JWST NIRSpec observations of LTT 1445 A b yield a featureless 3-5μm transmission spectrum, limiting atmospheric metallicity to ≳350× solar under grey-cloud models.
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.
POSEIDON now includes lab-derived rocky surface albedos, enabling JWST emission spectra to separate thin versus thick atmospheres and potentially identify granite-like versus basaltic surfaces.
Accounting for stellar and orbital uncertainties shows that predicted eclipse depths for bare-rock models of rocky exoplanets carry substantial uncertainty comparable to measurements, establishing a fundamental precision limit for atmospheric and compositional inferences.
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.
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.
Revised mass of 0.503 M_Earth and radius of 0.736 R_Earth for GJ 367 b give a density of 6.9 g cm^{-3} and an iron fraction of 50-70% via new tidal and composition modeling.
