Exoplanet Aeronomy: A Case Study of WASP-69 b’s Variable Thermosphere

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Aeronomy, the study of Earth’s upper atmosphere and its interaction with the local space environment, has long traced changes in the thermospheres of Earth and other solar system planets to solar variability in the X-ray and extreme-ultraviolet ...

A Photochemical Phosphorus-Hydrogen-Oxygen Network for Hydrogen-dominated Exoplanet Atmospheres

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Due to the detection of phosphine (PH _3 ) in the solar system gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, PH _3 has long been suggested to be detectable in exosolar substellar atmospheres too.

JWST/NIRISS Reveals the Water-rich “Steam World” Atmosphere of GJ 9827 d

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
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 the spectroscopic characterization of larger sub-Neptunes (2.5–4 R _⊕ ) has

Uniform Reanalysis of JWST MIRI 15 μm Exoplanet Eclipse Observations Using Frame-normalized Principal Component Analysis

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) MIRI 15 μ m time-series eclipse photometry presents a powerful way to probe for the presence of atmospheres on low-temperature rocky exoplanets orbiting nearby stars.

A New Approach to Compiling Exoatmospheric Target Lists and Quantifying the Ground-based Resources Needed to Vet Them

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Transiting exoplanet atmospheric characterization is currently in a golden age as dozens of exoplanet atmospheres are being studied by NASA’s Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes.

A High-resolution Non-detection of Escaping Helium in the Ultrahot Neptune LTT 9779b: Evidence for Weakened Evaporation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The recent discovery of “ultrahot” ( P < 1 day) Neptunes has come as a surprise: some of these planets have managed to retain gaseous envelopes despite being close enough to their host stars to trigger strong photoevaporation and/or Roche lobe overflow ...

Overcast Mornings and Clear Evenings in Hot Jupiter Exoplanet Atmospheres

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Aerosols are an old topic in the young field of exoplanet atmospheres. Understanding what they are, how they form, and where they go has long provided a fertile playground for theorists.
