A roadmap for the atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets with JWST

TRAPPIST-1 JWST Community Initiative, :, Julien de Wit +80

Ultra-cool dwarf stars are abundant, long-lived, and uniquely suited to enable the atmospheric study of transiting terrestrial companions with JWST. Amongst them, the most prominen…
