ACCESS, LRG-BEASTS, & MOPSS: Featureless Optical Transmission Spectra of WASP-25b and WASP-124b
Chima D. McGruder, Mercedes López-Morales, James Kirk +14
We present new optical transmission spectra for two hot Jupiters: WASP-25b (M = 0.56~M; R = 1.23 R; P =~3.76 days) and WASP-124b (M = 0.58~M; R = 1.34 R; P = 3.37 d…
The Similar Seven: A set of very-alike exoplanets to test correlations between system parameters and atmospheric properties
Chima D. McGruder, Mercedes López-Morales, Rafael Brahm +1
Studies of exoplanetary atmospheres have found no definite correlations between observed high altitude aerosols and other system parameters. This could be, in part, because of the…
ACCESS: Tentative detection of HO in the ground-based optical transmission spectrum of the low-density hot Saturn HATS-5b
Natalie H. Allen, Néstor Espinoza, Andrés Jordán +13
We present a precise ground-based optical transmission spectrum of the hot-Saturn HATS-5b ( K), obtained as part of the ACCESS survey with the IMACS multi-object spec…
ACCESS: Confirmation of a Clear Atmosphere for WASP-96b and a Comparison of Light Curve Detrending Techniques
Chima D. McGruder, Mercedes López-Morales, James Kirk +11
One of the strongest features was observed in WASP-96b. To confirm this novel detection, we provide a new 475-825nm transmission spectrum obtained with Magellan/IMACS,…
ACCESS & LRG-BEASTS: a precise new optical transmission spectrum of the ultrahot Jupiter WASP-103b
James Kirk, Ben Rackham, Ryan MacDonald +17
We present a new ground-based optical transmission spectrum of the ultrahot Jupiter WASP-103b (K). Our transmission spectrum is the result of combining five new tran…
ACCESS: An optical transmission spectrum of the high-gravity, hot Jupiter HAT-P-23b
Ian C. Weaver, Mercedes López-Morales, Munazza K. Alam +11
We present a new ground-based visible transmission spectrum of the high-gravity, hot Jupiter HAT-P-23b, obtained as part of the ACCESS project. We derive the spectrum from five tra…
ACCESS: Confirmation of no potassium in the atmosphere of WASP-31b
Chima D. McGruder, Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Nestor Espinoza +12
We present a new optical (400-950nm) transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-31b (M=0.48 MJ; R= 1.54 RJ; P=3.41 days), obtained by combining four transits observations. These…
LRG-BEASTS: Ground-based Detection of Sodium and a Steep Optical Slope in the Atmosphere of the Highly Inflated Hot-Saturn WASP-21b
L. Alderson, J. Kirk, M. López-Morales +7
We present the optical transmission spectrum of the highly inflated Saturn-mass exoplanet WASP-21b, using three transits obtained with the ACAM instrument on the William Herschel T…
ACCESS: A Visual to Near-infrared Spectrum of the Hot Jupiter WASP-43b with Evidence of , but no evidence of Na or K
Ian C. Weaver, Mercedes López-Morales, Néstor Espinoza +11
We present a new ground-based visual transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-43b, obtained as part of the ACCESS Survey. The spectrum was derived from four transits observed…
ACCESS: Ground-based Optical Transmission Spectroscopy of the Hot Jupiter WASP-4b
Alex Bixel, Benjamin V. Rackham, Dániel Apai +6
We present an optical transmission spectrum of the atmosphere of WASP-4b obtained through observations of four transits with Magellan/IMACS. Using a Bayesian approach to atmospheri…
ACCESS: A featureless optical transmission spectrum for WASP-19b from Magellan/IMACS
Néstor Espinoza, Benjamin V. \ Rackham, Andrés Jordán +13
The short period (-day) transiting exoplanet WASP-19b is an exceptional target for transmission spectroscopy studies, due to its relatively large atmospheric scale-height ($\…
Observing Outer Planet Satellites (except Titan) with JWST: Science Justification and Observational Requirements
Laszlo Keszthelyi, Will Grundy, John Stansberry +6
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will allow observations with a unique combination of spectral, spatial, and temporal resolution for the study of outer planet satellites withi…
