The Hubble PanCET Program: A Metal-rich Atmosphere for the Inflated Hot Jupiter HAT-P-41b

Kyle B. Sheppard, Luis Welbanks, Avi Mandell +14

We present a comprehensive analysis of the 0.3--5\,m transit spectrum for the inflated hot Jupiter HAT-P-41b. The planet was observed in transit with Hubble STIS and WFC3 as par…

Detection of Na in WASP-21b's lower and upper atmosphere

G. Chen, N. Casasayas-Barris, E. Palle +4

Optical transmission spectroscopy provides crucial constraints on the reference pressure levels and scattering properties for hot Jupiter atmospheres. For certain planets, where al…

Neutral Cr and V in the atmosphere of ultra hot jupiter WASP-121 b

Maya Ben-Yami, Nikku Madhusudhan, Samuel H. C. Cabot +4

Ultra hot jupiters (UHJs), giant exoplanets with equilibrium temperatures above 2000 K, are ideal laboratories for studying metal compositions of planetary atmospheres. At these te…

Assessing Spectra and Thermal Inversions due to TiO in Hot Jupiter Atmospheres

Anjali A. A. Piette, Nikku Madhusudhan, Laura K. McKemmish +3

Recent detections of thermal inversions in the dayside atmospheres of some hot Jupiters are motivating new avenues to understand the interplay between their temperature structures…

An Unusual Transmission Spectrum for the Sub-Saturn KELT-11b Suggestive of a Sub-Solar Water Abundance

Knicole D. Colón, Laura Kreidberg, Luis Welbanks +30

We present an optical-to-infrared transmission spectrum of the inflated sub-Saturn KELT-11b measured with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), the Hubble Space Telesco…

The interior and atmosphere of the habitable-zone exoplanet K2-18b

Nikku Madhusudhan, Matthew C. Nixon, Luis Welbanks +2

Exoplanets orbiting M dwarfs present a valuable opportunity for their detection and atmospheric characterisation. This is evident from recent inferences of HO in such atmospher…
