Aerosols are not Spherical Cows: Using Discrete Dipole Approximation to Model the Properties of Fractal Particles
Matt G. Lodge, Hannah R. Wakeford, Zoe M. Leinhardt
The optical properties of particulate-matter aerosols, within the context of exoplanet and brown dwarf atmospheres, are compared using three different models: Mie theory, Modified…
Quantifying the Transit Light Source Effect: Measurements of Spot Temperature and Coverage on the Photosphere of AU Microscopii with High-Resolution Spectroscopy and Multi-Color Photometry
William Waalkes, Zachory Berta-Thompson, Elisabeth Newton +5
AU Mic is an active 24 Myr pre-main sequence M dwarf in the stellar neighborhood (d9.7 pc) with a rotation period of 4.86 days. The two transiting planets orbiting AU Mic, AU Mi…
JWST-TST High Contrast: Achieving direct spectroscopy of faint substellar companions next to bright stars with the NIRSpec IFU
Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Marshall D. Perrin, Kielan K. W. Hoch +33
The JWST NIRSpec integral field unit (IFU) presents a unique opportunity to observe directly imaged exoplanets from 3-5 um at moderate spectral resolution (R~2,700) and thereby bet…
JWST-TST DREAMS: Quartz Clouds in the Atmosphere of WASP-17b
David Grant, Nikole K. Lewis, Hannah R. Wakeford +39
Clouds are prevalent in many of the exoplanet atmospheres that have been observed to date. For transiting exoplanets, we know if clouds are present because they mute spectral featu…
Detection of Carbon Monoxide in the Atmosphere of WASP-39b Applying Standard Cross-Correlation Techniques to JWST NIRSpec G395H Data
Emma Esparza-Borges, Mercedes López-Morales, Jéa I. Adams Redai +30
Carbon monoxide was recently reported in the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter WASP-39b using the NIRSpec PRISM transit observation of this planet, collected as part of the JWST Transi…
Hydrodynamic atmospheric escape in HD 189733 b: Signatures of carbon and hydrogen measured with the Hubble Space Telescope
Leonardo A. Dos Santos, Antonio García Munõz, David K. Sing +10
One of the most well-studied exoplanets to date, HD 189733 b, stands out as an archetypal hot Jupiter with many observations and theoretical models aimed at characterizing its atmo…
High Tide or Riptide on the Cosmic Shoreline? A Water-Rich Atmosphere or Stellar Contamination for the Warm Super-Earth GJ~486b from JWST Observations
Sarah E. Moran, Kevin B. Stevenson, David K. Sing +21
Planets orbiting M-dwarf stars are prime targets in the search for rocky exoplanet atmospheres. The small size of M dwarfs renders their planets exceptional targets for transmissio…
JWST-TST Proper Motions: I. High-Precision NIRISS Calibration and Large Magellanic Cloud Kinematics
M. Libralato, A. Bellini, R. P. van der Marel +27
We develop and disseminate effective point-spread functions and geometric-distortion solutions for high-precision astrometry and photometry with the JWST NIRISS instrument. We corr…
Detection of carbon monoxide's 4.6 micron fundamental band structure in WASP-39b's atmosphere with JWST NIRSpec G395H
David Grant, Joshua D. Lothringer, Hannah R. Wakeford +28
Carbon monoxide (CO) is predicted to be the dominant carbon-bearing molecule in giant planet atmospheres, and, along with water, is important for discerning the oxygen and therefor…
MPS-ATLAS library of stellar model atmospheres and spectra
N. Kostogryz, A. I Shapiro, V. Witzke +5
Stellar spectra contain a large amount of information about the conditions in stellar atmospheres. However, extracting this information is challenging and demands comprehensive num…
A JWST NIRSpec Phase Curve for WASP-121b: Dayside Emission Strongest Eastward of the Substellar Point and Nightside Conditions Conducive to Cloud Formation
Thomas Mikal-Evans, David K. Sing, Jiayin Dong +10
We present the first exoplanet phase curve measurement made with the JWST NIRSpec instrument, highlighting the exceptional stability of this newly-commissioned observatory for exop…
A broadband thermal emission spectrum of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-18b
Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Björn Benneke, Ryan Challener +73
Close-in giant exoplanets with temperatures greater than 2,000 K (''ultra-hot Jupiters'') have been the subject of extensive efforts to determine their atmospheric properties using…
A JWST transmission spectrum of a nearby Earth-sized exoplanet
J. Lustig-Yaeger, G. Fu, E. M. May +20
The critical first step in the search for life on exoplanets over the next decade is to determine whether rocky planets transiting small M-dwarf stars possess atmospheres and, if s…
