We report the discovery and characterization of three transiting giant planets in the TIC118798035 system. The three planets were identified as transiting candidates from data of t…
Revising the Giant Planet Mass-Metallicity Relation: Deciphering the Formation Sequence of Giant Planets
Yayaati Chachan, Jonathan J. Fortney, Kazumasa Ohno +2
The rate at which giant planets accumulate solids and gas is a critical component of planet formation models, yet it is extremely challenging to predict from first principles. Char…
A transiting giant planet in orbit around a 0.2-solar-mass host star
Edward M. Bryant, Andrés Jordán, Joel D. Hartman +56
Planet formation models suggest that the formation of giant planets is significantly harder around low-mass stars, due to the scaling of protoplanetary disc masses with stellar mas…
Cloudy mornings and clear evenings on a gas giant exoplanet
Sagnick Mukherjee, David K. Sing, Guangwei Fu +25
The spectra of exoplanet atmospheres are affected by aerosols (clouds and hazes) of uncertain origin. Proposed aerosol formation mechanisms include gas condensation or photochemica…
A Revised Density Estimate for the Largest Known Exoplanet, HAT-P-67 b
Gavin Wang, William O. Balmer, Laurent Pueyo +7
Low-density () hot Saturns are expected to quickly ( Myr) lose their atmospheres due to stellar irradiation, explaining their rarity. HAT-P-67 b seems…
The Super-Puff WASP-193b is On A Well-Aligned Orbit
Samuel W. Yee, Gudmundur Stefansson, Daniel Thorngren +8
The "super-puffs" are a population of planets that have masses comparable to that of Neptune but radii similar to Jupiter, leading to extremely low bulk densities ($ρ_p \lesssim 0.…
Statistical trends in JWST transiting exoplanet atmospheres
Guangwei Fu, Kevin B. Stevenson, David K. Sing +13
Our brains are hardwired for pattern recognition as correlations are useful for predicting and understanding nature. As more exoplanet atmospheres are being characterized with JWST…
A Comprehensive Reanalysis of K2-18 b's JWST NIRISS+NIRSpec Transmission Spectrum
Stephen P. Schmidt, Ryan J. MacDonald, Shang-Min Tsai +13
Sub-Neptunes are the most common type of planet in our galaxy. Interior structure models suggest that the coldest sub-Neptunes could host liquid water oceans underneath their hydro…
VLTI/GRAVITY Observations of AF Lep b: Preference for Circular Orbits, Cloudy Atmospheres, and a Moderately Enhanced Metallicity
William O. Balmer, Kyle Franson, Antoine Chomez +26
Direct imaging observations are biased towards wide-separation, massive companions that have degenerate formation histories. Although the majority of exoplanets are expected to for…
Reassessing Sub-Neptune Structure, Radii, and Thermal Evolution
Yao Tang, Jonathan J. Fortney, Francis Nimmo +3
We present a novel python-based 1D sub-Neptune evolution model that emphasizes the thermal evolution and potential solidification of the rock/iron core and the structure of the rad…
BOWIE-ALIGN: JWST reveals hints of planetesimal accretion and complex sulphur chemistry in the atmosphere of the misaligned hot Jupiter WASP-15b
James Kirk, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Alastair B. Claringbold +23
We present a transmission spectrum of the misaligned hot Jupiter WASP-15b from 2.8-5.2 microns observed with JWST's NIRSpec/G395H grating. Our high signal to noise data, which has…
The Featherweight Giant: Unraveling the Atmosphere of a 17 Myr Planet with JWST
Pa Chia Thao, Andrew W. Mann, Adina D. Feinstein +29
The characterization of young planets (< 300 Myr) is pivotal for understanding planet formation and evolution. We present the 3-5m transmission spectrum of the 17 Myr, Jupiter-s…
Separating Super-Puffs vs. Hot Jupiters Among Young Puffy Planets
Amalia Karalis, Eve J. Lee, Daniel P. Thorngren
Discoveries of close-in young puffy (R 6 R) planets raise the question of whether they are bona fide hot Jupiters or puffed-up Neptunes, potentially plac…
Surviving in the Hot Neptune Desert: The Discovery of the Ultra-Hot Neptune TOI-3261b
Emma Nabbie, Chelsea X. Huang, Jennifer A. Burt +45
The recent discoveries of Neptune-sized ultra-short period planets (USPs) challenge existing planet formation theories. It is unclear whether these residents of the Hot Neptune Des…
A warm Neptune's methane reveals core mass and vigorous atmospheric mixing
David K. Sing, Zafar Rustamkulov, Daniel P. Thorngren +18
Observations of transiting gas giant exoplanets have revealed a pervasive depletion of methane, which has only recently been identified atmospherically. The depletion is thought to…
Giant Outer Transiting Exoplanet Mass (GOT `EM) Survey. V. Two Giant Planets in Kepler-511 but Only One Ran Away
Yayaati Chachan, Paul A. Dalba, Daniel P. Thorngren +6
Systems hosting multiple giant planets are important laboratories for understanding planetary formation and migration processes. We present a nearly decade-long Doppler spectroscop…
Helium in the Extended Atmosphere of the Warm Super-Puff TOI-1420b
Shreyas Vissapragada, Michael Greklek-McKeon, Dion Linssen +11
