The radiative effects of photochemical hazes on the atmospheric circulation and phase curves of sub-Neptunes

Maria E. Steinrueck, Vivien Parmentier, Laura Kreidberg +13

Measuring the atmospheric composition of hazy sub-Neptunes like GJ~1214b through transmission spectroscopy is difficult because of the degeneracy between mean molecular weight and…

TOI-421 b: A Hot Sub-Neptune with a Haze-Free, Low Mean Molecular Weight Atmosphere

Brian Davenport, Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Matthew C. Nixon +8

Common features of sub-Neptunes atmospheres observed to date include signatures of aerosols at moderate equilibrium temperatures (~500-800 K), and a prevalence of high mean molecul…

A Non-Detection of Iron in the First High-Resolution Emission Study of the Lava Planet 55 Cnc e

Kaitlin C. Rasmussen, Miles H. Currie, Celeste Hagee +17

Close-in lava planets represent an extreme example of terrestrial worlds, but their high temperatures may allow us to probe a diversity of crustal compositions. The brightest and m…

Where are the Water Worlds?: Self-Consistent Models of Water-Rich Exoplanet Atmospheres

Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Madeline Lessard, Matej Malik +5

It remains to be ascertained whether sub-Neptune exoplanets primarily possess hydrogen-rich atmospheres or whether a population of HO-rich "water worlds" lurks in their midst.…

A reflective, metal-rich atmosphere for GJ 1214b from its JWST phase curve

Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Michael Zhang, Jacob L. Bean +30

There are no planets intermediate in size between Earth and Neptune in our Solar System, yet these objects are found around a substantial fraction of other stars. Population statis…

Diagnosing limb asymmetries in hot and ultra-hot Jupiters with high-resolution transmission spectroscopy

Arjun B. Savel, Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Emily Rauscher +4

Due to their likely tidally synchronized nature, (ultra)hot Jupiter atmospheres should experience strongly spatially heterogeneous instellation. The large irradiation contrast and…
