The Tale of WASP-107b’s Tail
This exoplanet has…a tail?! Read on to learn about how astronomers studied the atmosphere of exoplanet WASP-107b and clues they found about atmospheric escape.
Detecting non-uniform clouds on hot Jupiters in the era of JWST
As the field of exoplanet atmospheric science rapidly moves towards understanding these fascinating worlds as complex, three-dimensional entities, today’s paper explores how we can find non-uniform cloud cover on exoplanets using JWST!
Blurred Lines: degeneracies in modeling exoplanet atmospheres
Scrutinizing a popular method of characterizing exoplanet atmospheres reveals an inherent degeneracy that may only be overcome in special cases.
Fraught with Spots
If we don’t understand starspots, we won’t understand exoplanet atmospheres.
