An Ultra-Hot Neptune in the Neptune desert
James S. Jenkins, Matías R. Díaz, Nicolás T. Kurtovic +81
About one out of 200 Sun-like stars has a planet with an orbital period shorter than one day: an ultra-short-period planet (Sanchis-ojeda et al. 2014; Winn et al. 2018). All of the…
LRG-BEASTS: Ground-based Detection of Sodium and a Steep Optical Slope in the Atmosphere of the Highly Inflated Hot-Saturn WASP-21b
L. Alderson, J. Kirk, M. López-Morales +7
We present the optical transmission spectrum of the highly inflated Saturn-mass exoplanet WASP-21b, using three transits obtained with the ACAM instrument on the William Herschel T…
Search for helium in the upper atmosphere of the hot Jupiter WASP-127 b using Gemini/Phoenix
Leonardo A. dos Santos, David Ehrenreich, Vincent Bourrier +8
Large-scale exoplanet search surveys have shown evidence that atmospheric escape is a ubiquitous process that shapes the evolution and demographics of planets. However, we lack a d…
EUV irradiation of exoplanet atmospheres occurs on Gyr timescales
George W. King, Peter J. Wheatley
Exoplanet atmospheres are known to be vulnerable to mass loss through irradiation by stellar X-ray and extreme-ultraviolet emission. We investigate how this high-energy irradiation…
Two transiting hot Jupiters from the WASP survey: WASP-150b and WASP-176b
Benjamin F. Cooke, Don Pollacco, Y. Almleaky +49
We report the discovery of two transiting exoplanets from the WASP survey, WASP-150b and WASP-176b. WASP-150b is an eccentric ( = 0.38) hot Jupiter on a 5.6 day orbit around a $…
A remnant planetary core in the hot-Neptune desert
David J. Armstrong, Théo A. Lopez, Vardan Adibekyan +91
The interiors of giant planets remain poorly understood. Even for the planets in the Solar System, difficulties in observation lead to large uncertainties in the properties of plan…
