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…
The THOR+HELIOS general circulation model: multi-wavelength radiative transfer with accurate scattering by clouds/hazes
Russell Deitrick, Kevin Heng, Urs Schroffenegger +5
General circulation models (GCMs) provide context for interpreting multi-wavelength, multi-phase data of the atmospheres of tidally locked exoplanets. In the current study, the non…
