Twinkle -- a small satellite spectroscopy mission for the next phase of exoplanet science
Ian Stotesbury, Billy Edwards, Jean-Francois Lavigne +35
With a focus on off-the-shelf components, Twinkle is the first in a series of cost competitive small satellites managed and financed by Blue Skies Space Ltd. The satellite is based…
The DRAKE mission: finding the frequency of life in the Cosmos
Subhajit Sarkar
In the search for life in the Universe, exoplanets represent numerous natural experiments in planet formation, evolution, and the emergence of life. This raises the fascinating pro…
JexoSim 2.0: End-to-End JWST Simulator for Exoplanet Spectroscopy -- Implementation and Case Studies
Subhajit Sarkar, Nikku Madhusudhan
The recently developed JWST Exoplanet Observation Simulator (JexoSim) simulates transit spectroscopic observations of exoplanets by JWST with each of its four instruments using a t…
Ariel: Enabling planetary science across light-years
Giovanna Tinetti, Paul Eccleston, Carole Haswell +313
Ariel, the Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey, was adopted as the fourth medium-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme to be launched in 2029. Durin…
Lessons Learned from the 1st ARIEL Machine Learning Challenge: Correcting Transiting Exoplanet Light Curves for Stellar Spots
Nikolaos Nikolaou, Ingo P. Waldmann, Angelos Tsiaras +20
The last decade has witnessed a rapid growth of the field of exoplanet discovery and characterisation. However, several big challenges remain, many of which could be addressed usin…
ExoSim: the Exoplanet Observation Simulator
Subhajit Sarkar, Enzo Pascale, Andreas Papageorgiou +2
A new generation of exoplanet research beckons and with it the need for simulation tools that accurately predict signal and noise in transit spectroscopy observations. We developed…
JexoSim: A time domain simulator of exoplanet transit spectroscopy with JWST
Subhajit Sarkar, Nikku Madhusudhan, Andreas Papageorgiou
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will perform exoplanet transit spectroscopy in the coming decade promising transformative science results. All four instruments on board can b…
An Updated Study of Potential Targets for Ariel
Billy Edwards, Lorenzo Mugnai, Giovanna Tinetti +2
Ariel has been selected as ESA's M4 mission for launch in 2028 and is designed for the characterisation of a large and diverse population of exoplanetary atmospheres to provide ins…
Observing exoplanets in the near-infrared from a high altitude balloon platform
Peter C. Nagler, Billy Edwards, Brian Kilpatrick +8
Although there exists a large sample of known exoplanets, little spectroscopic data exists that can be used to study their global atmospheric properties. This deficiency can be add…
Stellar pulsation and granulation as noise sources in exoplanet transit spectroscopy in the ARIEL space mission
Subhajit Sarkar, Ioannis Argyriou, Bart Vandenbussche +2
Stellar variability from pulsations and granulation presents a source of correlated noise that can impact the accuracy and precision of multi-band photometric transit observations…
