    Probing reflection from aerosols with the near-infrared dayside spectrum of WASP-80b

    The presence of aerosols is intimately linked to the global energy budget and the composition of a planet's atmospheres. Their ability to reflect incoming light prevents energy from being deposited into the atmosphere, and they shape spectra of exoplanets. We observed five near-infrared secondary eclipses of WASP-80b with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) aboard the \textit{Hubble Space Telescope} to provide constraints on the presence and properties of atmospheric aerosols. We detect a broadband eclipse depth of 34±1034\pm10\,ppm for WASP-80b. We detect a higher planetary flux than expected from thermal emission alone at 1.6σ1.6\sigma, which hints toward the presence of reflecting aerosols on this planet's dayside, indicating a geometric albedo of Ag<0.33A_g<0.33 at 3σ\sigma. We paired the WFC3 data with Spitzer data and explored multiple atmospheric models with and without aerosols to interpret this spectrum. Albeit consistent with a clear dayside atmosphere, we found a slight preference for near-solar metallicities and for dayside clouds over hazes. We exclude soot haze formation rates higher than 1010.710^{-10.7} g cm2^{-2}s1^{-1} and tholin formation rates higher than 1012.010^{-12.0} g cm2^{-2}s1^{-1} at 3σ3\sigma. We applied the same atmospheric models to a previously published WFC3/Spitzer transmission spectrum for this planet and found weak haze formation. A single soot haze formation rate best fits both the dayside and the transmission spectra simultaneously. However, we emphasize that no models provide satisfactory fits in terms of the chi-square of both spectra simultaneously, indicating longitudinal dissimilarity in the atmosphere's aerosol composition.Comment: Published in ApJ Letters (20 Oct 2023

    Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a classical autoimmune liver disease for which effective immunomodulatory therapy is lacking. Here we perform meta-analyses of discovery data sets from genome-wide association studies of European subjects (n=2,764 cases and 10,475 controls) followed by validation genotyping in an independent cohort (n=3,716 cases and 4,261 controls). We discover and validate six previously unknown risk loci for PBC (Pcombined<5 × 10(-8)) and used pathway analysis to identify JAK-STAT/IL12/IL27 signalling and cytokine-cytokine pathways, for which relevant therapies exist
