JWST phase curves of ZTFJ0038+2030 show inefficient heat redistribution (<10%) and nightside CO2 asymmetry in a tidally locked brown dwarf, yielding a system age of 7.5-8.8 Gyr and low common-envelope ejection efficiency.
GRAVITY+ observations yield a 12CO/13CO ratio of 91^{+24}_{-17} in β Pictoris b consistent with solar/ISM values and a tentative 1.4% atmospheric variability amplitude.
MELTYQ couples magma-atmosphere equilibrium models with spectral retrievals to constrain sub-Neptune magma oxidation states and volatile inventories from transmission spectra.
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.
Panchromatic JWST spectrum of WASP-121 b detects SiO and measures refractory-to-volatile ratios 3x stellar, consistent with mixed solid-gas accretion or migration with continued solid accretion.
Atmospheric retrievals on CRIRES+ spectra of 2MASS J0249-0557 c and two eta Pic YMG brown dwarfs give solar-like C/O, metallicity, and carbon isotope ratios, supporting gravitational collapse formation for the companion.
Simulations indicate that order-of-magnitude changes in TiO2 and SiO2 abundances in lava melts produce distinguishable TiO, SiO, and SiO2 features in dry lava planet emission spectra, potentially observable with 12 JWST eclipses for the brightest targets.
Retrievals on six isolated brown dwarfs yield near-solar C/O (0.51-0.63), metallicities, and 12C/13C ratios (91-155) supporting molecular cloud fragmentation origin.
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.
The paper identifies key unresolved questions in giant planet formation, interiors, and their role in planetary systems.
