Matthew Murphy: new panchromatic limb-asymmetry obs. of WASP-107b show lots of morning/evening differences and evidence for nightside formation of KCl clouds. For once both 1D and GCM models agree! #AAS245

Barstow: we expect to see methane as the major carbon-carrier in cooler planets, but reality is proving more complicated...

* WASP-80b: ✅ (yes)
* WASP-43b: ❌ (no)
* WASP-107b: ⁉️(yes, but 100x lower abundance).

This one has spent a *long* time in the oven, so credit to Nikolai Piskunov (lead author), @nplinnspace.bsky.social (check out her paper on the real WASP-107b data here: bsky.app/profile/npli...), and the CRIRES+ Consortium.

Thanks for reading!

Dank der tollen Podcastepisode kenne ich nun auch den "Flauschplaneten" WASP-107b, auf dem es Silikatsandwolken gibt und Sand regnet.🤩

Webb details WASP-107b, the weird exoplanet where it rains sand
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) recently looked at WASP-107b, a puffy, strange, hot planet about 200 light-years from Earth.

A team of astronomers used JWST to study the atmosphere of the strange exoplanet WASP 107b and detected water, sulfur dioxide, and sand clouds. These observations detected for the first time chemical footprints of silicate (sand) vapour forming high altitude clouds.

Are popcorn planets the same as candy floss planets? I lose track… (if not, add candy floss planets aka super puffs to your list Chris! WASP-107b is the poster child - Neptune mass, Jupiter size)
