KRONOS II: Solar-like Umbra and Penumbra Properties on the Young Sun V1298~Tau

Matthew M. Murphy, Adina D. Feinstein, Meir E. Schochet +14

Transiting exoplanets provide a unique laboratory for studying stellar surface heterogeneities via starspot or facular occultations. When observed at multiple wavelengths, this con…

PEPSI Investigation, Retrieval, and Atlas of Numerous Giant Atmospheres (PIRANGA). IV. High-Resolution Phased-Resolved Spectroscopy of The Ultra Hot Jupiter KELT-20 b

Victoria Bonidie, Marshall C. Johnson, Ji Wang +7

We present five datasets of high-resolution optical emission spectra of the ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-20 b with the PEPSI spectrograph. Using a Bayesian retrieval framework, we constr…

The Unhurried Universe: A Continued Search for Long Term Variability in ASAS-SN

Sydney Petz, C. S. Kochanek, K. Z. Stanek +4

We search a sample of 5,685,060 isolated sources in the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) with 14.5<g<15 mag for slowly varying sources with brightness changes larg…

PEPSI Investigation, Retrieval, and Atlas of Numerous Giant Atmospheres (PIRANGA). I. The Ubiquity of Fe I Emission and Inversions in Ultra Hot Jupiter Atmospheres

Sydney Petz, Marshall C. Johnson, Anusha Pai Asnodkar +4

We present high-resolution optical emission spectroscopy observations of the ultra hot Jupiters (UHJs) TOI-1431 b and TOI-1518 b using the PEPSI spectrograph on the LBT. We detect…

The PEPSI Exoplanet Transit Survey (PETS) IV: Assessing the atmospheric chemistry of KELT-20b

Sydney Petz, Marshall C. Johnson, Anusha Pai Asnodkar +11

Most ultra hot Jupiters (UHJs) show evidence of temperature inversions, in which temperature increases with altitude over a range of pressures. Temperature inversions can occur whe…

KRONOS I: The m JWST Transmission Spectrum of the 23 Myr V1298 Tau c

Matthew M. Murphy, Matthew C. Nixon, Adina D. Feinstein +16

While recent JWST observations of mature super-Earths and sub-Neptunes have frequently revealed featureless transmission spectra, their inflated progenitors offer a unique window i…
