Wardenier, Vivien Parmentier, Michael R. Line et al. — «Ultra-hot Jupiters are among the best targets for atmospheric characterization at high spectral resolution. Resolving their transmission spectra as a function of orbital phase offers a unique window into the 3D…»

16:59 <galois> [arXiv] “GASTLI: An open-source coupled interior-atmosphere model to unveil gas giant composition” Lorena Acuña, Laura Kreidberg, Meng Zhai et al. — «The metal mass fractions of gas giants are a powerful tool to constrain their formation mechanisms and evolution. The metal content is inferred by comparing mass and radius measurements with interior structure and evolution models. In the midst of the JWST, CHEOPS, TESS, and the…»

Kurtovic, Ewine F. van Dishoeck et al. — «Most stars form in multiple systems whose properties can significantly impact circumstellar disk evolution. We investigate the physical and chemical properties of the equal-mass, small separation (~66 mas, ~9 au) DF Tau binary system.…»
