Characterizing Transiting Exoplanets with JWST Guaranteed Time and ERS Observations

Thomas Greene, Jacob Bean, Thomas Beatty +10

We highlight how guaranteed time observations (GTOs) and early release science (ERS) will advance understanding of exoplanet atmospheres and provide a glimpse into what transiting…
