JWST/NIRCam 4–5 μm Imaging of the Giant Planet AF Lep b

With a dynamical mass of 3 M _Jup , the recently discovered giant planet AF Lep b is the lowest-mass imaged planet with a direct mass measurement. Its youth and spectral type near the L/T transition make it a promising target to study the impact of clouds and atmospheric chemistry at low surface gra...
