If you want to read more about limb asymmetries, Cathal and collaborators now have a paper on some of things he discussed in his talk accepted to ApJL and up on arXiv. #exoplanets #astronomy arxiv.org/abs/2609.16834

The asymmetric limbs of HD 209458 b observed with JWST NIRCam F322W2/F444W
We present a reanalysis of JWST NIRCam F322W2/F444W transit observations of the hot Jupiter HD 209458 b to extract morning and evening transmission spectra. To determine whether asymmetries in the tra...

Hot Jupiters aren't expected form in their current locations. In their BOWIE+ seminar, James Kirk and Evie Ahrer explain how observations of the atmospheric composition might be used to discern between different migration mechanisms. #exoplanets #astronomy www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJTG...

Just shared a new paper on the arXiv, led my @luiswel.bsky.social and me, on the challenges associated with detecting gases in exoplanet atmospheres. As the field pushes towards new and exciting opportunities, we thought it was time to talk about what it really means to “detect” something!
