Transmission Spectra of Transiting Planet Atmospheres: Model Validation and Simulations of the Hot Neptune GJ 436b for JWST

Megan Shabram, Jonathan J. Fortney, Thomas P. Greene +1

We explore the transmission spectrum of the Neptune-class exoplanet GJ 436b, including the possibility that its atmospheric opacity is dominated by a variety of non- equilibrium ch…

Near-IR Molecular Hydrogen Emission of Protostars: Probing Circumstellar Environments

Thomas P. Greene, Mary Barsony, David A. Weintraub

We present new observations of near-infrared molecular hydrogen (H2) line emission in a sample of 18 Class I and flat-spectrum low mass protostars, primarily in the Tau- Aur and ρ…

A Near-Infrared Spectroscopic Survey of Class I Protostars

Michael S. Connelley, Thomas P. Greene

We present the results of a near-IR spectroscopic survey of 110 Class I protostars observed from 0.80 microns to 2.43 microns at a spectroscopic resolution of R=1200. We find that…

Spin Evolution of Accreting Young Stars. I. Effect of Magnetic Star-Disk Coupling

Sean P. Matt, Giovanni Pinzon, Ramiro de la Reza +1

We present a model for the rotational evolution of a young, solar mass star interacting with an accretion disk. The model incorporates a description of the angular momentum transfe…

ISM Dust Grains and N-band Spectral Variability in the Spatially Resolved Subarcsecond Binary UY Aur

Andrew Skemer, Laird Close, Philip Hinz +4

The 10 micron silicate feature is an essential diagnostic of dust-grain growth and planet formation in young circumstellar disks. The Spitzer Space Telescope has revolutionized the…

Thermal Emission and Tidal Heating of the Heavy and Eccentric Planet XO-3b

Pavel Machalek, Tom Greene, Peter R. McCullough +5

We determined the flux ratios of the heavy and eccentric planet XO-3b to its parent star in the four IRAC bands of the Spitzer Space Telescope: 0.101% +- 0.004% at 3.6 micron; 0.14…
