Stacking transmission spectra of different exoplanets

James Kirk, James E. Owen

In many areas of astronomy, spectra of different objects are co-added or stacked to improve signal-to-noise and reveal population-level characteristics. As the number of exoplanets…

JWST COMPASS: A NIRSpec G395H Transmission Spectrum of Radius Valley-Dweller TOI-260 b

Annabella Meech, Peter Gao, Nicole L. Wallack +16

We present a JWST/NIRSpec G395H transmission spectrum of TOI-260 b, a K, planet. The transmission spectrum is derived by com…

JWST COMPASS: NIRSpec/G395H Transmission Observations of the Sub-Neptune HD 15337 c

Nicole L. Wallack, Peter Gao, Michael Greklek-McKeon +17

We present the 3-5 m transmission spectrum of HD 15337 c (TOI-402.02), a sub-Neptune (2.526 R, 6.792 M, T656 K) around a K1V star observe…

JWST COMPASS: Insights into the Systematic Noise Properties of NIRSpec/G395H From a Uniform Reanalysis of Seven Transmission Spectra

Tyler A. Gordon, Natalie M. Batalha, Natasha E. Batalha +9

JWST has already observed near-infrared transmission spectra of over a dozen super-Earths and sub-Neptunes. While some observations have allowed astronomers to characterize sub-Nep…

Resolving the flat-spectrum conundrum: clumpy aerosol distributions in sub-Neptune atmospheres

James E. Owen, James Kirk

Transmission spectroscopy of sub-Neptunes was expected to reveal their compositions and hence origins, yet many show flat near- to mid-infrared spectra. Such spectra can be explain…

Additional JWST/NIRSpec Transits of the Rocky M Dwarf Exoplanet GJ 1132 b Reveal a Featureless Spectrum

Katherine A. Bennett, Ryan J. MacDonald, Sarah Peacock +17

As an archetypal M-dwarf rocky exoplanet, GJ 1132 b has a varied history of atmospheric measurements. At 1.13 , 1.66 , and 580 K, it orbits a bright…
