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.

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 ...

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.

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.

TOI-880 is an Aligned, Coplanar, Multiplanet System

The Astronomical Journal
Although many cases of stellar spin–orbit misalignment are known, it is usually unclear whether a single planet’s orbit was tilted or if the entire protoplanetary disk was misaligned.

Carving Out the Inner Edge of the Period Ratio Distribution through Giant Impacts

The Astrophysical Journal
The distribution of orbital period ratios between adjacent observed exoplanets is approximately uniform, but exhibits a strong falloff toward close orbital separations.

An Obliquity Measurement of the Hot Neptune TOI-1694b

The Astronomical Journal
We present spectral observations of the multiplanet host TOI-1694 during the transit of TOI-1694b, a 26.1 M _⊕ hot Neptune with a 3.77 day orbit. By analyzing radial velocities obtained from the Keck Planet Finder, we modeled the Rossiter–McLaughlin ...

Eclipse Mapping with MIRI: 2D Map of HD 189733b from 8 μm JWST MIRI LRS Observations

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Observations and models of transiting hot Jupiter exoplanets indicate that atmospheric circulation features may cause large spatial flux contrasts across their daysides.

A Larger Sample Confirms Small Planets around Hot Stars Are Misaligned

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The distribution of stellar obliquities provides critical insight into the formation and evolution pathways of exoplanets. In the past decade, it was found that hot stars hosting hot Jupiters are more likely to have high obliquities than cool stars, but ...
