JWST TRAPPIST-1 e/b Program: Motivation and first observations
Natalie H. Allen, Néstor Espinoza, V. A. Boehm +24
One of the forefront goals in the field of exoplanets is the detection of an atmosphere on a temperate terrestrial exoplanet, and among the best suited systems to do so is TRAPPIST…
JWST-TST DREAMS: The Nightside Emission and Chemistry of WASP-17b
Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, Kristin S. Sotzen, Kevin B. Stevenson +24
Theoretical studies have suggested using planetary infrared excess (PIE) to detect and characterize the thermal emission of transiting and non-transiting exoplanets, however the PI…
JWST-TST DREAMS: Sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere of the Neptune-mass planet HAT-P-26 b from NIRSpec G395H transmission spectroscopy
Amélie Gressier, Natasha E. Batalha, Nicholas Wogan +24
We present the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) transmission spectrum of the exoplanet HAT-P-26 b (18.6 Earth masses, 6.33 Earth radii), based on a single transit observed with th…
JWST-TST DREAMS: NIRSpec/PRISM Transmission Spectroscopy of the Habitable Zone Planet TRAPPIST-1 e
Néstor Espinoza, Natalie H. Allen, Ana Glidden +32
TRAPPIST-1 e is one of the very few rocky exoplanets that is both amenable to atmospheric characterization and that resides in the habitable zone of its star -- located at a distan…
JWST-TST DREAMS: Secondary Atmosphere Constraints for the Habitable Zone Planet TRAPPIST-1 e
Ana Glidden, Sukrit Ranjan, Sara Seager +25
The TRAPPIST-1 system offers one of the best opportunities to characterize temperate terrestrial planets beyond our own solar system. Within the TRAPPIST-1 system, planet e stands…
Warm, water-depleted rocky exoplanets with surface ionic liquids: A proposed class for planetary habitability
Rachana Agrawal, Sara Seager, Iaroslav Iakubivskyi +6
The discovery of thousands of exoplanets and the emergence of telescopes capable of exoplanet atmospheric characterization have intensified the search for habitable worlds. Due to…
