon Petrus +26
Young exoplanets provide a critical link between understanding planet formation and atmospheric evolution. Direct imaging spectroscopy allows us to infer the properties of young, w…
Aggregate Cloud Particle Effects in Exoplanet Atmospheres
Sanaz Vahidinia, Sarah E. Moran, Mark S. Marley +1
Aerosol opacity has emerged as a critical factor controlling transmission and emission spectra. We provide a simple guideline for the effects of aerosol morphology on opacity and r…
Neglected Silicon Dioxide Polymorphs as Clouds in Substellar Atmospheres
Sarah E. Moran, Mark S. Marley, Samuel D. Crossley
Direct mid-infrared signatures of silicate clouds in substellar atmospheres were first detected in Spitzer observations of brown dwarfs, although their existence was previously inf…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems III: Aperture Masking Interferometric Observations of the star HIP 65426 at 3.8 um
Shrishmoy Ray, Steph Sallum, Sasha Hinkley +121
We present aperture masking interferometry (AMI) observations of the star HIP 65426 at as a part of the JWST Direct Imaging Early Release Science (ERS) program obtai…
