Wind speed measurements in seven ultra-hot Jupiters decrease with temperature, consistent with magnetic drag and implying magnetic field strengths of a few gauss.
WASP-96b shows super-solar metallicity of 2-6x stellar, roughly stellar C/O, tentative SO2 consistent with photochemistry, and an optical slope from scattering aerosols, supporting core-accretion formation beyond the water snowline.
