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.
High-resolution M-band spectroscopy detects super-stellar SiO in TWA 5 B, implying no significant magnesium-silicate clouds and formation consistent with core accretion beyond the CO snowline or gravitational instability with solid enrichment.
High-resolution dayside spectroscopy detects H2O at 2.6σ and CO at 2.3σ in CoRoT-2b, yielding supersolar C/O ratio of 0.91 and subsolar metallicity.
Uranus and Neptune are reinterpreted as magma-ocean giants with hydrogen-rich interiors rather than traditional ice giants, consistent with observations via three fit parameters each.
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.
No exomoon signal detected in radial velocity data of β Pictoris b; upper limits reach 80 Earth masses at 1-day periods and 1 Jupiter mass at 200-day periods.
