The 9.7 and 18 um silicate absorption profiles towards diffuse and molecular cloud lines-of-sight

J. M. van Breemen, M. Min, J. E. Chiar +8

Studying the composition of dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) is crucial in understanding the cycle of dust in our galaxy. The mid-infrared spectral signature of amorphous sili…

Transmission Spectra of Transiting Planet Atmospheres: Model Validation and Simulations of the Hot Neptune GJ 436b for JWST

Megan Shabram, Jonathan J. Fortney, Thomas P. Greene +1

We explore the transmission spectrum of the Neptune-class exoplanet GJ 436b, including the possibility that its atmospheric opacity is dominated by a variety of non- equilibrium ch…

Distribution of Water Vapor in Molecular Clouds

Gary J. Melnick, Volker Tolls, Ronald L. Snell +5

We report the results of a large-area study of water vapor along the Orion Molecular Cloud ridge, the purpose of which was to determine the depth-dependent distribution of gas-phas…
