A Search for Water in the Atmosphere of HAT-P-26b Using LDSS-3C
Kevin B. Stevenson, Jacob L. Bean, Andreas Seifahrt +4
The characterization of a physically-diverse set of transiting exoplanets is an important and necessary step towards establishing the physical properties linked to the production o…
Neptune's Dynamic Atmosphere from Kepler K2 Observations: Implications for Brown Dwarf Light Curve Analyses
Amy A. Simon, Jason F. Rowe, Patrick Gaulme +9
Observations of Neptune with the Kepler Space Telescope yield a 49-day light curve with 98% coverage at a 1-minute cadence. A significant signature in the light curve comes from di…
A continuum from clear to cloudy hot-Jupiter exoplanets without primordial water depletion
David K. Sing, Jonathan J. Fortney, Nikolay Nikolov +18
Thousands of transiting exoplanets have been discovered, but spectral analysis of their atmospheres has so far been dominated by a small number of exoplanets and data spanning rela…
A Multiple Scattering Polarized Radiative Transfer Model: Application to HD 189733b
Pushkar Kopparla, Vijay Natraj, Xi Zhang +3
We present a multiple scattering vector radiative transfer model which produces disk integrated, full phase polarized light curves for reflected light from an exoplanetary atmosphe…
3.6 and 4.5 m Phase Curves of the Highly-Irradiated Hot Jupiters WASP-19b and HAT-P-7b
Ian Wong, Heather A. Knutson, Tiffany Kataria +15
We analyze full-orbit phase curve observations of the transiting hot Jupiters WASP-19b and HAT-P-7b at 3.6 and 4.5 m obtained using the Spitzer Space Telescope. For WASP-19b, we…
Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler. VII. The First Fully Uniform Catalog Based on The Entire 48 Month Dataset (Q1-Q17 DR24)
Jeffrey L. Coughlin, F. Mullally, Susan E. Thompson +32
We present the seventh Kepler planet candidate catalog, which is the first to be based on the entire, uniformly processed, 48 month Kepler dataset. This is the first fully automate…
The Lick-Carnegie Exoplanet Survey: HD32963 -- A New Jupiter Analog Orbiting a Sun-like Star
Dominick Rowan, Stefano Meschiari, Gregory Laughlin +10
We present a set of 109 new, high-precision Keck/HIRES radial velocity (RV) observations for the solar-type star HD 32963. Our dataset reveals a candidate planetary signal with a p…
A Characteristic Transmission Spectrum dominated by HO applies to the majority of HST/WFC3 exoplanet observations
Aishwarya R. Iyer, Mark R. Swain, Robert T. Zellem +4
Currently, 19 transiting exoplanets have published transmission spectra obtained with the Hubble/WFC3 G141 near-IR grism. Using this sample, we have undertaken a uniform analysis i…
The LEECH Exoplanet Imaging Survey: Characterization of the Coldest Directly Imaged Exoplanet, GJ 504 b, and Evidence for Super-Stellar Metallicity
Andrew J. Skemer, Caroline V. Morley, Neil T. Zimmerman +39
As gas giant planets and brown dwarfs radiate away the residual heat from their formation, they cool through a spectral type transition from L to T, which encompasses the dissipati…
First Scattered-Light Image of the Debris Disk around HD 131835 with the Gemini Planet Imager
Li-Wei Hung, Gaspard Duchêne, Pauline Arriaga +34
We present the first scattered-light image of the debris disk around HD 131835 in band using the Gemini Planet Imager. HD 131835 is a 15 Myr old A2IV star at a distance o…
Characterizing transiting exoplanet atmospheres with JWST
Thomas P. Greene, Michael R. Line, Cezar Montero +3
We explore how well James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) spectra will likely constrain bulk atmospheric properties of transiting exoplanets. We start by modeling the atmospheres of ar…
Completely Colorblind: Advances in Gray Techniques and Applications to Planets Near and Far
Tyler D. Robinson
Gray models, which replace spectrally-resolved opacities with a wavelength independent mean opacity, are currently seeing wide and diverse application. In this brief review, we dis…
Magellan Adaptive Optics first-light observations of the exoplanet beta Pic b. II. 3-5 micron direct imaging with MagAO+Clio, and the empirical bolometric luminosity of a self-luminous giant planet
Katie M. Morzinski, Jared R. Males, Andy J. Skemer +14
Young giant exoplanets are a unique laboratory for understanding cool, low-gravity atmospheres. A quintessential example is the massive extrasolar planet Pic b, which is 9 AU f…
Thermal Emission and Albedo Spectra of Super Earths with Flat Transmission Spectra
Caroline V. Morley, Jonathan J. Fortney, Mark S. Marley +5
Planets larger than Earth and smaller than Neptune are some of the most numerous in the galaxy, but observational efforts to understand this population have proved challenging beca…
The Influence of Non-Uniform Cloud Cover on Transit Transmission Spectra
Michael R. Line, Vivien Parmentier
We model the impact of non-uniform cloud cover on transit transmission spectra. Patchy clouds exist in nearly every solar system atmosphere, brown dwarfs, and transiting exoplanets…
In Situ Formation and Dynamical Evolution of Hot Jupiter Systems
Konstantin Batygin, Peter H. Bodenheimer, Gregory P. Laughlin
Hot Jupiters, giant extrasolar planets with orbital periods shorter than ~10 days, have long been thought to form at large radial distances, only to subsequently experience long-ra…
The Mass-Metallicity Relation for Giant Planets
Daniel P. Thorngren, Jonathan J. Fortney, Ruth A. Murray-Clay +1
Exoplanet discoveries of recent years have provided a great deal of new data for studying the bulk compositions of giant planets. Here we identify 47 transiting giant planets ($20…
Reflected Light Curves, Spherical and Bond Albedos of Jupiter- and Saturn-like Exoplanets
Ulyana Dyudina, Xi Zhang, Liming Li +5
Reflected light curves observed for exoplanets indicate bright clouds at some of them. We estimate how the light curve and total stellar heating of a planet depend on forward and b…
