Constraining Hot Jupiter Atmospheric Structure and Dynamics through Doppler Shifted Emission Spectra
Jisheng Zhang, Eliza Kempton, Emily Rauscher
We present a coupled 3-D atmospheric dynamics and radiative transfer model to predict the disk-integrated thermal emission spectra of transiting exoplanets in edge-on orbits. We ca…
A Statistical Comparative Planetology Approach to the Hunt for Habitable Exoplanets and Life Beyond the Solar System
Jacob L. Bean, Dorian S. Abbot, Eliza M. -R. Kempton
The search for habitable exoplanets and life beyond the Solar System is one of the most compelling scientific opportunities of our time. Nevertheless, the high cost of building fac…
An Observational Diagnostic for Distinguishing Between Clouds and Haze in Hot Exoplanet Atmospheres
Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Jacob L. Bean, Vivien Parmentier
The nature of aerosols in hot exoplanet atmospheres is one of the primary vexing questions facing the exoplanet field. The complex chemistry, multiple formation pathways, and lack…
Quantifying the Impact of Spectral Coverage on the Retrieval of Molecular Abundances from Exoplanet Transmission Spectra
John W. Chapman, Robert T. Zellem, Michael R. Line +14
Using forward models for representative exoplanet atmospheres and a radiometric instrument model, we have generated synthetic observational data to explore how well the major C- an…
KELT-18b: Puffy Planet, Hot Host, Probably Perturbed
Kim K. McLeod, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Ryan J. Oelkers +53
We report the discovery of KELT-18b, a transiting hot Jupiter in a 2.87d orbit around the bright (V=10.1), hot, F4V star BD+60 1538 (TYC 3865-1173-1). We present follow-up photomet…
Challenges to Constraining Exoplanet Masses via Transmission Spectroscopy
Natasha E. Batalha, Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Rostom Mbarek
MassSpec, a method for determining the mass of a transiting exoplanet from its transmission spectrum alone, was proposed by \citet{dew13}. The premise of this method relies on the…
