JWST Transmission Spectroscopy of TOI-3235 b: Challenges in Constraining Giant Planet Atmospheres Around M Dwarfs Amid Stellar Contamination
Zoe Ko, Néstor Espinoza, Andrés Jordán +7
Giant planets orbiting low-mass M dwarfs challenge current planet formation theories, which predict that such planets are unlikely to form. Characterizing their atmospheres can pro…
Charge Migration and Residual Non-Linearity in NIRSpec BOTS Observations
Munazza K. Alam, Leonardo Ubeda, Qinyan +3
We investigate the effect of charge migration and residual non-linearity on the JWST/NIRSpec G395H NRS1 and NRS2 detectors using Bright Object Time Series (BOTS) observations of th…
JWST NIRSpec finds no clear signs of an atmosphere on TOI-1685 b
Chloe E. Fisher, Matthew J. Hooton, Amélie Gressier +21
Determining the prevalence of atmospheres on terrestrial planets is a core objective in exoplanetary science. While M dwarf systems offer a promising opportunity, conclusive observ…
Tracing the Winds: A Uniform Interpretation of Helium Escape in Exoplanets from Archival Spectroscopic Observations
Patrick McCreery, Leonardo A. Dos Santos, Néstor Espinoza +2
Over the past decade, observations of evaporating exoplanets have become increasingly common, driven by the discovery of the near-infrared helium-triplet line as a powerful probe o…
