A semi-analytical surrogate model for giant planet evolution: bypassing ordinary differential equation solvers with localised thermodynamics, softplus asymptotes, and B-spline photometry
Christian Wilkinson, Jonas Wehrung-Montpezat, Benjamin Charnay +7
Context. Evolutionary models translate the observable luminosity, temperature, and colours of giant planets and brown dwarfs into mass and age. Generating their cooling tracks norm…
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…
Resolving core-envelope degeneracies in giant planets and sub-Neptunes: constraining the equivalence in the presence of dilute gradients
Christian Wilkinson, Benjamin Charnay, Stéphane Mazevet +3
The widespread recognition of dilute, "fuzzy" cores in giant planets and massive volatile mantles in sub-Neptunes has made interior modelling a highly degenerate, multi-dimensional…
Latitudinal chemical and cloud variations in the atmosphere of a brown dwarf
Benjamin Charnay, Sam de Regt, Matthieu Ravet +8
Brown dwarfs are massive analogues of extrasolar giant planets. Compared to exoplanets whose observations are generally limited by the presence of their bright host star, brown dwa…
Possible favored Great Oxidation Event scenario on exoplanets around M-Stars with the example of TRAPPIST-1e
Adam Y. Jaziri, Nathalie Carrasco, Benjamin Charnay
The Great Oxidation Event (GOE), which marked the transition from an anoxic to an oxygenated atmosphere, occurred 2.4 billion years ago on Earth, several hundreds of millions of ye…
