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…
Improved Constraints on the Surface of LHS 3844 b from its Mid-Infrared Spectrum
Kimberly Paragas, Heather A. Knutson, Renyu Hu +4
The thermal emission spectra of terrestrial exoplanets provide a window into their surface compositions and corresponding geological processes. Close-in, rocky planets orbiting M d…
The dark and featureless surface of rocky exoplanet LHS 3844 b from JWST mid-infrared spectroscopy
Sebastian Zieba, Laura Kreidberg, Brandon P. Coy +13
JWST has opened a new era in the study of rocky exoplanets, enabling direct characterization of their surfaces with mid-infrared spectroscopy. Different types of rock have distinct…
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…
TOI-4616 b: a benchmark Earth-sized planet transiting a nearby M4 dwarf
F. Zong Lang, B. O. Demory, Y. Gomez Maqueo Chew +44
Rocky exoplanets are particularly abundant around M-type stars. Their small radii and low luminosities provide favourable conditions for detecting transiting terrestrial planets an…
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…
