Wavelength Does Not Equal Pressure: Vertical Contribution Functions and their Implications for Mapping Hot Jupiters
Ian Dobbs-Dixon, Nicolas B. Cowan
Multi-band phase variations in principle allow us to infer the longitudinal temperature distributions of planets as a function of height in their atmospheres. For example, 3.6 micr…
Cloud Atlas: Discovery of Rotational Spectral Modulations in a Low-mass, L-type Brown Dwarf Companion to a Star
Elena Manjavacas, Daniel Apai, Yifan Zhou +11
Observations of rotational modulations of brown dwarfs and giant exoplanets allow the characterization of condensate cloud properties. As of now rotational spectral modulations hav…
Revisiting the Energy Budget of WASP-43b: Enhanced day-night heat transport
Dylan Keating, Nicolas B. Cowan
The large day--night temperature contrast of WASP-43b has so far eluded explanation. We revisit the energy budget of this planet by considering the impact of reflected light on day…
The Science Case for an Extended Spitzer Mission
Jennifer C. Yee, Giovanni G. Fazio, Robert Benjamin +45
Although the final observations of the Spitzer Warm Mission are currently scheduled for March 2019, it can continue operations through the end of the decade with no loss of photome…
Phase curves of WASP-33b and HD 149026b and a New Correlation Between Phase Curve Offset and Irradiation Temperature
Michael Zhang, Heather A. Knutson, Tiffany Kataria +9
We present new 3.6 and 4.5 Spitzer phase curves for the highly irradiated hot Jupiter WASP-33b and the unusually dense Saturn-mass planet HD 149026b. As part of this analysis,…
The Very Low Albedo of WASP-12b From Spectral Eclipse Observations with
Taylor J. Bell, Nikolay Nikolov, Nicolas B. Cowan +11
We present an optical eclipse observation of the hot Jupiter WASP-12b using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope. These spectra allow us to…
