Retrieving Exoplanet Atmospheres using Planetary Infrared Excess: Prospects for the Nightside of WASP-43 b and other Hot Jupiters
Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, Kevin B. Stevenson, L. C. Mayorga +4
To increase the sample size of future atmospheric characterization efforts, we build on the planetary infrared excess (PIE) technique that has been proposed as a means to detect an…
On the Utility of Transmission Color Analysis I: Differentiating Super-Earths and Sub-Neptunes
Kristin S. Sotzen, Kevin B. Stevenson, Erin M. May +9
The majority of exoplanets found to date have been discovered via the transit method, and transmission spectroscopy represents the primary method of studying these distant worlds.…
Spitzer phase curve observations and circulation models of the inflated ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-76b
Erin M. May, Thaddeus D. Komacek, Kevin B. Stevenson +15
The large radii of many hot Jupiters can only be matched by models that have hot interior adiabats, and recent theoretical work has shown that the interior evolution of hot Jupiter…
Transmission Spectroscopy of the Earth-Sun System to Inform the Search for Extrasolar Life
L. C. Mayorga, J. Lustig-Yaeger, E. M. May +7
Upcoming NASA astrophysics missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope will search for signs of life on planets transiting nearby stars. Doing so will require co-adding dozens…
Variable Irradiation on 1D Cloudless Eccentric Exoplanet Atmospheres
L. C. Mayorga, Tyler D. Robinson, Mark S. Marley +2
Exoplanets on eccentric orbits experience an incident stellar flux that can be markedly larger at periastron versus apoastron. This variation in instellation can lead to dramatic c…
Detection of Rotational Variability in Floofy Objects at Optical Wavelengths
L. C. Mayorga, E. M. May, J. Lustig-Yaeger +1
Phase resolved observations of planetary bodies allow us to understand the longitudinal and latitudinal variations that make each one unique. Rotational variations have been detect…
