Molecular Signatures in the Near Infrared Dayside Spectrum of HD 189733b

M. R. Swain, G. Vasisht, G. Tinetti +5

We have measured the dayside spectrum of HD 189733b between 1.5 and 2.5 microns using the NICMOS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. The emergent spectrum contains significan…

The spatial distribution of polar hydrogen deposits on the Moon

V. R. Eke, L. F. A. Teodoro, R. C. Elphic

A new analysis of the Lunar Prospector epithermal neutron data is presented, providing an improved map of the distribution of hydrogen near to the lunar poles. This is achieved usi…

Emergent Exoplanet Flux: Review of the Spitzer Results

Drake Deming

Observations using the Spitzer Space Telescope provided the first detections of photons from extrasolar planets. Spitzer observations are allowing us to infer the temperature struc…

Transits and secondary eclipses of HD 189733 with Spitzer

Eric Agol, Nicolas B. Cowan, James Bushong +4

We present limits on transit timing variations and secondary eclipse depth variations at 8 microns with the Spitzer Space Telescope IRAC camera. Due to the weak limb darkening in t…

A time-dependent radiative model for the atmosphere of the eccentric transiting planets

N. Iro, D. Deming

We present a time-dependent radiative model for the atmosphere of the transiting planets that take into account the eccentricity of their orbit. We investigate the temporal tempera…

Spitzer Transit and Secondary Eclipse Photometry of GJ 436b

Drake Deming, Joseph Harrington, Gregory Laughlin +4

We report the results of infrared (8 micron) transit and secondary eclipse photometry of the hot Neptune exoplanet, GJ436b using Spitzer. The nearly photon-limited precision of the…
