JWST/MIRI Imaging Search for Kinematically Detected Protoplanetary Candidates

G. Cugno, M. Benisty, R. Teague +32

Kinematic perturbations observed with ALMA in CO line emission provide evidence for a population of embedded giant protoplanets shaping the structure of protoplanetary disks. We pr…

A Candidate Innermost Fifth Planet In the HR 8799 System Revealed By JWST NIRISS Aperture Masking Interferometry

Jayke S. Nguyen, Louis Desdoigts, Alexandra Z. Greenbaum +20

We detect a candidate fifth planet in the HR 8799 system, directly imaged with the JWST/NIRISS Aperture Masking Interferometer (AMI). The detected source lies just above a con…

The Hill sphere transits of Beta Pictoris c and the search for another 1981-like event

V. E. C. Bakker, M. A. Kenworthy, R. Stuik +17

Beta Pictoris is a young and nearby planetary system hosting an edge-on debris disk and at least three gas-giant planets. Their circumplanetary environments could host exomoons and…

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…

Photometric Variability and Rotation of Beta Pictoris b from JWST NIRCam Coronagraphic Imaging

Yifan Zhou, Beth A. Biller, Aarynn L. Carter +28

We report the detection of photometric variability in the directly imaged super-Jupiter Pictoris b. Using JWST NIRCam dual-band coronagraphic imaging, we conducted a 16-hour co…

Direct Imaging Discovery of Giant Exoplanet Pictoris d: A Decade-Long Game of Hide-and-Seek

Ben J. Sutlieff, Markus J. Bonse, Valentin Christiaens +94

We report the direct imaging discovery of a third exoplanet in the Pictoris system. We detect Pictoris d ( Pic d) in non-coronagraphic observations obtained with VLT/ERI…

JWST-TST High Contrast: First Direct Spectroscopy of GJ 504 b reveals Clouds and Possible Metal Enrichment

Aneesh Baburaj, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Marshall Perrin +27

Characterizing the coldest directly imaged companions through direct spectroscopy has only recently become possible with the James Webb Space Telescope. We present moderate-resolut…

Direct Images of CO2 Absorption in the Atmosphere of a Super-Jupiter: Enhanced Metallicity Suggestive of Formation in a Disk

William O. Balmer, Laurent Pueyo, Ashley Messier +15

It is unclear how directly imaged substellar companions with masses near the deuterium burning limit form, because these objects are rare and their bulk properties are not diagnost…

AMIGO: a Data-Driven Calibration of the JWST Interferometer

Louis Desdoigts, Benjamin Pope, Max Charles +8

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) hosts a non-redundant Aperture Masking Interferometer (AMI) in its Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) instrument, providi…

JWST-TST High Contrast: Medium-resolution spectroscopy reveals a carbon-rich circumplanetary disk around the young accreting exoplanet Delorme 1 AB b

Mathilde Mâlin, Kimberly Ward-Duong, Sierra L. Grant +21

Young accreting planetary-mass objects are thought to draw material from a circumplanetary disk (CPD) composed of gas and dust. While the gas within the disk is expected to dispers…

YSES 2b is a background star: Differential astrometric M-dwarf measurements in time

Matthew Kenworthy, Tomas Stolker, Jens Kammerer +13

We wish to confirm the nature of YSES 2b, a purportedly faint companion of the young star YSES 2. We used on-sky observations from SPHERE and GRAVITY to measure the astrometric pos…

JWST-TST DREAMS: NIRSpec/PRISM Transmission Spectroscopy of the Habitable Zone Planet TRAPPIST-1 e

Néstor Espinoza, Natalie H. Allen, Ana Glidden +32

TRAPPIST-1 e is one of the very few rocky exoplanets that is both amenable to atmospheric characterization and that resides in the habitable zone of its star -- located at a distan…

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…

Differentiating Formation Models with New Dynamical Masses for the PDS 70 Protoplanets

David Trevascus, Sarah Blunt, Valentin Christiaens +22

Hot- and cold-start planet formation models predict differing luminosities for the young, bright planets that direct imaging surveys are most sensitive to. However, precise mass es…

Searching for low-mass companions at small separations in transition disks with aperture masking interferometry

Tomas Stolker, Jens Kammerer, Myriam Benisty +9

Transition disks have large central cavities that have been spatially resolved during recent years. Cavities and other substructures in circumstellar disks are often interpreted as…
