Day-side z'-band emission and eccentricity of Wasp-12b
Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Jeffrey L. Coughlin, David K. Sing +5
We report the detection of the eclipse of the very-hot Jupiter WASP-12b via z'-band time-series photometry obtained with the 3.5-meter ARC telescope at Apache Point Observatory. We…
Explorations into the Viability of Coupled Radius-Orbit Evolutionary Models for Inflated Planets
Laurent Ibgui, David S. Spiegel, Adam Burrows
The radii of some transiting extrasolar giant planets are larger than would be expected by the standard theory. We address this puzzle with the model of coupled radius-orbit tidal…
Tidal Heating Models for the Radii of the Inflated Transiting Giant Planets WASP-4b, WASP-6b, WASP-12b, and TrES-4
Laurent Ibgui, Adam Burrows, David S. Spiegel
In order to explain the inflated radii of some transiting extrasolar giant planets, we investigate a tidal heating scenario for the inflated planets WASP-4b, WASP-6b, WASP-12b, WAS…
The Broadband Infrared Emission Spectrum of the Exoplanet TrES-3
Francois Fressin, Heather A. Knutson, David Charbonneau +5
We use the Spitzer Space Telescope to estimate the dayside thermal emission of the exoplanet TrES-3 integrated in the 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 micron bandpasses of the Infrared Array…
New Worlds: Evaluating terrestrial planets as astrophysical objects
Caleb A. Scharf, David S. Spiegel, Mark Chandler +4
Terrestrial exoplanets are on the verge of joining the ranks of astronomically accessible objects. Interpreting their observable characteristics, and informing decisions on instrum…
Can TiO Explain Thermal Inversions in the Upper Atmospheres of Irradiated Giant Planets?
David S. Spiegel, Katie Silverio, Adam Burrows
Spitzer Space Telescope infrared observations indicate that several transiting extrasolar giant planets have thermal inversions in their upper atmospheres. Above a relative minimum…
