Patchy Forsterite Clouds in the Atmospheres of Two Highly Variable Exoplanet Analogs
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present an atmospheric retrieval analysis of a pair of highly variable, ∼200 Myr old, early T type planetary-mass exoplanet analogs SIMP J01365662+0933473 and 2MASS J21392676+0220226 using the Brewster retrieval framework.

Variability of Known Exoplanet Host Stars Observed by TESS [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Both direct and indirect methods of exoplanet detection rely upon detailed knowledge of the potential host stars. Such stellar characterization allows for accurate extraction of planetary properties, as well as contributing to our overall understanding ...

Traveling Planetary-scale Waves Cause Cloud Variability on Tidally Locked Aquaplanets
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Cloud cover at the planetary limb of water-rich Earth-like planets is likely to weaken chemical signatures in transmission spectra, impeding attempts to characterize these atmospheres.

The Variable Detection of Atmospheric Escape around the Young, Hot Neptune AU Mic b
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Photoevaporation is a potential explanation for several features within exoplanet demographics. Atmospheric escape observed in young Neptune-sized exoplanets can provide insight into and characterize which mechanisms drive this evolution and at what ...

Magnetohydrodynamical Torsional Oscillations from Thermoresistive Instability in Hot Jupiters
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Hot Jupiter atmospheres may be subject to a thermoresistive instability where an increase in the electrical conductivity due to ohmic heating results in runaway of the atmospheric temperature.
