JWST MIRI/LRS data combined with archival observations detect magnesium silicate clouds (likely Mg2SiO4) in HD 209458b at 1-10 mbar with ~0.1 micron particles using a new rule-based data reduction approach.
The atmosphere of TOI-1130b shows high metallicity, low C/O, and elevated mean molecular weight consistent with ex-situ formation beyond the water ice line.
JWST/NIRCam observations of 2024 YR4 extend the orbital arc by eight months, reduce 2032 lunar encounter uncertainty by >30x, and rule out impact with a 22,900 ± 800 km miss distance.
J0404+1112 is a 2.93 hr period totally eclipsing WD+BD system with a hot DA white dwarf (T_eff ~28,000 K) and ~40 M_Jup brown dwarf, enabling isolation of nightside emission and serving as a JWST atmospheric benchmark.
Updated DALI models reproduce observed C2H2 fluxes with solar C/O and find the C2H2/H2O flux ratio sensitive to elemental abundances and small-grain abundance in planet-forming disk regions.
Observational study of 290 exoplanet-host stars finds higher C, O, S, Fe, Ni abundances in giant-planet hosts than small-planet hosts, with C/O ratios, hot/warm differences, and mass correlations that vary by subpopulation.
CARMApy provides a Python interface to the ExoCARMA microphysics code, enabling simulation of cloud particle size distributions and rates in exoplanet atmospheres with claimed consistency to prior versions and speed gains of 1.9x single-threaded and 3.8x multithreaded.
