The Pandora SmallSat: post-launch operations and mission update
Trevor O. Foote, Elisa V. Quintana, Jessie L. Dotson +41
The Pandora SmallSat is a NASA flight project designed to study the atmospheres of exoplanets. Transmission spectroscopy of transiting exoplanets provides our best opportunity to i…
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…
NASA's Pandora SmallSat Mission: Simulating the Impact of Stellar Photospheric Heterogeneity and Its Correction
Benjamin V. Rackham, Aishwarya R. Iyer, Dániel Apai +28
Stellar photospheric heterogeneity is a dominant astrophysical systematic impacting exoplanet transmission spectroscopy. NASA's Pandora SmallSat Mission is designed to address this…
NASA's Pandora SmallSat Mission: Simulated Modeling and Retrieval of Near-Infrared Exoplanet Transmission Spectra
Yoav Rotman, Peter McGill, Luis Welbanks +22
Pandora is a SmallSat mission dedicated to understanding exoplanets and their host stars by disentangling the impact of stellar heterogeneity on exoplanet transmission spectra. Sel…
Eclipse Mapping with MIRI: 2D Map of HD 189733b from JWST MIRI LRS Observations
Maura Lally, Ryan Challener, Nikole Lewis +13
Observations and models of transiting hot Jupiter exoplanets indicate that atmospheric circulation features may cause large spatial flux contrasts across their daysides. Previous s…
The Pandora SmallSat: A Low-Cost, High Impact Mission to Study Exoplanets and Their Host Stars
Thomas Barclay, Elisa V. Quintana, Knicole Colón +19
The Pandora SmallSat is a NASA flight project aimed at studying the atmospheres of exoplanets -- planets orbiting stars outside our Solar System. Pandora will provide the first dat…
Quartz Clouds in the Dayside Atmosphere of the Quintessential Hot Jupiter HD 189733 b
Julie Inglis, Natasha E. Batalha, Nikole K. Lewis +16
Recent mid-infrared observations with JWST/MIRI have resulted in the first direct detections of absorption features from silicate clouds in the transmission spectra of two transiti…
Schedule optimization for transiting exoplanet observations with NASA's Pandora SmallSat mission
Trevor O. Foote, Thomas Barclay, Christina L. Hedges +3
Pandora is an upcoming NASA SmallSat mission that will observe transiting exoplanets to study their atmospheres and the variability of their host stars. Efficient mission planning…
The Pandora SmallSat: Multiwavelength Characterization of Exoplanets and their Host Stars
Elisa V. Quintana, Knicole D. Colón, Gregory Mosby +24
Pandora is a SmallSat mission designed to study the atmospheres of exoplanets, and was selected as part of NASA's Astrophysics Pioneers Program. Transmission spectroscopy of transi…
The Emission Spectrum of the Hot Jupiter WASP-79b from HST/WFC3
Trevor O. Foote, Nikole K. Lewis, Brian M. Kilpatrick +12
Here we present a thermal emission spectrum of WASP-79b, obtained via Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 G141 observations as part of the PanCET program. As we did not obse…
