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.
Wind speed measurements in seven ultra-hot Jupiters decrease with temperature, consistent with magnetic drag and implying magnetic field strengths of a few gauss.
Introduces a reflection spectroscopy metric and uses KELT-9 injection-recovery tests to demonstrate that rotational line broadening from rapid stellar rotation and large misalignments must be included when assessing detectability of exoplanet reflected spectra.
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.

Spinning out of focus: The challenge of rotational line broadening in exoplanet reflection spectroscopy
Introduces a reflection spectroscopy metric and uses KELT-9 injection-recovery tests to demonstrate that rotational line broadening from rapid stellar rotation and large misalignments must be included when assessing detectability of exoplanet reflected spectra.
