The Proxima Centauri Campaign -- First Constraints On Millimeter Flare Rates from ALMA

Kiana Burton, Meredith A. MacGregor, Rachel A. Osten +6

Proxima Centauri (Cen) has been the subject of many flaring studies due to its proximity and potential to host habitable planets. The discovery of millimeter flares from this M dwa…

Preparing for the Early eVolution Explorer: Characterizing the photochemical inputs and transit detection efficiencies of young planets using multiwavelength flare observations by TESS and Swift

Ward S. Howard, Meredith A. MacGregor, Adina D. Feinstein +6

Ultraviolet flare emission can drive photochemistry in exoplanet atmospheres and even serve as the primary source of uncertainty in atmospheric retrievals. Additionally, flare ener…

JWST/NIRISS reveals the water-rich "steam world" atmosphere of GJ 9827 d

Caroline Piaulet-Ghorayeb, Bjorn Benneke, Michael Radica +30

With sizable volatile envelopes but smaller radii than the solar system ice giants, sub-Neptunes have been revealed as one of the most common types of planet in the galaxy. While t…

The ArgusSpec Prototype: Autonomous Spectroscopic Follow-up of Flares Detected by Large Array Telescopes

Nathan W. Galliher, Thomas Procter, Nicholas M. Law +7

ArgusSpec is a prototype autonomous spectroscopic follow-up instrument designed to characterize flares detected by the Argus Pathfinder telescope array by taking short exposure (30…

Characterizing the Near-infrared Spectra of Flares from TRAPPIST-1 During JWST Transit Spectroscopy Observations

Ward S. Howard, Adam F. Kowalski, Laura Flagg +16

We present the first analysis of JWST near-infrared spectroscopy of stellar flares from TRAPPIST-1 during transits of rocky exoplanets. Four flares were observed from 0.6--2.8 m…

The apparent absence of forward scattering in the HD 53143 debris disk

Christopher C. Stark, Bin Ren, Meredith A. MacGregor +5

HD 53143 is a mature Sun-like star and host to a broad disk of dusty debris, including a cold outer ring of planetesimals near 90 AU. Unlike most other inclined debris disks imaged…
