Future space-based telescopes, such as the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), will observe the reflected-light spectra of directly imaged extrasolar planets. Interpreta…
ACCESS I: An Optical Transmission Spectrum of GJ 1214b Reveals a Heterogeneous Stellar Photosphere
Benjamin Rackham, Néstor Espinoza, Dániel Apai +8
GJ 1214b is the most studied sub-Neptune exoplanet to date. Recent measurements have shown its near-infrared transmission spectrum to be flat, pointing to a high-altitude opacity s…
Near-Infrared Emission Spectrum of WASP-103b using Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Camera 3
Kimberly M. S. Cartier, Thomas G. Beatty, Ming Zhao +8
We present here our observations and analysis of the dayside emission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-103b. We observed WASP-103b during secondary eclipse using two visits of the…
Metal enrichment leads to low atmospheric C/O ratios in transiting giant exoplanets
Néstor Espinoza, Jonathan Fortney, Yamila Miguel +2
We predict the carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratios in the hydrogen-helium envelope and atmospheres of a sample of nearly 50 relatively cool ( 1000 K) transiting gas gian…
Planetesimal clearing and size-dependent asteroid retention by secular resonance sweeping during the depletion of the solar nebula
Xiaochen Zheng, Douglas N. C. Lin, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven
The distribution of heavy elements is anomalously low in the asteroid main belt region compared with elsewhere in the solar system. Observational surveys also indicate a deficit in…
Forward and Inverse Modeling of the Emission and Transmission Spectrum of GJ 436b: Investigating Metal Enrichment, Tidal Heating, and Clouds
Caroline V. Morley, Heather Knutson, Michael Line +5
The Neptune-mass GJ 436b is one of the most-studied transiting exoplanets with repeated measurements of both its thermal emission and transmission spectra. We build on previous stu…
Spitzer Observations Confirm and Rescue the Habitable-Zone Super-Earth K2-18b for Future Characterization
Björn Benneke, Michael Werner, Erik Petigura +13
The recent detections of two transit events attributed to the super-Earth candidate K2-18b have provided the unprecedented prospect of spectroscopically studying a habitable-zone p…
High temperature condensate clouds in super-hot Jupiter atmospheres
Hannah R. Wakeford, Channon Visscher, Nikole K. Lewis +4
Deciphering the role of clouds is central to our understanding of exoplanet atmospheres, as they have a direct impact on the temperature and pressure structure, and observational p…
VLT FORS2 comparative transmission spectroscopy: Detection of Na in the atmosphere of WASP-39b from the ground
Nikolay Nikolov, David K. Sing, Neale P. Gibson +5
We present transmission spectroscopy of the warm Saturn-mass exoplanet WASP-39b made with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) FOcal Reducer and Spectrograph (FORS2) across the wavelengt…
Bayesian Evolution Models for Jupiter with Helium Rain and Double-diffusive Convection
Christopher Mankovich, Jonathan J. Fortney, Kevin L. Moore
Hydrogen and helium demix when sufficiently cool, and this bears on the evolution of all giant planets at large separations at or below roughly a Jupiter mass. We model the thermal…
Imaging protoplanets: observing transition disks with non-redundant masking
Steph Sallum, Josh Eisner, Laird M. Close +17
Transition disks, protoplanetary disks with inner clearings, are promising objects in which to directly image forming planets. The high contrast imaging technique of non-redundant…
Detection of the secondary eclipse of Qatar-1b in the Ks band
Patricia Cruz, David Barrado, Jorge Lillo-Box +4
Qatar-1b is a close-orbiting hot Jupiter ( , ) around a metal-rich K-dwarf, with orbital separation and period of 0.023 AU and 1.42 days.…
On the Composition of Young, Directly Imaged Giant Planets
J. I. Moses, M. S. Marley, K. Zahnle +6
The past decade has seen significant progress on the direct detection and characterization of young, self-luminous giant planets at wide orbital separations from their host stars.…
