JWST-TST DREAMS: A Precise Water Abundance for Hot Jupiter WASP-17b from the NIRISS SOSS Transmission Spectrum by Dana R. Louie, Elijah Mullens, Lili Alderson, Ana Glidden, Nikole K. Lewis, Hannah R. Wakeford, Natasha E. Batalha, Knicole D. Colón, Amélie Gressier, Douglas Long, Michael Radica, Néstor Espinoza, Jayesh Goyal, Ryan J. MacDonald, Erin M. May, Sara Seager, Kevin B. Stevenson, Jeff A. Valenti, Natalie H. Allen, Caleb I. Cañas, Ryan C. Challener, David Grant, Jingcheng Huang, Zifan Lin, Daniel Valentine, Mark Clampin, Marshall Perrin, Laurent Pueyo, Roeland P. van der Marel, C. Matt Mountain

“…However, previous analyses of WASP-17b’s atmosphere based upon Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Spitzer data could not constrain the water abundance, finding that subsolar, supersolar, and bimodal posterior distributions were all statistically valid. …”

Investigating the Electron-capture Supernova Candidate AT 2019abn with JWST Spectroscopy by Sam Rose, Ryan M. Lau, Jacob E. Jencson, Mansi M. Kasliwal, Kishalay De, Michael E. Ressler, Ori D. Fox, Matthew J. Hankins

“…Similar to the prototypical examples of this class of objects, NGC 300 2008-OT and SN 2008S, AT 2019abn has an extremely red and dusty progenitor detected only in pre-explosion Spitzer/IRAC imaging at 3.6 and 4.5 μ m and not in deep optical or near-infrared Hubble Space Telescope images. …”

Star Formation Law at Sub-kpc Scale in the Elliptical Galaxy Centaurus A as Seen by ALMA by Jazeel H. Azeez, Zamri Z. Abidin, C.-Y. Hwang, Zainol A. Ibrahim

“…We present an extensive analysis of the relationship between star formation rate surface density (∑SFR) and molecular gas surface density (∑H2) at sub-kpc scale in the elliptical galaxy Centaurus A (also known as NGC 5128) at the distance 3.8 Mpc. 12CO (J = 2-1) data from Atacama Large Millimetre/Sub-Millimetre Array SV data with very high resolution (2.9′′, 0.84′′), as well as 24 μm data from the Spitzer Space Telescope, were used. This is one of the first studies of the SF law on Centaurus A at this very high spatial resolution. …”
