High-Resolution spectral models of TRAPPIST-1e seen as a Pale Blue Dot for ELT and JWST observations
Zifan Lin, Lisa Kaltenegger
Rocky exoplanets orbiting in the habitable zone (HZ) of nearby M dwarfs provide unique opportunities for characterizing their atmospheres and searching for biosignature gases. TRAP…
H-dominated Atmosphere as an Indicator of Second-generation Rocky White Dwarf Exoplanets
Zifan Lin, Sara Seager, Sukrit Ranjan +2
Following the discovery of the first exoplanet candidate transiting a white dwarf (WD), a "white dwarf opportunity" for characterizing the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets aro…
Differentiating Modern and Prebiotic Earth Scenarios for TRAPPIST-1e: High-resolution Transmission Spectra and Predictions for JWST
Zifan Lin, Ryan J. MacDonald, Lisa Kaltenegger +1
The TRAPPIST-1 system is a priority target for terrestrial exoplanet characterization. TRAPPIST-1e, residing in the habitable zone, will be observed during the JWST GTO Program. He…
Finding Signs of Life in Transit: High-resolution Transmission Spectra of Earth-like Planets around FGKM Host Stars
Lisa Kaltenegger, Zifan Lin
Thousands of transiting exoplanets have already been detected orbiting a wide range of host stars, including the first planets that could potentially be similar to Earth. The upcom…
Finding Signs of Life on Earth-like Planets: High-resolution Transmission Spectra of Earth through time around FGKM stars
L. Kaltenegger, Z. Lin, S. Rugheimer
The search for life in the universe mainly uses modern Earth as a template. However, we know that Earth's atmospheric composition changed significantly through its geological evolu…
High-resolution Spectra and Biosignatures of Earth-like Planets Transiting White Dwarfs
Thea Kozakis, Zifan Lin, Lisa Kaltenegger
With the first observations of debris disks as well as proposed planets around white dwarfs, the question of how rocky planets around such stellar remnants can be characterized and…
