Transmission Spectroscopy of the Habitable Zone Exoplanet LHS 1140 b with JWST/NIRISS

LHS 1140 b is the second-closest temperate transiting planet to Earth with an equilibrium temperature low enough to support surface liquid water. At 1.730 ± 0.025 R _⊕ , LHS 1140 b falls within the radius valley separating H _2 -rich mini-Neptunes from rocky super-Earths. Recent mass and radius revi...
