Keys of a Mission to Uranus or Neptune, the Closest Ice Giants

Tristan Guillot, Jonathan Fortney, Emily Rauscher +26

Uranus and Neptune are the archetypes of "ice giants", a class of planets that may be among the most common in the Galaxy. They hold the keys to understand the atmospheric dynamics…

Evidence of a Clear Atmosphere for WASP-62b: the Only Known Transiting Gas Giant in the JWST Continuous Viewing Zone

Munazza K. Alam, Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Ryan J. MacDonald +12

Exoplanets with cloud-free, haze-free atmospheres at the pressures probed by transmission spectroscopy represent a valuable opportunity for detailed atmospheric characterization an…

Into the UV: The Atmosphere of the Hot Jupiter HAT-P-41b Revealed

Nikole K. Lewis, Hannah R. Wakeford, Ryan J. MacDonald +19

For solar-system objects, ultraviolet spectroscopy has been critical in identifying sources for stratospheric heating and measuring the abundances of a variety of hydrocarbon and s…

A Featureless Infrared Transmission Spectrum for the Super-Puff Planet Kepler-79d

Yayaati Chachan, Daniel Jontof-Hutter, Heather A. Knutson +12

Extremely low density planets ('super-puffs') are a small but intriguing subset of the transiting planet population. With masses in the super-Earth range ( M) and…

ExoTiC-ISM: A Python package for marginalised exoplanet transit parameters across a grid of systematic instrument models

Iva Laginja, Hannah R. Wakeford

To address the the problem of calibration of instrument systematics in transit light curves, we present the Python package ExoTiC-ISM. Transit spectroscopy can reveal many differen…

The Exoplanet Perspective on Future Ice Giant Exploration

H. R. Wakeford, P. A. Dalba

Exoplanets number in their thousands, and the number is ever increasing with the advent of new surveys and improved instrumentation. One of the most surprising things we have learn…

Aerosol Composition of Hot Giant Exoplanets Dominated by Silicates and Hydrocarbon Hazes

Peter Gao, Daniel P. Thorngren, Elspeth K. H. Lee +6

Aerosols are common in the atmospheres of exoplanets across a wide swath of temperatures, masses, and ages. These aerosols strongly impact observations of transmitted, reflected, a…

The HST PanCET Program: An Optical to Infrared Transmission Spectrum of HAT-P-32Ab

Munazza K. Alam, Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Nikolay Nikolov +14

We present a 0.3-5 micron transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-32Ab observed with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) and Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) instrumen…
