The effect of the atmospheric C/O ratio on interiors of hot Jupiters

Esther van Dijk, Yamila Miguel, Paul Mollière

The atmosphere is the outer boundary of a gas giant exoplanet's interior. Therefore, compositional changes in the atmosphere can affect interior inferences. Typically, only metalli…

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems VIII: patchy forsterite and enstatite clouds in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b, retrieval lessons learned and outlook to the future

Niall Whiteford, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +123

JWST defines a new era for the data-driven approach of retrieval modelling, which has become a cornerstone tool for the statistical inference of exoplanetary and brown dwarf proper…

The ESO SupJup Survey XI. Atmospheric properties of six isolated M- and L-type dwarfs with CRIRES+

C. R. Malcolm, N. Grasser, I. A. G. Snellen +9

The distinct formation pathways of brown dwarfs and giant exoplanets may be encoded in their atmospheric composition. We present atmospheric retrievals for six isolated brown dwarf…

The panchromatic JWST dayside spectrum of WASP-121 b reveals a refractory-rich formation

K. Angelique Kahle, Paul Mollière, Laura Kreidberg +16

One path to understand how planets form is to link their present-day atmospheric composition to predictions from planet formation models. For the hottest planets, the abundances of…

CO and potential variability in Pictoris b with GRAVITY+

Antonia von Stauffenberg, Jonas Sauter, Paul Mollière +18

The CO/CO ratio was introduced as an indicator for where in the disk a planet has formed. Previously a lower value compared to the host star's was suggested to show t…

Oxygen and nitrogen isotopologues on cold COCONUTS-2b observed with MIRI/MRS

H. Kühnle, E. C. Matthews, P. Mollière +12

Linking the composition of gas giant planets to their formation paths has long been a goal in exoplanet science. Especially, cold gas giants with temperatures below 500K have…
