Inhomogeneous Cloud Coverage and Altitude-Dependent Heat Transport on the Hot-Jupiter NGTS-10 Ab from its Optical-to-Infrared Phase Curve
Louis-Philippe Coulombe, Vivien Parmentier, Kevin B. Stevenson +15
Hot-Jupiters, gas giant planets with equilibrium temperatures above 1,000 K, host large temperature gradients between their permanent day- and nightsides, resulting in circulation…
Horizontal transport as a source of disequilibrium chemistry on the nightside of a hot exoplanet
Vivien Parmentier, Kevin B. Stevenson, Luis Welbanks +15
Hot Jupiters have temperature gradients of several hundreds of degrees between their permanent day and nightsides. In equilibrium, the primary carbon reservoir is expected to trans…
Heat Reveals What Clouds Conceal: Global Carbon & Longitudinally Asymmetric Chemistry on LTT 9779 b
Reza Ashtari, Sean Collins, Jared Splinter +17
LTT-9779 b is an ultra-hot Neptune (Rp ~ 4.7 Re, Mp ~ 29 Me) orbiting its Sun-like host star in just 19 hours, placing it deep within the "hot Neptune desert," where Neptunian plan…
The SPACE Program. I. The featureless spectrum of HD 86226 c challenges sub-Neptune atmosphere trends
K. Angelique Kahle, Jasmina Blecic, Reza Ashtari +26
Sub-Neptune exoplanets are the most abundant type of planet known today. As they do not have a Solar System counterpart, many open questions exist about their composition and forma…
A first look at rocky exoplanets with JWST
Laura Kreidberg, Kevin B. Stevenson
Rocky exoplanet characterization has been a top priority for early James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) science operations. Several milestones have been achieved, including the most p…
The radiative effects of photochemical hazes on the atmospheric circulation and phase curves of sub-Neptunes
Maria E. Steinrueck, Vivien Parmentier, Laura Kreidberg +13
Measuring the atmospheric composition of hazy sub-Neptunes like GJ~1214b through transmission spectroscopy is difficult because of the degeneracy between mean molecular weight and…
An Analysis of Spitzer Phase Curves for WASP-121b and WASP-77Ab
Brian Davenport, Thomas Kennedy, E. M. May +6
We present analyses of Spitzer InfraRed Array Camera (IRAC) 3.6 m and 4.5 m phase curve observations of hot Jupiters WASP-77Ab and WASP-121b. For WASP-121b, we find amplitude…
Spectroscopically resolved partial phase curve of the rapid heating and cooling of the highly-eccentric Hot Jupiter HAT-P-2b with WFC3
Bob Jacobs, Jean-Michel Désert, Nikole Lewis +10
The extreme environments of transiting close-in exoplanets in highly-eccentric orbits are ideal for testing exo-climate physics. Spectroscopically resolved phase curves not only al…
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…
A Benchmark JWST Near-Infrared Spectrum for the Exoplanet WASP-39b
A. L. Carter, E. M. May, N. Espinoza +77
Observing exoplanets through transmission spectroscopy supplies detailed information on their atmospheric composition, physics, and chemistry. Prior to JWST, these observations wer…
The Pictoris b Hill sphere transit campaign. Paper II: Searching for the signatures of the Pictoris exoplanets through time delay analysis of the Scuti pulsations
Sebastian Zieba, Konstanze Zwintz, Matthew Kenworthy +34
The Pictoris system is the closest known stellar system with directly detected gas giant planets, an edge-on circumstellar disc, and evidence of falling sublimating bodies and…
Debris Disks can Contaminate Mid-Infrared Exoplanet Spectra: Evidence for a Circumstellar Debris Disk around Exoplanet Host WASP-39
Laura Flagg, Alycia J. Weinberger, Taylor J. Bell +21
The signal from a transiting planet can be diluted by astrophysical contamination. In the case of circumstellar debris disks, this contamination could start in the mid-infrared and…
Nightside clouds and disequilibrium chemistry on the hot Jupiter WASP-43b
Taylor J. Bell, Nicolas Crouzet, Patricio E. Cubillos +80
Hot Jupiters are among the best-studied exoplanets, but it is still poorly understood how their chemical composition and cloud properties vary with longitude. Theoretical models pr…
The Pictoris b Hill sphere transit campaign. Paper I: Photometric limits to dust and rings
M. A. Kenworthy, S. N. Mellon, J. I. Bailey +33
Photometric monitoring of Beta Pictoris in 1981 showed anomalous fluctuations of up to 4% over several days, consistent with foreground material transiting the stellar disk. The su…
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…
The Detectability and Constraints of Biosignature Gases in the Near & Mid-Infrared from Transit Transmission Spectroscopy
Luke Tremblay, Michael R Line, Kevin B Stevenson +4
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is expected to revolutionize our understanding of Jovian worlds over the coming decade. However, as we push towards characterizing cooler, sma…
