Thermal Evolution of Lava Planets Across System Ages: Predictions for Hell of a Survey

No statistically significant evidence for a correlation between stellar and planetary composition
Daisy A. Turner, Annelies Mortier, James G. Rogers +4
The chemical compositions of planets and their hosts stars are intrinsically linked, having formed from the same protostellar material. Characterising this relationship provides ke…
Evolutionary pathways toward survival of a thick CO2- or SO2-rich atmosphere on the lava world TOI-561 b
Emma Postolec, Tim Lichtenberg, Johanna K. Teske +10
Rocky planets evolve through the exchange of volatiles between their interiors and atmospheres, an interplay still poorly constrained by observations. Remarkably, highly irradiated…
JWST MIRI reveals a potential atmosphere on the ultra-hot rocky planet TOI-431b
Cole Smith, Brandon Park Coy, Megan Weiner Mansfield +13
An open question in exoplanet science is whether rocky exoplanets extremely close in to their host stars, `lava worlds', can retain significant atmospheres. Thermal emission observ…
A Highly Reflective Atmosphere on the Lava World TOI-561b Revealed by JWST/NIRSpec Phase Curve

Our goal is to investigate the chemistry of the hot Jupiter WASP-43 b in detail using theoretical models, considering the constraints of the James Webb Space Telescope MIRI phase c…
Understanding eccentric temperate giants: an in-depth study of the architecture and stellar obliquity of the TOI-2134 system
Federica Rescigno, Manu Stalport, Ancy Anna John +28
We revisit the TOI-2134 planetary system with three new high-cadence TESS sectors and 98 more spectra. This new analysis confirms the two orbiting planets by simultaneously modelli…
GEMS JWST: HATS-75 b -- A giant planet with a sub-solar metallicity atmosphere orbiting an M-dwarf
Reza Ashtari, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, Jessica Libby-Roberts +12
HATS-75 b is one of the recently discovered Giant Exoplanets orbiting M-dwarf Stars (GEMS) with a transmission spectrum shaped by both its atmosphere and the active stellar surface…
Evidence for an Atmosphere on the Ultra-Short Period super-Earth HD 3167 b
Brandon Park Coy, Qiao Xue, Megan Weiner Mansfield +14
'Lava worlds'-Earth-sized planets hot enough (Teq >~ 1100 K) to melt their dayside silicate surfaces-have emerged as promising candidates for atmospheric detection and characteriza…
GEMS JWST: A sub-Solar metallicity atmosphere for giant planet TOI-5293Ab orbiting a rapidly changing M-dwarf
Shubham Kanodia, Caleb I. Cañas, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger +13
The growing sample of Giant Exoplanets around M-dwarf Stars (GEMS) helps probe the extremes of giant planet formation. Comparing the properties of this sample with their FGK counte…

Sub-Neptunes with substantial atmospheres may possess magma oceans in contact with the overlying gas, with chemical interactions between the atmosphere and magma playing an importa…
A Thick Volatile Atmosphere on the Ultrahot Super-Earth TOI-561 b
Johanna K. Teske, Nicole L. Wallack, Anjali A. A. Piette +10
Ultrashort-period (USP) exoplanets -- with R and periods 1 day -- are expected to be stripped of volatile atmospheres by intense host star irradiation…
A carbon-rich atmosphere on a windy pulsar planet
