A JWST Transiting Survey of FGK Stellar Limb Darkening: Empirical Evidence for Quadratic Laws and Atmospheric Model Comparisons
We present a study of stellar limb darkening using JWST transit observations of seven exoplanets orbiting FGK host stars, spanning 4200–6800 K. The wide wavelength coverage and high S/N of NIRISS/SOSS and NIRSpec/PRISM enable precise constraints on the wavelength-dependent limb darkening. Using Bayesian model selection...
