Two NIRCam channels are Better than One: How JWST Can Do More Science with NIRCam's Short-Wavelength Dispersed Hartmann Sensor
Everett Schlawin, Marcia Rieke, Jarron Leisenring +8
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) offers unprecedented sensitivity, stability, and wavelength coverage for transiting exoplanet studies, opening up new avenues for measuring at…
Transiting Exoplanet Studies and Community Targets for JWST's Early Release Science Program
Kevin B. Stevenson, Nikole K. Lewis, Jacob L. Bean +49
The James Webb Space Telescope will revolutionize transiting exoplanet atmospheric science due to its capability for continuous, long-duration observations and its larger collectin…
Random Forests applied to High Precision Photometry Analysis with Spitzer IRAC
Jessica Krick, Jonathan Fraine, Jim Ingalls +1
We present a new method employing machine learning techniques for measuring astrophysical features by correcting systematics in IRAC high precision photometry using Random Forests.…
Back to "Normal" for the Disintegrating Planet Candidate KIC 12557548 b
Everett Schlawin, Teruyuki Hirano, Hajime Kawahara +5
KIC 12557548 b is first of a growing class of intriguing disintegrating planet candidates, which lose mass in the form of a metal rich vapor that condenses into dust particles. Her…
Spitzer Secondary Eclipses of the Dense, Modestly-irradiated, Giant Exoplanet HAT-P-20b Using Pixel-Level Decorrelation
Drake Deming, Heather Knutson, Joshua Kammer +13
HAT-P-20b is a giant exoplanet that orbits a metal-rich star. The planet itself has a high total density, suggesting that it may also have a high metallicity in its atmosphere. We…
The need for a far-infrared cold space telescope to understand the chemistry of planet formation
Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Edwin A. Bergin, Gary Melnick +14
At a time when ALMA produces spectacular high resolution images of gas and dust in circumstellar disks, the next observational frontier in our understanding of planet formation and…
