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

Seasonal Changes in the Atmosphere of HD 80606 b Observed with JWST’s NIRSpec/G395H

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
High-eccentricity gas giant planets serve as unique laboratories for studying the thermal and chemical properties of H/He-dominated atmospheres. One of the most extreme cases is HD 80606 b—a hot Jupiter orbiting a Sun-like star with an eccentricity of 0 ...

A Panchromatic Characterization of the Evening and Morning Atmosphere of WASP-107 b: Composition and Cloud Variations, and Insight into the Effect of Stellar Contamination

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Limb-resolved transmission spectroscopy has the potential to transform our understanding of exoplanetary atmospheres. By separately measuring the transmission spectra of the evening and morning limbs, these atmospheric regions can be individually ...

Fractal Aggregate Aerosols in the Virga Cloud Code. II. Exploring the Effects of Key Cloud Parameters in Warm Neptune, Hot Jupiter and Brown Dwarf Atmospheres

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Aerosols and clouds are expected to be ubiquitous in exoplanet and brown dwarf atmospheres, where they can have a significant impact on transmission and emission spectra.

TOI-6324 b: An Earth-mass Ultra-short-period Planet Transiting a Nearby M Dwarf

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report the confirmation of TOI-6324 b, an Earth-sized (1.059 ± 0.041 R _⊕ ) ultra-short-period (USP) planet orbiting a nearby (∼20 pc) M dwarf. Using the newly commissioned Keck Planet Finder spectrograph, we have measured the mass of TOI-6324 b 1.17 ±

Exoplanet Technosignature Detection of Orbital Terraforming Mirror Structures

open access: yes
The search for technosignatures no longer rests solely on radio signals. Modern wide-field surveys now make it possible to detect engineered structures at interstellar distances. Among the most promising of these are space-based mirrors, as large reflective constructs designed to manipulate planetary climates by increasing or reducing incoming sunlight.
