Warm Jupiters Around M-dwarfs are Great Opportunities for Extensive Chemical, Cloud and Haze Characterisation with JWST

The population of short-period giant exoplanets around M-dwarf stars is slowly rising. These planets present an extraordinary opportunity for atmospheric characterisation and defy our current understanding of planetary formation.

3D Simulations Of TRAPPIST-1e With Varying CO2, CH4 And Haze Profiles

Using a 3D General Circulation Model, the Unified Model, we present results from simulations of a tidally-locked TRAPPIST-1e with varying carbon dioxide CO2 and methane CH4 gas concentrations, and their […]
