Evidence for a Nonzero Eccentricity Superpuff Exoplanet WASP-107 b Using JWST Occultation Observation

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
WASP-107 b is an extremely low-density superpuff exoplanet whose inflated radius and evidence of strong internal heating make it a key target for understanding planetary structure and evolution.

The James Webb Space Telescope NIRSpec-PRISM Transmission Spectrum of the Super-puff, Kepler-51d

The Astronomical Journal
Kepler-51 is a 500 Myr G dwarf hosting three “super-puffs” and one low-mass nontransiting planet. Kepler-51d, the coolest ( T _eq ∼ 350 K) transiting planet in this system is also one of the lowest-density super-puffs known to date ( ρ _p = 0.038 ± 0.009

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,

On the Detection of Exorings in Reflected Light with JWST NIRCam

The Astronomical Journal
When directly imaging a cold-giant exoplanet hosting a ring system, the reflected light from the rings can outshine the planet’s thermal emission and reflected light in the near-infrared.

The Perfect Host: JWST Cepheid Observations in a Background-free Type Ia Supernova Host Confirm No Bias in Hubble-constant Measurements

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Cycle 1 JWST observations of Cepheids in Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) hosts resolved their red-giant-dominated near-infrared backgrounds, sharply reducing crowding and showing that photometric bias in lower-resolution Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data does ...

The James Webb Space Telescope Absolute Flux Calibration. IV. Near-Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph Imaging

The Astronomical Journal
The absolute flux calibration of the Near-infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (NIRISS) imaging modes is derived using observations of photometric standards with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

Deconvolution of JWST/MIRI Images: Applications to an Active Galactic Nucleus Model and GATOS Observations of NGC 5728

The Astronomical Journal
The superb image quality, stability, and sensitivity of JWST permit deconvolution techniques to be pursued with a fidelity unavailable to ground-based observations. We present an assessment of several deconvolution approaches to improve image quality and

Undermassive Host Galaxies of Five z ∼ 6 Luminous Quasars Detected with JWST

The Astrophysical Journal
We measure host galaxy stellar masses for a sample of five luminous quasars at z ∼ 5–7. Using JWST/NIRCam medium-band images of nearby point-spread function reference stars, we carefully subtract the contribution from the quasar light to place upper and ...

Expanding the Ice Inventory of NGC 1333 IRAS 2A with INDRA Using JWST Observations: Tracing Organic Refractories and Beyond

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
In the era of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), with its unprecedented sensitivity and spectral resolution, infrared spectral surveys have revealed a rich inventory of ices, including complex organic molecules (COMs), in young stellar objects ...
