Pre-shipment optical characterization of the SCALES instrument

Isabel J. Kain, Reni Kupke, Daren Dillon +31

The Slicer Combined with an Array of Lenslets for Exoplanet Spectroscopy (SCALES) instrument is a 1-5 micron imager and 2-5 micron integral field spectrograph, currently being comm…

An Observational Study of Systematics in Differential Transmission Spectroscopy Using HFOSC on the Himalayan Chandra Telescope

Manjunath Bestha, Athira Unni, T Sivarani +2

Ground-based low-resolution transmission spectroscopy requires photometric precision of a few hundred parts per million, making it sensitive to instrumental and atmospheric systema…

A new broadband atmospheric dispersion corrector for HROS-TMT

Manjunath Bestha, Thirupathi Sivarani, Bachar Wehbe +7

Atmospheric dispersion causes light from celestial objects with different wavelengths to refract at varying angles as it passes through Earth's atmosphere. This effect results in a…

Addressing wavelength-correlated systematics in exoplanet transmission spectroscopy: a 2D Gaussian Process approach

Lokesh Manickavasaham, Manjunath Bestha, Sivarani Thirupathi +2

Ground-based transmission spectroscopy is often dominated by systematics, which obstructs our ability to leverage the advantages of larger aperture sizes compared to space-based ob…

Atmospheric Dispersion Measurement at Hanle Site

Manjunath Bestha, Sivarani Thirupathi, Athira Unni +2

Atmospheric dispersion introduces wavelength-dependent effects that significantly impact ground-based observations, particularly in slit- and fibre-fed spectroscopic studies. These…

A multi-object approach for studying exoplanet atmospheres using high-resolution spectrographs

Manjunath Bestha, Athira Unni, T. Sivarani +5

Atmospheric characterization of exoplanets has traditionally relied on Low-Resolution Transmission Spectroscopy (LRTS), obtained from both space- and ground-based facilities, as we…
