A Spatial Map of the Atmospheric Limb of a Hot Jupiter
Lili Alderson, Hannah R. Wakeford, David Grant +18
Planets are inherently three-dimensional objects shaped by their thermal structure and dynamics. Observations of transiting exoplanets have begun to uncover this three-dimensional…
K-dwarf starspot hunters: how to directly characterize spot and faculae properties with UV-IR panchromatic transit spectra
Joanna K. Barstow, Caitlyn Cullen, Yvonne Unruh +7
Transmission spectroscopy of exoplanets provides an important window into their atmospheric composition, structure and dynamics, especially in the JWST era. As the quality of the o…
WASP-43b TESS Phase Curve Mapping: Evidence for a Hot Interior
Maura Lally, Ryan C. Challener, Elspeth Lee +1
Phase-curve mapping probes various atmospheric properties depending on wavelength: thermal phase curves are dominated by atmospheric emission, while visible and near-infrared phase…
Leveraging Impact Parameter to Mitigate the Transit Light Source Effect: Early Insights from TRAPPIST-1
Ana Glidden, Alexander I. Shapiro, Sara Seager +19
Stellar activity complicates exoplanet transmission spectra, particularly for smaller planets around M dwarfs with JWST. The transit light source (TLS) effect, the imprinting of sp…
TESS Photometry and Radial Velocity Analysis of the sub-Neptune Exoplanet π Mensae c and the Wider π Mensae Planetary System
Skylar S. Larsen, Jake D. Turner, Nikole K. Lewis +10
Exoplanet characterization relies on precise measurements of planetary orbital and physical parameters. This is particularly important for planetary dynamics and atmospheric evolut…
Aerosols and hydrocarbons in the atmosphere of a white dwarf planet
Ryan J. MacDonald, Christopher E. O'Connor, Victoria A. Boehm +15
Most stars, including our Sun, will one day evolve into red giants and, subsequently, white dwarfs. Several planet candidates have recently been identified orbiting white dwarfs, d…
Magnesium Silicate Clouds in the Atmosphere of HD 209458b from a Rule-Based Tree-Structured Data Reduction
Katy L. Chubb, David Grant, Hannah R. Wakeford +14
HD 209458b is the canonical hot Jupiter: the first to have its atmosphere measured and the first to hint at the role of aerosols in exoplanet atmospheres through the muting of Na a…
The Rocky Planet Picture Show: Implementation of Surface Reflection and Emission in with Application to and Interpretation of JWST Data
Elijah Mullens, Ryan J. MacDonald, Marina E. Gemma +3
The surface characterization of rocky exoplanets via emission spectroscopy represents a frontier of current (JWST) and future (HWO) observational efforts. Here, we implement new fe…
