Young sub-Neptunes transition from core-powered bolometric escape to photoevaporative escape at smaller radii for lower-mass and more irradiated planets, with self-consistent simulations yielding combined mass-loss rates and analytic transition scalings.
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.
Photochemical kinetic-transport models indicate CS2 abundance in gas giant exoplanets peaks at Teq 500-700 K through CH4-H2S chemistry with S2 photolysis as the driver.
Clouds drive over 1000 K heating at depth in sub-Neptune atmospheres, producing molten mantle interfaces for most planets in the sample and increasing abundances of O2, SiH4, and SiO by at least 36 percent.
SPHEREx spectra of 37 field brown dwarfs show atmospheric models struggle with J/H/K peaks and 4um window especially at L/T transition, with data preferring weak-mixing Elf Owl models.
TOI-1533 hosts an inner sub-Neptune (P=3.63 d, R=3.15 R⊕) and outer super-Neptune-mass hot giant (P=8.06 d, R>7.5 R⊕, M≈40 M⊕, ρ<0.48 g cm⁻³) both transiting an active K-dwarf.
