Precise Constraints on the Energy Budget of WASP-121 b from Its JWST NIRISS/SOSS Phase Curve

The Astronomical Journal
Ultra-hot Jupiters exhibit day-to-night temperature contrasts upwards of 1000 K due to competing effects of strong winds, short radiative timescales, magnetic drag, and H _2 dissociation/recombination. Spectroscopic phase curves provide critical insights

Effects of the three-dimensional structure of hot exoplanet atmospheres on observations and retrieval models

, 2020
Nowdays, we are able to discover more and more exoplanets, and even more important we can observe their atmospheres and we are starting to get information on their physical, dynamic and, chemical properties. With the new generation of space telescopes such as the JWST or Ariel, we will be able to observe spectral features that are now unobservable ...

Unraveling the Mystery of the Peculiar and Young Hot Jupiter CoRoT-2 b. II. Phase-resolved Emission Spectroscopy with Very Large Telescope/CRIRES+ and Gemini South/IGRINS

The Astronomical Journal
Hot Jupiters are expected to be tidally locked and synchronously rotating due to their short orbital periods. These conditions create large day–night temperature contrasts and are thought to drive eastward superrotating jets.

The Impact of the Explicit Representation of Convection on the Climate of a Tidally Locked Planet in Global Stretched-mesh Simulations

The Astrophysical Journal
Convective processes are crucial in shaping exoplanetary atmospheres but are computationally expensive to simulate directly. A novel technique of simulating moist convection on tidally locked exoplanets is to use a global 3D model with a stretched mesh ...

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

The 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

Oxygen Left Behind: Atmospheric Enrichment Due to Fractionation in Sub-Neptunes Using BOREAS

The Astrophysical Journal
The evolution of exoplanetary atmospheres is strongly influenced by atmospheric escape, particularly for close-in planets. Fractionation during atmospheric loss can preferentially remove lighter elements such as hydrogen, while retaining heavier species ...

A Next-generation Exoplanet Atmospheric Retrieval Framework for Transmission Spectroscopy (NEXOTRANS): Comparative Characterization for WASP-39 b Using JWST NIRISS, NIRSpec PRISM, and MIRI Observations

The Astrophysical Journal
The advent of JWST has marked a new era in exoplanetary atmospheric studies, offering higher-resolution data and greater precision across a broader spectral range than previous space-based telescopes.

A Comprehensive Sulfur Chemistry Network Including Excited S(1D) and SO(1Δ) for the XODIAC Photochemical Model: Accounting for Missing Sulfur Processes in Venus and Exo-Venus Analogs

The Astrophysical Journal
Sulfur chemistry plays a central role in controlling the atmospheric structure, cloud formation, and composition of Venus and Venus-like exoplanets. However, key reactions involving ground- and excited-state sulfur species remain poorly constrained, and ...

First Results from WINERED: Detection of Emission Lines from Neutral Iron and a Combined Set of Trace Species on the Dayside of WASP-189 b

The Astronomical Journal
Ground- and space-based observations have revealed that ultrahot Jupiters (UHJs, T _eq  > 2200 K) typically have inverted thermal profiles, while cooler hot Jupiters have noninverted ones.
