Leveraging Impact Parameter to Mitigate the Transit Light Source Effect: Early Insights from TRAPPIST-1

Ana Glidden, Alexander I. Shapiro, Sara Seager +19

Stellar activity complicates exoplanet transmission spectra, particularly for smaller planets around M dwarfs with JWST. The transit light source (TLS) effect, the imprinting of sp…

Evidence for LP 890-9d via Transit Timing Variations

Kevin B. Stevenson, Guangwei Fu, Kristin S. Sotzen +10

LP 890-9, also known as SPECULOOS-2 and TOI-4306, is a nearby late-M dwarf hosting two confirmed transiting rocky exoplanets. We analyze 20 JWST/NIRSpec PRISM transits of LP 890-9b…

A JWST transiting survey of FGK stellar limb darkening: empirical evidence for quadratic laws and atmospheric model comparisons

David K. Sing, Joshua D. Lothringer, Jeff A. Valenti +11

We present a study of stellar limb-darkening using JWST transit observations of seven exoplanets orbiting FGK host stars, spanning 4200-6800 K. The wide wavelength coverage and hig…

Conspicuous Gas, Cryptic Dust: Spectroscopy and Chromaticity of Complex Periodic Variables

Luke G. Bouma, Facundo Perez Paolino, Lynne A. Hillenbrand +17

Complex periodic variables (CPVs) are young low-mass stars whose light curves show periodic dips indicative of transiting corotating material. The origin and composition of this ma…

No Helium Detected in LHS 1140 b from Four JWST NIRISS/SOSS Transits

Katherine A. Bennett, Carlos Gascón, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger +13

In the effort to determine which low-mass exoplanets have atmospheres, LHS 1140 b remains one of the most favorable targets. Its large size (5.6 and 1.7 $\rm R_{\o…

Mapping Stellar Heterogeneities with the Nautilus Space Observatory

Adina D. Feinstein, Jeff Valenti, Julien de Wit +9

Stellar photospheric heterogeneities, such as starspots and faculae, are a fundamental limitation for exoplanet transmission spectroscopy. Inhomogeneous surfaces can imprint wavele…
