Thermal Phase Curves of XO-3b: an Eccentric Hot Jupiter at the Deuterium Burning Limit
Lisa Dang, Taylor J. Bell, Nicolas B. Cowan +15
We report \textit{Spitzer} full-orbit phase observations of the eccentric hot Jupiter XO-3b at 3.6 and 4.5 m. Our new eclipse depth measurements of ppm at 3.6 …
Using the Climate App to learn about Planetary Habitability and Climate Change
Lan Xi Zhu, Anthony Courchesne, Nicolas B. Cowan
Simple climate models have been around for more than a century but have recently come back into fashion: they are useful for explaining global warming and the habitability of extra…
Longitudinally Resolved Spectral Retrieval (ReSpect) of WASP-43b
Patricio E. Cubillos, Dylan Keating, Nicolas B. Cowan +6
Thermal phase variations of short period planets indicate that they are not spherical cows: day-to-night temperature contrasts range from hundreds to thousands of degrees, rivaling…
Ariel: Enabling planetary science across light-years
Giovanna Tinetti, Paul Eccleston, Carole Haswell +313
Ariel, the Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey, was adopted as the fourth medium-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme to be launched in 2029. Durin…
Atmospheric characterization of hot Jupiters using hierarchical models of Spitzer observations
Dylan Keating, Nicolas B. Cowan
The field of exoplanet atmospheric characterization is trending towards comparative studies involving many planetary systems, and using Bayesian hierarchical modelling is a natural…
A survey of exoplanet phase curves with Ariel
Benjamin Charnay, Joao M. Mendonça, Laura Kreidberg +12
The ESA-Ariel mission will include a tier dedicated to exoplanet phase curves corresponding to ~10% of the science time. We present here the current observing strategy for studying…
