Article Synopsis
- Measuring the metallicity and carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio in exoplanet atmospheres helps to understand their chemical processes and formation history.
- The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) allows for advanced observations of exoplanets, notably WASP-39b, providing insights through time-series data with high precision in a new wavelength range.
- Findings include the detection of water vapor in the atmosphere with a high metallicity (1-100 times that of the Sun) and a low C/O ratio, suggesting the potential for significant solid material accretion during formation or chemical disequilibrium in the atmosphere.
The interiors of giant planets remain poorly understood. Even for the planets in the Solar System, difficulties in observation lead to large uncertainties in the properties of planetary cores. Exoplanets that have undergone rare evolutionary processes provide a route to understanding planetary interiors.

However, we know that there are important individual differences in such patterns of connectivity, with evidence that this variability is associated with alterations in important cognitive and behavioral variables that affect real world function. The HCP data will be a critical stepping-off point for future studies that will examine how variation in human structural and functional connectivity play a role in adult and pediatric neurological and psychiatric disorders that account for a huge amount of public health resources.
