Article Synopsis
- Transmission spectroscopy has been an essential method for studying exoplanet atmospheres, but recent studies question the assumption that the atmosphere is uniform, particularly for heated gas giants like WASP-39 b.
- Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers detected differences in the morning and evening transmission spectra of WASP-39 b, finding that the evening spectra had significantly larger transit depths compared to the morning ones.
- The findings suggest that the evening terminator is hotter and possibly clearer than the morning terminator, leading to implications about atmospheric circulation and cloud formation on the exoplanet.
