EChO - Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory

G. Tinetti, J. P. Beaulieu, T. Henning +131

A dedicated mission to investigate exoplanetary atmospheres represents a major milestone in our quest to understand our place in the universe by placing our Solar System in context…

HST-COS Observations of Hydrogen, Helium, Carbon and Nitrogen Emission from the SN 1987A Reverse Shock

Kevin France, Richard McCray, Steven V. Penton +18

We present the most sensitive ultraviolet observations of Supernova 1987A to date. Imaging spectroscopy from the Hubble Space Telescope-Cosmic Origins Spectrograph shows many narro…

On the effects of clouds and hazes in the atmospheres of hot Jupiters: semi-analytical temperature-pressure profiles

Kevin Heng, Wolfgang Hayek, Frédéric Pont +1

Motivated by the work of Guillot (2010), we present a semi-analytical formalism for calculating the temperature-pressure profiles in hot Jovian atmospheres which includes the effec…

X-ray illumination of the ejecta of Supernova 1987A

J. Larsson, C. Fransson, G. Östlin +25

We present the late-time optical light curve of the ejecta of SN 1987A measured from HST imaging observations spanning the past 17 years. We find that the flux from the ejecta decl…

Estimating the mass of the debris disc in HD 69830

Kevin Heng

We present a method to estimate the mass of the debris disc in the HD 69830 system, which also hosts three exoplanets with Neptune-like minimum masses. By considering the range of…

Atmospheric circulation of tidally locked exoplanets: II. Dual-band radiative transfer and convective adjustment

Kevin Heng, Dargan M. W. Frierson, Peter J. Phillipps

Improving upon our purely dynamical work, we present three-dimensional simulations of the atmospheric circulation on Earth-like (exo)planets and hot Jupiters using the GFDL-Princet…
