Posted this on the "other site" but wanted to share here: I made a new gif for a new site tracking JWST observations of exoplanets (still a work in progress): jlothringer.github.io/Dashboard.html What an exciting ~3 years it has been! ✨🔭✨
WASP-107 b is a cool low-density exoplanet that experiences ~100 K of morning-evening temperature difference usually found in much hotter planets. Complex atmospheric models are needed to explain this behaviour. Murphy et al.: nature.com/articles/s4155… / rdcu.be/dUWh6
Descubierto un planeta gigante tan ligero como el algodón de azúcar. El @iaa_csic colidera el estudio del nuevo planeta, que es un 50% más grande que Júpiter, pero con una densidad aproximada a la décima parte de la del gigante gaseoso. ➡️tiny.cc/kkv2yz
🆕 Have astronomers detected the first ever extrasolar ‘glory’? 🌈 Potential signs of the rainbow-like ‘glory effect’ have been detected on a hellish planet outside our Solar System. 🤝 The team used data from @ESA_CHEOPS & other missions 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor…
Phase-curve of ultra-hot-Jupiter WASP-167b observed by TESS, Kálmán et al, arxiv.org/abs/2403.19468
WASP-189 b is a gas giant exoplanet larger than Jupiter. It's 325 light-years away and a year there, one spin around its star, takes 3.5 days. go.nasa.gov/3Ti5TsX
Excellent data quality in observations of atmosphere of ultra-hot-Jupiter WASP-189b by MAROON-X/Gemini-North @bibianaprinoth @HoeijmakersJens et al, arxiv.org/abs/2403.08863
Atmospheres of 14 gas-giant #exoplanets observed with @NASAHubble & Spitzer, by Charlotte Fairman, @StellarPlanet & @MartianColonist arxiv.org/abs/2403.07801

Update on tidally-induced orbital decay of #exoplanet WASP-12b, by Leonardi et al, arxiv.org/abs/2402.12120
Shape of tidally-distorted #exoplanet WASP-12b determined by @ESA_CHEOPS by Akinsanmi et al, arxiv.org/abs/2402.10486
Periastron precession in the orbit of #exoplanet WASP-19b, from HARPS RVs, by Bernabò et al, arxiv.org/abs/2402.12896
Burning, churning weather on another world. @NASAHubble saw massive weather fronts, storms, and fierce cyclones during three years of observing WASP-121 b. Temperatures hit 3,450° F (2,150 Kelvin) on this planet 880 light-years away. go.nasa.gov/48eCTaV

The exoplanet WASP-121 b, 880 light-years away, is on the verge of being ripped apart by its star. The star's gravitational force is likely pulling it into a shape that's more football than planet. go.nasa.gov/3H7B192
WASP-69b's Escaping Envelope is Confined to a Tail Extending at Least Seven Planet Radii Tyler, et al., ApJ -> planet's outflow using Keck/NIRSPEC -> consistent with He I 10830 @CARMENES_exopl obs & ultra-narrowband filter obs but significantly longer arxiv.org/abs/2312.02381
Catch a whiff of this. Webb made a definitive detection of methane gas in the atmosphere of “warm Jupiter” WASP-80 b. (The planet is similar in size to Jupiter, but with much warmer temperatures.) Hear directly from the research team on their discovery: go.nasa.gov/46mOvYx
