Supervised Machine Learning for Intercomparison of Model Grids of Brown Dwarfs: Application to GJ 570D and the Epsilon Indi B Binary System

Maria Oreshenko, Daniel Kitzmann, Pablo Marquez-Neila +6

Self-consistent model grids of brown dwarfs involve complex physics and chemistry, and are often computed using proprietary computer codes, making it challenging to identify the re…

On Linking Planet Formation Models, Protoplanetary Disk Properties, and Mature Gas Giant Exoplanet Atmospheres

Adina D. Feinstein, Richard A. Booth, Jennifer B. Bergner +34

Measuring a single elemental ratio (e.g., carbon-to-oxygen) provides insufficient information for understanding the formation mechanisms and evolution that affect our observations…

HELIOS-Retrieval: An Open-source, Nested Sampling Atmospheric Retrieval Code, Application to the HR 8799 Exoplanets and Inferred Constraints for Planet Formation

Baptiste Lavie, João M. Mendonça, Christoph Mordasini +7

We present an open-source retrieval code named HELIOS-Retrieval (hereafter HELIOS-R), designed to obtain chemical abundances and temperature-pressure profiles from inverting the me…

Optical phase curves as diagnostics for aerosol composition in exoplanetary atmospheres

Maria Oreshenko, Kevin Heng, Brice-Olivier Demory

Optical phase curves have become one of the common probes of exoplanetary atmospheres, but the information they encode has not been fully elucidated. Building on a diverse body of…

Retrieval Analysis of the Emission Spectrum of WASP-12b: Sensitivity of Outcomes to Prior Assumptions and Implications for Formation History

Maria Oreshenko, Baptiste Lavie, Simon L. Grimm +9

We analyze the emission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-12b using our HELIOS-R retrieval code and HELIOS-K opacity calculator. When interpreting Hubble and Spitzer data, the retri…

Helios-r2 -- A new Bayesian, open-source retrieval model for brown dwarfs and exoplanet atmospheres

Daniel Kitzmann, Kevin Heng, Maria Oreshenko +5

We present an improved, hybrid CPU-GPU atmospheric retrieval code, Helios-r2, which is applicable to medium-resolution emission spectra of brown dwarfs, in preparation for precisio…
