ESCAPE: a small explorer mission to study the stellar drivers of exoplanet evolution
Allison Youngblood, Kevin France, Brian Fleming +37
The long-term stability of exoplanetary atmospheres depends critically on the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) photon and high-energy particle fluxes from the host star, which are poorly…
KRONOS I: The m JWST Transmission Spectrum of the 23 Myr V1298 Tau c
Matthew M. Murphy, Matthew C. Nixon, Adina D. Feinstein +16
While recent JWST observations of mature super-Earths and sub-Neptunes have frequently revealed featureless transmission spectra, their inflated progenitors offer a unique window i…
Transit timing and starspot-induced transit depth variations in the 17 Myr old HIP 67522 system
H. Chakraborty, M. Lendl, A. Nigioni +27
HIP 67522 is a one of the youngest multi-planetary systems discovered to date. The 17 Myr-old, Sun-like star is part of the Scorpius-Centarus OB association and is known to host tw…
An Outer Giant Planet or Brown Dwarf in the 51 Pegasi System?
Marvin Morgan, Brendan P. Bowler, Kyle Franson +15
51 Pegasi harbors the first confirmed extrasolar planet orbiting a Sun-like star. Decades of continued radial velocity (RV) observations have since uncovered signatures of an addit…
Super-Solar Metallicity and Tentative Evidence for Photochemistry on WASP-96b from JWST and Ground-Based VLT Transmission Spectroscopy
Michael Radica, Jake Taylor, Yoav Rotman +13
With its expanded wavelength coverage and increased precision compared to previous space-based observatories, JWST provides the opportunity to revisit benchmark planets and view th…
Challenges in the detection of gases in exoplanet atmospheres
Luis Welbanks, Matthew C. Nixon, Peter McGill +12
Claims of detections of gases in exoplanet atmospheres often rely on comparisons between models including and excluding specific chemical species. However, the space of molecular c…
