WASP-121 b’s Transmission Spectrum Observed with JWST/NIRSpec G395H Reveals Thermal Dissociation and SiO in the Atmosphere

WASP-121 b has been established as a benchmark ultrahot Jupiter, serving as a laboratory for the atmospheric chemistry and dynamics of strongly irradiated extrasolar gas giants. Here, we present and analyze WASP-121 b's transmission spectrum observed with NIRSpec G395H on board the James Webb S...
