Thermal Evolution of Lava Planets
Mahesh Herath, Charles-Édouard Boukaré, Nicolas B. Cowan
Rocky planets are thought to form with a magma ocean that quickly solidifies. The horizontal and vertical extent of this magma ocean depends on the interior thermal evolution of th…
A Comprehensive Analysis Spitzer 4.5 m Phase Curve of Hot Jupiters
Lisa Dang, Taylor J. Bell, Ying +19
Although exoplanetary science was not initially projected to be a substantial part of the Spitzer mission, its exoplanet observations set the stage for current and future surveys w…
Clouds in partial atmospheres of lava planets and where to find them
T. Giang Nguyen, Nicolas B. Cowan, Lisa Dang
With dayside temperatures hot enough to sustain a magma ocean and a silicate atmosphere, lava planets are the best targets to study the atmosphere of a rocky world. In the absence…
Seasonal Changes in the Atmosphere of HD 80606b Observed with JWST's NIRSpec/G395H
James T. Sikora, Jason F. Rowe, Jared Splinter +11
High-eccentricity gas giant planets serve as unique laboratories for studying the thermal and chemical properties of H/He-dominated atmospheres. One of the most extreme cases is HD…
Transmission Spectroscopy of the Habitable Zone Exoplanet LHS 1140 b with JWST/NIRISS
Charles Cadieux, René Doyon, Ryan J. MacDonald +20
LHS 1140 b is the second-closest temperate transiting planet to the Earth with an equilibrium temperature low enough to support surface liquid water. At 1.7300.025 R,…
Water Evolution & Inventories of Super-Earths Orbiting Late M Dwarfs
Keavin Moore, Benjamin David, Albert Yian Zhang +1
Super-Earths orbiting M-dwarf stars may be the most common habitable planets in the Universe. However, their habitability is threatened by intense irradiation from their host stars…
Muted Features in the JWST NIRISS Transmission Spectrum of Hot-Neptune LTT 9779 b
Michael Radica, Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Jake Taylor +13
The hot-Neptune desert is one of the most sparsely populated regions of the exoplanet parameter space, and atmosphere observations of its few residents can provide insights into ho…
