A Hubble PanCET Study of HAT-P-11b: A Cloudy Neptune with a Low Atmospheric Metallicity

Yayaati Chachan, Heather A. Knutson, Peter Gao +14

We present the first comprehensive look at the m transmission spectrum of the warm ( K) Neptune HAT-P-11b derived from thirteen individual transits observed u…

Exploring the atmospheric dynamics of the extreme ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-9b using TESS photometry

Ian Wong, Avi Shporer, Daniel Kitzmann +24

We carry out a phase-curve analysis of the KELT-9 system using photometric observations from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The measured secondary eclipse dep…

Evidence for H Dissociation and Recombination Heat Transport in the Atmosphere of KELT-9b

Megan Mansfield, Jacob L. Bean, Kevin B. Stevenson +19

Phase curve observations provide an opportunity to study the full energy budgets of exoplanets by quantifying the amount of heat redistributed from their daysides to their nightsid…

Identifying Candidate Atmospheres on Rocky M dwarf Planets via Eclipse Photometry

Daniel D. B. Koll, Matej Malik, Megan Mansfield +4

Most rocky planets in the galaxy orbit a cool host star, and there is large uncertainty among theoretical models whether these planets can retain an atmosphere. The James Webb Spac…

Identifying Atmospheres on Rocky Exoplanets Through Inferred High Albedo

Megan Mansfield, Edwin S. Kite, Renyu Hu +4

The upcoming launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) means that we will soon have the capability to characterize the atmospheres of rocky exoplanets. However, it is still u…

Analyzing Atmospheric Temperature Profiles and Spectra of M dwarf Rocky Planets

Matej Malik, Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Daniel D. B. Koll +3

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will open up the possibility of comprehensively measuring the emission spectra of rocky exoplanets orbiting M dwarfs to detect and characteriz…

A Statistical Comparative Planetology Approach to Maximize the Scientific Return of Future Exoplanet Characterization Efforts

Jade H. Checlair, Dorian S. Abbot, Robert J. Webber +37

Provided that sufficient resources are deployed, we can look forward to an extraordinary future in which we will characterize potentially habitable planets. Until now, we have had…
