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…
JWST NIRCam Reveals the Largest Known M-dwarf Debris Disk Around TWA 10 and New Scattered-Light Observations of the TWA 25 Debris Disk
Katie A. Crotts, Aarynn L. Carter, Beth Biller +26
We present JWST NIRCam observations of two M-dwarf systems located in the TW Hydra association, TWA 10 and TWA 25. Both systems harbor detected debris disks in the F200W and F444W…
Photometric Variability and Rotation of Beta Pictoris b from JWST NIRCam Coronagraphic Imaging
Yifan Zhou, Beth A. Biller, Aarynn L. Carter +30
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 c…
On the Detectability of Volcanic Exo-Ios That May Fuel Auroras on Super-Jupiters
Brooke Kotten, Mary Anne Limbach, Johanna M. Vos +12
The paper evaluates whether JWST transit observations can detect volcanic exomoons around aurorally active super‑Jupiters, demonstrating feasibility for moons with mass ratios simi…
Atmospheric characterization of six ultra-hot Jupiters from -band high-resolution spectroscopy
Luke Finnerty, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Yinzi Xin +27
We present new Keck/KPIC high-resolution spectroscopic detections of three ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) in the band: WASP-189b (), MASCARA-1b (), and…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems. VII. Molecular Mapping Performance with JWST/MIRI MRS: VHS 1256 b as a case study
Mathilde Mâlin, Anthony Boccaletti, Benjamin Charnay +29
VHS 1256 b was the first planetary-mass companion to be observed with the James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument (JWST/MIRI) using the Medium-Resolution Spectrometer…
