Characterizing Transiting Exoplanet Atmospheres in the 2030s with the Hubble Space Telescope
Joshua D. Lothringer, Hannah R. Wakeford, Robert C. Frazier +7
The Hubble Space Telescope inaugurated the era of exoplanet atmospheric characterization. While the James Webb Space Telescope has largely taken up the mantle of infrared atmospher…
The NUV transit of XO-3 b
Raven Cilley, Lia Corrales, George W. King +8
Near-UV (NUV) measurements of exoplanet transits offer a means to probe atmospheric escape, cloud formation, and planetary magnetic fields. We examine a 2024 XMM-Newton Optical Mon…
The Days Drag On on WASP-121 b: Interpreting its NIRISS Spectroscopic Phase Curve with General Circulation Models
Robert C. Frazier, Emily Rauscher, Jared Splinter +18
Ultra-hot Jupiters present extreme atmospheric phenomena not found in the Solar System. These planets' daysides experience strong temperature inversions, molecular species (includi…
Precise Constraints on the Energy Budget of WASP-121 b from its JWST NIRISS/SOSS Phase Curve
Jared Splinter, Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Robert C. Frazier +20
Ultra-hot Jupiters exhibit day-to-night temperature contrasts upwards of 1000 K due to competing effects of strong winds, short radiative timescales, magnetic drag, and H2 dissocia…
Enriched volatiles and refractories but deficient titanium on the dayside atmosphere of WASP-121b revealed by JWST/NIRISS
Stefan Pelletier, Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Jared Splinter +21
With dayside temperatures elevated enough for all atmospheric constituents to be present in gas form, ultra-hot Jupiters offer a unique opportunity to probe the composition of gian…
Million Points of Light (MPoL): a PyTorch library for radio interferometric imaging and inference
Ian Czekala, Jeff Jennings, Brianna Zawadzki +9
Astronomical radio interferometers achieve exquisite angular resolution by cross-correlating signal from a cosmic source simultaneously observed by distant pairs of radio telescope…
