The Limits of the Primitive Equations of Dynamics for Warm, Slowly Rotating Small Neptunes and Super Earths

N. J. Mayne, B. Drummond, F. Debras +5

We present significant differences in the simulated atmospheric flow for warm, tidally-locked small Neptunes and super Earths (based on a nominal GJ 1214b) when solving the simplif…

Fully scalable forward model grid of exoplanet transmission spectra

Jayesh M. Goyal, Hannah R. Wakeford, Nathan J. Mayne +3

Simulated exoplanet transmission spectra are critical for planning and interpretation of observations and to explore the sensitivity of spectral features to atmospheric thermochemi…

An optical transmission spectrum for the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121b measured with the Hubble Space Telescope

Thomas M. Evans, David K. Sing, Jayesh Goyal +24

We present an atmospheric transmission spectrum for the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121b, measured using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) onboard the Hubble Space Telesco…

The 3D thermal, dynamical and chemical structure of the atmosphere of HD 189733b: implications of wind-driven chemistry for the emission phase curve

Benjamin Drummond, Nathan J. Mayne, James Manners +5

In this paper we present three-dimensional atmospheric simulations of the hot Jupiter HD~189733b under two different scenarios: local chemical equilibrium and including advection o…

An absolute sodium abundance for a cloud-free 'hot Saturn' exoplanet

Nikolay Nikolov, David K. Sing, Jonathan J. Fortney +20

Broad absorption signatures from alkali metals, such as the sodium (Na I) and potassium (K I) resonance doublets, have long been predicted in the optical atmospheric spectra of clo…

The Transiting Exoplanet Community Early Release Science Program for JWST

Jacob L. Bean, Kevin B. Stevenson, Natalie M. Batalha +99

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) presents the opportunity to transform our understanding of planets and the origins of life by revealing the atmospheric compositions, structur…
