Native-resolution retrievals on 0.97-5.27 micron JWST spectra of VHS 1256 b find a ~79% cloud deck, solar-like metallicity and C/O, and depleted 18O in a partially cloudy disequilibrium atmosphere.
JWST MIRI/LRS data combined with archival observations detect magnesium silicate clouds (likely Mg2SiO4) in HD 209458b at 1-10 mbar with ~0.1 micron particles using a new rule-based data reduction approach.
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.
3D GCM simulations favor a thick (>=10 bar), CO2-rich (>1% mixing ratio) atmosphere for 55 Cancri e that matches JWST spectra while ruling out thin or CO/CO2-poor cases.
Tentative CO detection from WASP-33b eclipse data alone with SPIRou validates stacking ingresses/egresses and shows Doppler eclipse mapping can constrain rotation with additional observations.
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.
A comprehensive public dataset of simulated Ariel exoplanet transmission spectra is released to benchmark detrending algorithms, with an ML baseline highlighting dataset shift risks.
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.
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.
Tier 1 Ariel spectra suffice for sub-1.5 dex constraints on H2O and CO2 in giant-planet atmospheres, with higher tiers providing only incremental gains and more molecules in select cases.
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 solar photospheric abundances yield Z/X = 0.0187 with C, N, O at 8.46, 7.83, 8.69, preserving the solar modeling discrepancy and revealing a modest volatile-refractory offset from CI chondrites.
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.
MASCARA-1b atmosphere has solar metallicity, solar C/O, 2.5x solar refractories, and 2.3x solar refractory-to-volatile ratio, consistent with accretion between soot-H2O and H2O-CO snowlines.
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.
Detection and characterization of two eccentric warm Jupiters TOI-2147 b (P=26.2 d, e=0.29, M=116 M⊕) and TOI-6019 b (P=14.5 d, e=0.48, M=149 M⊕) with TESS and MaHPS data, showing mildly inflated radii consistent with tidal heating.
