Constraining the Atmospheric Composition of the Day-Night Terminators of HD 189733b : Atmospheric Retrieval with Aerosols
Jae-Min Lee, Patrick G. J. Irwin, Leigh N. Fletcher +2
A number of observations have shown that Rayleigh scattering by aerosols dominates the transmission spectrum of HD 189733b at wavelengths shortward of 1 m. In this study, we ret…
The PLATO 2.0 Mission
H. Rauer, C. Catala, C. Aerts +159
PLATO 2.0 has recently been selected for ESA's M3 launch opportunity (2022/24). Providing accurate key planet parameters (radius, mass, density and age) in statistical numbers, it…
Inference of Inhomogeneous Clouds in an Exoplanet Atmosphere
Brice-Olivier Demory, Julien de Wit, Nikole Lewis +11
We present new visible and infrared observations of the hot Jupiter Kepler-7b to determine its atmospheric properties. Our analysis allows us to 1) refine Kepler-7b's relatively la…
Understanding Trends Associated with Clouds in Irradiated Exoplanets
Kevin Heng, Brice-Olivier Demory
Unlike previously explored relationships between the properties of hot Jovian atmospheres, the geometric albedo and the incident stellar flux do not exhibit a clear correlation, as…
An Integral View of Balmer-dominated Shocks in Supernova Remnants
Sladjana Nikolić, Glenn van de Ven, Kevin Heng +5
We present integral-field spectroscopic observations with the VIMOS-IFU at the VLT of fast (2000-3000 km/s) Balmer-dominated shocks surrounding the northwestern rim of the remnant…
The Deep Blue Color of HD189733b: Albedo Measurements with Hubble Space Telescope/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph at Visible Wavelengths
Thomas M. Evans, Frédéric Pont, David K. Sing +7
We present a secondary eclipse observation for the hot Jupiter HD189733b across the wavelength range 290-570nm made using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on the Hubble Spa…
