Slow Rotation for the Super-puff Planet Kepler-51d

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Super-puffs are low-density planets of unknown origin and composition. If they form by accreting nebular gas through a circumplanetary disk, one might expect super-puffs to be spinning quickly. Here, we derive upper limits on the rotational oblateness of

Improved Empirical Backgrounds for JWST NIRISS Image/Wide-field Slitless Spectroscopy Data Reduction

The Astronomical Journal
The Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a versatile instrument for collecting imaging and wide-field slitless spectroscopy (WFSS) data for surveys of galaxy clusters, emission-line galaxies,

Discovery of stars surrounded by iron dust in the LMC

, 2019
We consider a small sample of oxygen-rich, asymptotic giant branch stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, observed by the Spitzer Space Telescope, exhibiting a peculiar spectral energy distribution, which can be hardly explained by the common assumption ...

JWST MIRI/Medium Resolution Spectrograph (MRS) Observations and Spectral Models of the Underluminous Type Ia Supernova 2022xkq

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a JWST mid-infrared (MIR) spectrum of the underluminous Type Ia Supernova (SN Ia) 2022xkq, obtained with the medium-resolution spectrometer on the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) ∼130 days post-explosion.

The AURORA Survey: Tracing Galactic Outflows at z ≳ 2.5 with JWST/NIRSpec Near-ultraviolet Absorption Lines

The Astrophysical Journal
We probe galactic-scale outflows in star-forming galaxies at z  ≳ 2.5 drawn from the JWST/NIRSpec AURORA program. For the first time, we directly compare outflow properties from the early Universe to the present day using near-UV absorption lines.

Characterizing Habitable Extrasolar Planets using Spectral Fingerprints

, 2009
The detection and characterization of Earth-like planet is approaching rapidly thanks to radial velocity surveys (HARPS), transit searches (Corot, Kepler) and space observatories dedicated to their characterization are already in development phase (James

JWST-TST DREAMS: Secondary Atmosphere Constraints for the Habitable Zone Planet TRAPPIST-1 e

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The TRAPPIST-1 system offers one of the best opportunities to characterize temperate terrestrial planets beyond our own solar system. Within the TRAPPIST-1 system, planet e stands out as highly likely to sustain surface liquid water if it possesses an ...
