WASP-107b's density is even lower: a case study for the physics of planetary gas envelope accretion and orbital migration
Caroline Piaulet, Björn Benneke, Ryan A. Rubenzahl +21
With a mass in the Neptune regime and a radius of Jupiter, WASP-107b presents a challenge to planet formation theories. Meanwhile, the planet's low surface gravity and the star's b…
Transmission spectroscopy for the warm sub-Neptune HD3167c: evidence for molecular absorption and a possible high metallicity atmosphere
Thomas Mikal-Evans, Ian J. M. Crossfield, Bjorn Benneke +26
We present a transmission spectrum for the warm (500-600K) sub-Neptune HD3167c obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 infrared spectrograph. We combine these…
Beyond Equilibrium Temperature: How the Atmosphere/Interior Connection Affects the Onset of Methane, Ammonia, and Clouds in Warm Transiting Giant Planets
Jonathan J. Fortney, Channon Visscher, Mark S. Marley +5
The atmospheric pressure-temperature profiles for transiting giant planets cross a range of chemical transitions. Here we show that the particular shape of these irradiated profile…
Reflected Light Observations of the Galilean Satellites from Cassini: a testbed for cold terrestrial exoplanets
L. C. Mayorga, David Charbonneau, D. P. Thorngren
For terrestrial exoplanets with thin atmospheres or no atmospheres, the surface contributes light to the reflected light signal of the planet. Measurement of the variety of disk-in…
Tentative Evidence for Water Vapor in the Atmosphere of the Neptune-Size Exoplanet HD 106315 c
Laura Kreidberg, Paul Mollière, Ian J. M. Crossfield +27
We present a transmission spectrum for the Neptune-size exoplanet HD 106315 c from optical to infrared wavelengths based on transit observations from the Hubble Space Telescope/Wid…
Aerosol Composition of Hot Giant Exoplanets Dominated by Silicates and Hydrocarbon Hazes
Peter Gao, Daniel P. Thorngren, Elspeth K. H. Lee +6
Aerosols are common in the atmospheres of exoplanets across a wide swath of temperatures, masses, and ages. These aerosols strongly impact observations of transmitted, reflected, a…
The Magellan/PFS Exoplanet Search: A 55-day period dense Neptune transiting the bright () star HD 95338
Matías R. Díaz, James S. Jenkins, Fabo Feng +14
We report the detection of a transiting, dense Neptune planet candidate orbiting the bright () K0.5V star HD 95338. Detection of the 55-day periodic signal comes from the an…
Re-inflation of warm and hot Jupiters
Thaddeus D. Komacek, Daniel P. Thorngren, Eric D. Lopez +1
Understanding the anomalous radii of many transiting hot gas giant planets is a fundamental problem of planetary science. Recent detections of re-inflated warm Jupiters orbiting po…
