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…
Laboratory demonstration of low order wavefront control using light reflected off the vortex coronagraph
Clarissa R. Do Ã, Kane Sjoberg, Luke Lamitina +4
The paper reports the first laboratory demonstration of a low‑order wavefront sensing and tip‑tilt control loop using light reflected from a vector vortex coronagraph, achieving su…
Worlds Next Door. III. Indirect Evidence for Enhanced Atmospheric Metallicity and/or the Presence of Water Clouds in the Nearest Jupiter-analog Eri b
Aniket Sanghi, James Mang, Jorge Llop-Sayson +12
We present the most sensitive direct imaging search for the nearest ( pc) Jupiter-analog exoplanet, Eri b, with JWST/NIRCam coronagraphy between 4-5 m (F444W). We…
Roman coronagraph simulations of exozodi observations in the presence of wavefront errors
Jorge Llop-Sayson, Vanessa P. Bailey, Justin Hom +6
The Coronagraph Instrument on board of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will demonstrate key technologies that will prepare the ground for the Habitable Worlds Observatory. Th…
JWST/MIRI Imaging of the Warm Dust Component of the Epsilon Eridani Debris Disk
Schuyler G. Wolff, András Gáspár, George Rieke +4
We present JWST/MIRI observations of the debris disk surrounding the nearby, solar analog Epsilon Eridani obtained as part of the Archetypal Debris Disk GTO program. Multi-waveleng…
Wavefront Error Recovery and Companion Identification with the James Webb Space Telescope
Matthew De Furio, Marie Ygouf, Alexandra Greenbaum +8
The James Webb Space Telescope is orders of magnitude more sensitive than any other facility across the near to mid-infrared wavelengths. Many approved programs take advantage of i…
