Wet Removal and Cloud Enhancement: The Microphysics of Cloud-Haze Interactions on Sub-Neptunes

Vighnesh Nagpal, Maria Steinrueck, Diana Powell +3

Aerosols are a near-ubiquitous feature of sub-Neptune atmospheres, yet their microphysical nature remains poorly understood. Both condensate clouds and photochemical hazes have bee…

Three dimensional temporal evolution of photochemical haze in exoplanet atmospheres I. Description and test application to HD 189733b

Elspeth K. H. Lee, Maria E. Steinrueck, Kazumasa Ohno +2

The formation and global spatial distribution of photochemically produced haze particles remain a key process in exoplanet atmospheres for understanding their observed properties.…

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…

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…

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

Wolf Cukier, Dominic Samra, Vighnesh Nagpal +3

Speculative fiction has long served an inspiration for genuine scientific inquiry. One notable work that has almost acted in this manner is the the seminal comedic speculative fict…

Limb Asymmetries on WASP-39b: A Multi-GCM Comparison of Chemistry, Clouds, and Hazes

Maria E. Steinrueck, Arjun B. Savel, Duncan A. Christie +27

With JWST, observing separate spectra of the morning and evening limbs of hot Jupiters has finally become a reality. The first such observation was reported for WASP-39b, where the…
