Interplanetary Dust Ablation Seeds Silicate Clouds in Exoplanet Atmospheres

Sven Kiefer, Gregory J. Gosselin, Caroline V. Morley +1

Interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) are present throughout the Solar System, with Earth experiencing a mass flux of roughly 100 tonnes of IDPs per day. These particles ablate in t…

Condensation Clouds in Substellar Atmospheres with Virga

Natasha E. Batalha, Caoimhe M. Rooney, Channon Visscher +14

Here we present an open-source cloud model for substellar atmospheres, called Virga. The Virga-v0 series has already been widely adopted in the literature. It is written in Python…

The James Webb Space Telescope NIRSpec-PRISM Transmission Spectrum of the Super-Puff, Kepler-51d

Jessica E. Libby-Roberts, Aaron Bello-Arufe, Zachory K. Berta-Thompson +14

Kepler-51 is a 500 Myr G dwarf hosting three "super-puffs" and one low-mass non-transiting planet. Kepler-51d, the coolest (T_eq ~ 350 K) transiting planet in this system, is also…

A Fourth Planet in the Kepler-51 System Revealed by Transit Timing Variations

Kento Masuda, Jessica E. Libby-Roberts, John H. Livingston +49

Kepler-51 is a -old Sun-like star hosting three transiting planets with radii - and orbital periods -$130\,\mathrm{day…

A Comprehensive Analysis Spitzer 4.5 m Phase Curve of Hot Jupiters

Lisa Dang, Taylor J. Bell, Ying +19

Although exoplanetary science was not initially projected to be a substantial part of the Spitzer mission, its exoplanet observations set the stage for current and future surveys w…

Microphysical Prescriptions for Parameterized Water Cloud Formation on Ultra-cool Substellar Objects

James Mang, Caroline V. Morley, Tyler D. Robinson +1

Water must condense into ice clouds in the coldest brown dwarfs and exoplanets. When they form, these icy clouds change the emergent spectra, temperature structure, and albedo of t…
