JWST MEP - A World Under Spotty Starlight: Detection of CO2 and H2O in the Hot Saturn WASP-52b with JWST NIRSpec G395H

JWST GO 3969 Team, Yanbo Pan, Ryan J. MacDonald +21

Exoplanets orbiting active stars offer distinct challenges for atmospheric characterization with the JWST. Among such worlds, the hot Saturn WASP-52b (Teq 1300 K) orbits an…

Evidence for LP 890-9d via Transit Timing Variations

Kevin B. Stevenson, Guangwei Fu, Kristin S. Sotzen +10

LP 890-9, also known as SPECULOOS-2 and TOI-4306, is a nearby late-M dwarf hosting two confirmed transiting rocky exoplanets. We analyze 20 JWST/NIRSpec PRISM transits of LP 890-9b…

A JWST transiting survey of FGK stellar limb darkening: empirical evidence for quadratic laws and atmospheric model comparisons

David K. Sing, Joshua D. Lothringer, Jeff A. Valenti +11

We present a study of stellar limb-darkening using JWST transit observations of seven exoplanets orbiting FGK host stars, spanning 4200-6800 K. The wide wavelength coverage and hig…

A Clearer View of HAT-P-1 b: JWST NIRSpec G395H Reveals Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Possibly Hydrogen Sulfide

Reza Ashtari, Stephen P. Schmidt, Guangwei Fu +16

As part of JWST's Exoplanet Grand Tour Survey, we use panchromatic transmission spectroscopy to connect HAT-P-1 b's previously studied optical and near-infrared atmosphere to the l…

Asymmetric Aerosol Distribution on the Terminators of the Warm Saturn WASP-69 b Revealed by JWST NIRISS/SOSS

Le-Chris Wang, Sagnick Mukherjee, Stephen P. Schmidt +16

How aerosols form, are transported, and cycle between condensation and evaporation across exoplanet temperature regimes remains poorly understood. Recent models and observations su…

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…

Mitigating Charge Migration in JWST NIRISS Reveals That KELT-7 b is a Metal-enriched Ultra-hot Jupiter Orbiting a Young Metal-rich Star

Stephen P. Schmidt, Erin M. May, Joshua D. Lothringer +19

We present the first panchromatic JWST transmission spectrum of an ultra-hot Jupiter, combining NIRISS and NIRSpec observations to constrain KELT-7\,b's atmospheric properties. We…
