Planet Mass Function around M Stars at 1–10 au: A Plethora of Sub-Earth Mass Objects

The Astrophysical Journal
Small planets (≲1 M _⊕ ) at intermediate orbital distances (∼1 au) represent an uncharted territory in exoplanetary science. The upcoming microlensing survey by the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will be sensitive to objects as light as Ganymede and ...

TESS Giants Transiting Giants. VI. Newly Discovered Hot Jupiters Provide Evidence for Efficient Obliquity Damping after the Main Sequence

The Astronomical Journal
The degree of alignment between a star’s spin axis and the orbital plane of its planets (the stellar obliquity) is related to interesting and poorly understood processes that occur during planet formation and evolution.

Up, Up, and Away: Winds and Dynamical Structure as a Function of Altitude in the Ultrahot Jupiter WASP-76b

The Astrophysical Journal
Due to the unprecedented signal strengths offered by the newest high-resolution spectrographs on 10 m class telescopes, exploring the 3D nature of exoplanets is possible with an unprecedented level of precision.

Early Time Small-scale Structures in Hot Exoplanet Atmosphere Simulations

The Astrophysical Journal
We report on the critical influence of small-scale flow structures (e.g., fronts, vortices, and waves) that immediately arise in hot exoplanet atmosphere simulations initialized with a resting state.

Clouds and Hazes in GJ 1214 b’s Metal-rich Atmosphere

The Astronomical Journal
The sub-Neptune GJ 1214 b has an infamously flat transmission spectrum, likely due to thick aerosols in its atmosphere. A recent JWST/MIRI spectroscopic phase curve of GJ 1214 b added to this picture, suggesting a highly reflective and metal-rich ...
