Density-Selected Topological Pathways in the Melting of Single-Particle-Thick Stripes

José Rafael Bordin

The melting of stripe-forming systems involves changes in connectivity that are not fully captured by conventional structural and orientational descriptors. We investigate a two-di…

Phase-dependent chemistry of WASP-43 b revealed with a suite of one-, two-, and three-dimensional models

Robin Baeyens, Julianne I. Moses, Jasmina Blecic +17

Our goal is to investigate the chemistry of the hot Jupiter WASP-43 b in detail using theoretical models, considering the constraints of the James Webb Space Telescope MIRI phase c…

Direct imaging characterization of cool gaseous planets

Michiel Min, Jo Barstow, Laura C. Mayorga +19

Cool gas giant exoplanets, particularly those with properties similar to those of Jupiter and Saturn, remain poorly characterized due to current observational limitations. This whi…

WASP-39b: exo-Saturn with patchy cloud composition, moderate metallicity, and underdepleted S/O

Ludmila Carone, David A. Lewis, Dominic Samra +2

WASP-39b is one of the first extrasolar giant gas planets that has been observed within the JWST ERS program. Fundamental properties that may enable the link to exoplanet formation…

Exoplanet climate characterization with transit asymmetries -- A comprehensive population study from the optical to the infrared

Ludmila Carone, Christiane Helling, Sebastian Gernjak +2

Space missions (CHEOPS, JWST, PLATO) facilitate detailed characterization of exoplanets. This work provides a framework to characterize cloud and climate properties of close-in gas…

Limb Asymmetries on WASP-39b: A Multi-GCM Comparison of Chemistry, Clouds, and Hazes

Maria E. Steinrueck, Arjun B. Savel, Duncan A. Christie +27

With JWST, observing separate spectra of the morning and evening limbs of hot Jupiters has finally become a reality. The first such observation was reported for WASP-39b, where the…
