Detection of Helium in the Atmosphere of the Exo-Neptune HAT-P-11b
Megan Mansfield, Jacob L. Bean, Antonija Oklopčić +11
The helium absorption triplet at a wavelength of 10,833 Å has been proposed as a way to probe the escaping atmospheres of exoplanets. Recently this feature was detected for the fir…
A Framework for Prioritizing the TESS Planetary Candidates Most Amenable to Atmospheric Characterization
Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Jacob L. Bean, Dana R. Louie +40
A key legacy of the recently launched TESS mission will be to provide the astronomical community with many of the best transiting exoplanet targets for atmospheric characterization…
A HST/WFC3 Thermal Emission Spectrum of the Hot Jupiter HAT-P-7b
Megan Mansfield, Jacob L. Bean, Michael R. Line +7
Secondary eclipse observations of several of the hottest hot Jupiters show featureless, blackbody-like spectra or molecular emission features, which are consistent with thermal inv…
From thermal dissociation to condensation in the atmospheres of ultra hot Jupiters: WASP-121b in context
Vivien Parmentier, Mike R. Line, Jacob L. Bean +10
A new class of exoplanets has emerged: the ultra hot Jupiters, the hottest close-in gas giants. Most of them have weaker than expected spectral features in the bandpass…
The Transiting Exoplanet Community Early Release Science Program for JWST
Jacob L. Bean, Kevin B. Stevenson, Natalie M. Batalha +99
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) presents the opportunity to transform our understanding of planets and the origins of life by revealing the atmospheric compositions, structur…
Effect of Mars Atmospheric Loss on Snow Melt Potential in a 3.5-Gyr Mars Climate Evolution Model
Megan Mansfield, Edwin S. Kite, Michael A. Mischna
Post-Noachian Martian paleochannels indicate the existence of liquid water on the surface of Mars after about 3.5 Gya (Irwin et al., 2015; Palucis et al., 2016). In order to explor…
H- Opacity and Water Dissociation in the Dayside Atmosphere of the Very Hot Gas Giant WASP-18 b
Jacob Arcangeli, Jean-Michel Desert, Michael R. Line +7
We present one of the most precise emission spectra of an exoplanet observed so far. We combine five secondary eclipses of the hot Jupiter WASP-18 b (Tday=2900K) that we secured be…
