Transport and Thermochemical Kinetics of Alkali Species in Hot Jupiter Atmospheres: Implications for Magnetic Models

D. A. Christie, T. M. Evans-Soma, N. J. Mayne +4

Interactions between the planetary magnetic field of a hot Jupiter and the winds within its atmosphere are moderated by the electron and ion abundances. For a solar metallicity atm…

JWST MEP - A World Under Spotty Starlight: Detection of CO2 and H2O in the Hot Saturn WASP-52b with JWST NIRSpec G395H

JWST GO 3969 Team, Yanbo Pan, Ryan J. MacDonald +21

Exoplanets orbiting active stars offer distinct challenges for atmospheric characterization with the JWST. Among such worlds, the hot Saturn WASP-52b (Teq 1300 K) orbits an…

A Clearer View of HAT-P-1 b: JWST NIRSpec G395H Reveals Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Possibly Hydrogen Sulfide

Reza Ashtari, Stephen P. Schmidt, Guangwei Fu +16

As part of JWST's Exoplanet Grand Tour Survey, we use panchromatic transmission spectroscopy to connect HAT-P-1 b's previously studied optical and near-infrared atmosphere to the l…

Asymmetric Aerosol Distribution on the Terminators of the Warm Saturn WASP-69 b Revealed by JWST NIRISS/SOSS

Le-Chris Wang, Sagnick Mukherjee, Stephen P. Schmidt +16

How aerosols form, are transported, and cycle between condensation and evaporation across exoplanet temperature regimes remains poorly understood. Recent models and observations su…

Flow-Driven Limb-Asymmetry of Haze Distribution Part I: An Analytical Framework for Predicting the Size Distribution of Photochemical Hazes Across the Two Limbs of hot-Jupiters

Mei Ting Mak, Thaddeus D. Komacek, Nathan J. Mayne +1

Photochemical haze, a common aerosol type expected to form in the atmospheres of hot-Jupiters, can become concentrated to different extents between the morning and evening limbs de…

Mitigating Charge Migration in JWST NIRISS Reveals That KELT-7 b is a Metal-enriched Ultra-hot Jupiter Orbiting a Young Metal-rich Star

Stephen P. Schmidt, Erin M. May, Joshua D. Lothringer +19

We present the first panchromatic JWST transmission spectrum of an ultra-hot Jupiter, combining NIRISS and NIRSpec observations to constrain KELT-7\,b's atmospheric properties. We…
