A Spatial Map of the Atmospheric Limb of a Hot Jupiter

Lili Alderson, Hannah R. Wakeford, David Grant +18

Planets are inherently three-dimensional objects shaped by their thermal structure and dynamics. Observations of transiting exoplanets have begun to uncover this three-dimensional…

Measurement-Only Dynamical Phase Transitions in Spin-1 Chains

Kemal Aziz, Haining Pan, J. H. Pixley

We study measurement-only dynamics in an interacting spin-1 chain, using forced, normalized local projections rather than Born-rule-sampled measurement outcomes. Starting from the…

Eclipse Timing of the Eccentric Planet HD 80606b with JWST: Constraints on a Second Planet and other Dynamical Effects

Charles Beichman, Billy Quarles, B. J. Fulton +6

A variety of effects can perturb the orbital properties of single planets in close orbits around their host stars. HD80606 b is a highly eccentric (=0.93) exoplanet orbiting its…

Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324

The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is a future NASA flagship mission concept identified by the Astro2020 Decadal Survey as the highest priority for large space missions. HWO sh…

The Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS) for PRIMA: Science Drivers

Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Alberto Bolatto, J D Smith +25

We present the science drivers for the Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS), one of two science instrument on the PRobe Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA). FIR…

Characterizing the Dynamics and Chemistry of Transiting Exoplanets with the Habitable World Observatory

Hannah R. Wakeford, Laura C. Mayorga, Joanna K. Barstow +7

The primary scientific objective of this Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) Science Case Development Document (SCDD) is to measure planetary rotation rates of transiting exoplanets…

The JWST weather report from the nearest brown dwarfs II: Consistent variability mechanisms over 7 months revealed by 1-14 m NIRSpec + MIRI monitoring of WISE 1049AB

Xueqing Chen, Beth A. Biller, Xianyu Tan +22

We present a new epoch of JWST spectroscopic variability monitoring of the benchmark binary brown dwarf WISE 1049AB, the closest, brightest brown dwarfs known. Our 8-hour MIRI low…

Eclipse Mapping with MIRI: 2D Map of HD 189733b from JWST MIRI LRS Observations

Maura Lally, Ryan Challener, Nikole Lewis +13

Observations and models of transiting hot Jupiter exoplanets indicate that atmospheric circulation features may cause large spatial flux contrasts across their daysides. Previous s…

The JWST Weather Report from the Nearest Brown Dwarfs I: multi-period JWST NIRSpec + MIRI monitoring of the benchmark binary brown dwarf WISE 1049AB

Beth A. Biller, Johanna M. Vos, Yifan Zhou +22

We report results from 8 hours of JWST/MIRI LRS spectroscopic monitoring directly followed by 7 hours of JWST/NIRSpec prism spectroscopic monitoring of the benchmark binary brown d…
