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…
Searching for Terrestrial Planets Orbiting in the Habitable Zone of Ultra-Cool Stars and Brown Dwarfs
Brice-Olivier Demory, Sara Seager, Jack Lissauer +11
We propose to use Kepler in 2-wheel mode to conduct a detailed search for Earth-sized planets orbiting ultra-cool stars and brown dwarfs (spectral types from M7 to L3). This popula…
Search for a habitable terrestrial planet transiting the nearby red dwarf GJ 1214
M. Gillon, B. -O. Demory, N. Madhusudhan +12
High-precision eclipse spectrophotometry of transiting terrestrial exoplanets represents a promising path for the first atmospheric characterizations of habitable worlds and the se…
Towards the Minimum Inner Edge Distance of the Habitable Zone
Andras Zsom, Sara Seager, Julien de Wit +1
We explore the minimum distance from a host star where an exoplanet could potentially be habitable in order not to discard close-in rocky exoplanets for follow-up observations. We…
