Stellar Ages of M Dwarf Hosts of Temperate Sub-Neptunes

Lalitha Sairam, Nikku Madhusudhan

Measuring M dwarf ages is a central challenge in stellar astrophysics. These stars evolve so slowly that isochrone fitting gives little constraint, requiring alternative methods ba…

Sea Ice as an Origin of Life Location for Hycean and Ocean Worlds

Edouard F. L. Barrier, Nikku Madhusudhan, Frances E. Rigby

Water worlds with potential deep oceans are at the forefront of currently observable exoplanetary habitability. The standard requirements for habitability are the presence of an en…

A Homogeneous Survey of JWST MIRI Transmission Spectra of 10 Exoplanets

Martin Binet, Nikku Madhusudhan, Måns Holmberg +1

The launch of JWST has enabled unprecedented atmospheric characterization of exoplanets. In particular, the JWST-MIRI instrument in the mid-infrared enables probing of molecular sp…

A search for narrowband technosignatures from LTT 3780 with the Allen Telescope Array and the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array

Chenoa D. Tremblay, Sofia Z. Sheikh, Vishal Gajjar +9

The LTT3780 system hosts two known exoplanets-LTT3780b, a rocky super-Earth, and LTT3780c, a temperate sub-Neptune-orbiting a nearby M dwarf on opposite sides of the radius valley.…

Transmission Spectrum of the Benchmark Temperate Exo-Neptune TOI-1231 b

Subhajit Sarkar, Nikku Madhusudhan, Lorenzo Pica-Ciamarra +4

The JWST is revolutionizing our understanding of the temperate sub-Neptune population through atmospheric spectroscopy. The nature of these planets remains debated, as their bulk p…

The Mid-Infrared Transmission Spectrum of the Temperate Sub-Neptune TOI-270 d

Måns Holmberg, Nikku Madhusudhan, Martin Binet +3

Observations of temperate sub-Neptunes with JWST have ushered in a new era for atmospheric characterization of small exoplanets. In particular, the MIRI instrument provides a uniqu…
