Non-detection of He I in the atmosphere of GJ1214b with Keck/NIRSPEC, at a time of minimal telluric contamination

Jessica J. Spake, Antonija Oklopčić, Lynne. A. Hillenbrand +7

Observations of helium in exoplanet atmospheres may reveal the presence of large gaseous envelopes, and indicate ongoing atmospheric escape. Orell-Miquel et al. (2022) used CARMENE…

Identification of carbon dioxide in an exoplanet atmosphere

The JWST Transiting Exoplanet Community Early Release Science Team, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Lili Alderson +129

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a key chemical species that is found in a wide range of planetary atmospheres. In the context of exoplanets, CO2 is an indicator of the metal enrichment (i.…

Solar-to-supersolar sodium and oxygen absolute abundances for a "hot Saturn" orbiting a metal-rich star

Nikolay K. Nikolov, David K. Sing, Jessica J. Spake +10

We present new analysis of infrared transmission spectroscopy of the cloud-free hot-Saturn WASP-96b performed with the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes (HST and Spitzer). The WA…

UV Absorption by Silicate Cloud Precursors in Ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-178b

Joshua D. Lothringer, David K. Sing, Zafar Rustamkulov +6

Aerosols have been found to be nearly ubiquitous in substellar atmospheres. The precise temperature at which these aerosols begin to form in exoplanets has yet to be observationall…

The Upper Edge of the Neptune Desert Is Stable Against Photoevaporation

Shreyas Vissapragada, Heather A. Knutson, Michael Greklek-McKeon +9

Transit surveys indicate that there is a deficit of Neptune-sized planets on close-in orbits. If this ``Neptune desert' is entirely cleared out by atmospheric mass loss, then plane…

Diurnal variations in the stratosphere of the ultrahot giant exoplanet WASP-121b

Thomas Mikal-Evans, David K. Sing, Joanna K. Barstow +9

The temperature profile of a planetary atmosphere is a key diagnostic of radiative and dynamical processes governing the absorption, redistribution, and emission of energy. Observa…
