![Planets that will be observed with MIRI in transit, in JWST Cycles 1-5. As mentioned in section 5, we see a wide variety of planet sizes and equilibrium temperatures. The currently published planets are shown in black dots, and listed in Table 1 and Figure 1. We have ommitted the white dwarf planet WD 1856 b (Teq = 160K, Rp = 10.2R⊕, cycle 4), as well as the disintergrating planets K2-22 b (see section 2.1) and BD+05 4868 A b (Teq = 1820K, unknown Rp, cycle 4). -- [astro-ph.EP]](https://i0.wp.com/astrobiology.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/A-Homogeneous.png?resize=1200%2C720&ssl=1)
[astro-ph.EP] The launch of JWST has enabled unprecedented atmospheric characterization of exoplanets. In particular, the JWST-MIRI instrument in the mid-infrared enables probing of molecular species that are harder to detect […]
