Schedule optimization for transiting exoplanet observations with NASA's Pandora SmallSat mission
Trevor O. Foote, Thomas Barclay, Christina L. Hedges +3
Pandora is an upcoming NASA SmallSat mission that will observe transiting exoplanets to study their atmospheres and the variability of their host stars. Efficient mission planning…
The TESS Mission Target Selection Procedure
Michael Fausnaugh, Ed Morgan, Roland Vanderspek +61
We describe the target selection procedure by which stars are selected for 2-minute and 20-second observations by TESS. We first list the technical requirements of the TESS instrum…
The Pandora SmallSat: Multiwavelength Characterization of Exoplanets and their Host Stars
Elisa V. Quintana, Knicole D. Colón, Gregory Mosby +24
Pandora is a SmallSat mission designed to study the atmospheres of exoplanets, and was selected as part of NASA's Astrophysics Pioneers Program. Transmission spectroscopy of transi…
exoplanet: Gradient-based probabilistic inference for exoplanet data & other astronomical time series
Daniel Foreman-Mackey, Rodrigo Luger, Eric Agol +13
"exoplanet" is a toolkit for probabilistic modeling of astronomical time series data, with a focus on observations of exoplanets, using PyMC3 (Salvatier et al., 2016). PyMC3 is a f…
A High-Cadence UV-Optical Telescope Suite On The Lunar South Pole
Scott W. Fleming, Thomas Barclay, Keaton J. Bell +14
We propose a suite of telescopes be deployed as part of the Artemis III human-crewed expedition to the lunar south pole, able to collect wide-field simultaneous far-ultraviolet (UV…
Community Involvement in the WFIRST Exoplanet Microlensing Survey
David P. Bennett, Rachel Akeson, Thomas Barclay +22
WFIRST is NASA's first flagship mission with pre-defined core science programs to study dark energy and perform a statistical census of wide orbit exoplanets with a gravitational m…
