Coupled 1D Chemical Kinetic-Transport and 2D Hydrodynamic Modeling Supports a modest 1-1.5x Supersolar Oxygen Abundance in Jupiter's Atmosphere

Jeehyun Yang, Ali Hyder, Renyu Hu +1

Understanding the deep atmospheric composition of Jupiter provides critical constraints on its formation and the chemical evolution of the solar nebula. In this study, we combine o…

Moderate D/H Ratios in Methane Ice on Eris and Makemake as Evidence of Hydrothermal or Metamorphic Processes in Their Interiors: Geochemical Analysis

Christopher R. Glein, William M. Grundy, Jonathan I. Lunine +7

Dwarf planets Eris and Makemake have surfaces bearing methane ice of unknown origin. D/H ratios were recently determined from James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations of Eris…

Highly depleted alkali metals in Jupiter's deep atmosphere

Ananyo Bhattacharya, Cheng Li, Sushil K. Atreya +12

Water and ammonia vapors are known to be the major sources of spectral absorption at pressure levels observed by the microwave radiometer (MWR) on Juno. However, the brightness tem…

A subsolar oxygen abundance or a radiative region deep in Jupiter revealed by thermochemical modelling

Thibault Cavalié, Jonathan Lunine, Olivier Mousis

Jupiter's deep abundances help to constrain the formation history of the planet and the environment of the protoplanetary nebula. Juno recently measured Jupiter's deep oxygen abund…

Confirmation of sub-solar metallicity for WASP-77Ab from JWST thermal emission spectroscopy

Prune C. August, Jacob L. Bean, Michael Zhang +4

We present the dayside thermal emission spectrum of WASP-77Ab from 2.8 -- 5.2 m as observed with the NIRSpec instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). WASP-77Ab was p…

High atmospheric metal enrichment for a Saturn-mass planet

Jacob L. Bean, Qiao Xue, Prune C. August +9

Atmospheric metal enrichment (i.e., elements heavier than helium, also called "metallicity") is a key diagnostic of the formation of giant planets. The giant planets of the solar s…
