Early Release Science of the exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRISS
Adina D. Feinstein, Michael Radica, Luis Welbanks +86
Transmission spectroscopy provides insight into the atmospheric properties and consequently the formation history, physics, and chemistry of transiting exoplanets. However, obtaini…
Early Release Science of the exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRCam
Eva-Maria Ahrer, Kevin B. Stevenson, Megan Mansfield +96
Measuring the metallicity and carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio in exoplanet atmospheres is a fundamental step towards constraining the dominant chemical processes at work and, if in eq…
Early Release Science of the exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRSpec PRISM
Z. Rustamkulov, D. K. Sing, S. Mukherjee +91
Transmission spectroscopy of exoplanets has revealed signatures of water vapor, aerosols, and alkali metals in a few dozen exoplanet atmospheres. However, these previous inferences…
Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE): VIII. Where is the phosphine? Observing exoplanetary PH3 with a space based MIR nulling interferometer
D. Angerhausen, M. Ottiger, F. Dannert +9
Phosphine could be a key molecule in the understanding of exotic chemistry happening in (exo)planetary atmospheres. While it has been detected in the Solar System's giant planets,…
LavAtmos: An open source chemical equilibrium vaporisation code for lava worlds
Christiaan P. A. Van Buchem, Yamila Miguel, Mantas Zilinskas +1
To date, over 500 short-period rocky planets with equilibrium temperatures above 1500 K have been discovered. Such planets are expected to support magma oceans, providing a direct…
X-ray Emission from the Exoplanet Hosting LTT 1445 Triple Star System
Alexander Brown, Cynthia S. Froning, Allison Youngblood +5
JWST will be able to observe the atmospheres of rocky planets transiting nearby M dwarfs. The M dwarf triple star system LTT 1445, at a distance of 6.86 pc, hosts some of the neare…
Identification of carbon dioxide in an exoplanet atmosphere
The JWST Transiting Exoplanet Community Early Release Science Team, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Lili Alderson +129
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a key chemical species that is found in a wide range of planetary atmospheres. In the context of exoplanets, CO2 is an indicator of the metal enrichment (i.…
H2S and SO2 detectability in Hot Jupiters: Sulfur species as indicator of metallicity and C/O ratio
J. Polman, L. B. F. M. Waters, M. Min +2
The high cosmic abundance and the intermediate volatility and chemical properties of sulfur allow the use of sulfur-bearing species as a tracer of the chemical processes in the atm…
Jupiter's Temperature Structure: A Reassessment of the Voyager Radio Occultation Measurements
Pranika Gupta, Sushil K. Atreya, Paul G. Steffes +12
The thermal structure of planetary atmospheres is an essential input for predicting and retrieving the distribution of gases and aerosols, as well as the bulk chemical abundances.…
The impact of time-dependent stellar activity on exoplanet atmospheres
Amy J. Louca, Yamila Miguel, Shang-Min Tsai +3
M-dwarfs are thought to be hostile environments for exoplanets. Stellar events are very common on such stars. These events might cause the atmospheres of exoplanets to change signi…
Jupiter's inhomogeneous envelope
Y. Miguel, M. Bazot, T. Guillot +13
While Jupiter's massive gas envelope consists mainly of hydrogen and helium, the key to understanding Jupiter's formation and evolution lies in the distribution of the remaining (h…
K2 and Spitzer phase curves of the rocky ultra-short-period planet K2-141 b hint at a tenuous rock vapor atmosphere
S. Zieba, M. Zilinskas, L. Kreidberg +11
K2-141 b is a transiting, small (1.5 Re) ultra-short-period (USP) planet discovered by Kepler orbiting a K-dwarf host star every 6.7 hours. The planet's high surface temperature ma…
Revelations on Jupiter's Formation, Evolution and Interior: Challenges from Juno Results
Ravit Helled, David J. Stevenson, Jonathan I. Lunine +7
The Juno mission has revolutionized and challenged our understanding of Jupiter. As Juno transitioned to its extended mission, we review the major findings of Jupiter's internal st…
Observability of Evaporating Lava Worlds
Mantas Zilinskas, Christiaan van Buchem, Yamila Miguel +4
Lava worlds belong to a class of short orbital period planets reaching dayside temperatures high enough to melt their silicate crust. Theory predicts that the resulting lava oceans…
