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…

Modeling the Impact of Starspot Inhomogeneity on Spectroscopic Retrievals of Directly-Imaged Planets

Alex R. Howe, Natasha Latouf, Christopher C. Stark +2

The paper models how starspot inhomogeneity on host stars can affect spectroscopic retrievals of directly imaged Earth‑like exoplanets, finding that Sun‑like activity has little im…

Architectures of Planetary Systems III: Excitation of Eccentricities and Inclinations

Alex R. Howe, Juliette C. Becker, Fred C. Adams

The current census of planetary systems displays a wide range of architectures. Extending earlier work, this paper investigates the correlation between our classification framework…

Do Super-Puffs Defy Core Accretion? Population-Wide Interior Structure Constraints

Nicholas T. Marston, Juliette Becker, Alex R. Howe

Sub-Saturn mass planets with extremely low bulk densities , or ``super-puffs'', are one of the most interesting and least understood populations of…

yieldplotlib: A unified library for exoplanet yield code visualizations

Corey Spohn, Sarah Steiger, Alex R. Howe

NASA's next flagship observatory, the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), aims to detect and charaterize ~25 habitable zone planets. The total number of habitable zone planets dete…
