Detection of ionized calcium in the atmosphere of the ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-9b
Jake D. Turner, Ernst J. W. de Mooij, Ray Jayawardhana +6
With a day-side temperature in excess of 4500K, comparable to a mid-K-type star, KELT-9b is the hottest planet known. Its extreme temperature makes KELT-9b a particularly interesti…
Water Vapor and Clouds on the Habitable-Zone Sub-Neptune Exoplanet K2-18b
Björn Benneke, Ian Wong, Caroline Piaulet +13
Results from the Kepler mission indicate that the occurrence rate of small planets ( ) in the habitable zone of nearby low-mass stars may be as high as 80%. Despite t…
A Sub-Neptune Exoplanet with a Low-Metallicity Methane-Depleted Atmosphere and Mie-Scattering Clouds
Björn Benneke, Heather A. Knutson, Joshua Lothringer +15
With no analogues in the Solar System, the discovery of thousands of exoplanets with masses and radii intermediate between Earth and Neptune was one of the big surprises of exoplan…
The Need for Laboratory Measurements and Ab Initio Studies to Aid Understanding of Exoplanetary Atmospheres
Jonathan J. Fortney, Tyler D. Robinson, Shawn Domagal-Goldman +85
We are now on a clear trajectory for improvements in exoplanet observations that will revolutionize our ability to characterize their atmospheric structure, composition, and circul…
The Influence of Host Star Spectral Type on Ultra-Hot Jupiter Atmospheres
Joshua D. Lothringer, Travis S. Barman
Ultra-hot Jupiters are the most highly irradiated gas giant planets, with equilibrium temperatures from 2000 to over 4000 K. Ultra-hot Jupiters are amenable to characterization due…
Unusual Isotopic Abundances in a Fully-Convective Stellar Binary
I. J. M. Crossfield, J. D. Lothringer, B. Flores +6
Low-mass M dwarfs represent the most common outcome of star formation, but their complex emergent spectra hinder detailed studies of their composition and initial formation. The me…
