Evidence for disequilibrium chemistry from vertical mixing in hot Jupiter atmospheres. A comprehensive survey of transiting close-in gas giant exoplanets with warm-Spitzer/IRAC

C. Baxter, J-M. Désert, S-M. Tsai +10

[Abridged] Aims. We present a large atmospheric study of 49 gas giant exoplanets using infrared transmission photometry with Spitzer/IRAC at 3.6 and 4.5um. Methods. We uniformly an…

A Comprehensive Reanalysis of 's 4.5 m Phase Curves, and the Phase Variations of the Ultra-hot Jupiters MASCARA-1b and KELT-16b

Taylor J. Bell, Lisa Dang, Nicolas B. Cowan +12

We have developed an open-source pipeline for the analysis of \textit{Spitzer}/IRAC channel 1 and 2 time-series photometry, incorporating some of the most popular decorrelation met…

Non-detection of Helium in the Upper Atmospheres of Three Sub-Neptune Exoplanets

David Kasper, Jacob L. Bean, Antonija Oklopčić +5

We present a search for helium in the upper atmospheres of three sub-Neptune size planets to investigate the origins of these ubiquitous objects. The detection of helium for a low…

Smaller than expected bright-spot offsets in Spitzer phase curves of the hot Jupiter Qatar-1b

Dylan Keating, Kevin B. Stevenson, Nicolas B. Cowan +16

We present \textit{Spitzer} full-orbit thermal phase curves of the hot Jupiter Qatar-1b, a planet with the same equilibrium temperature---and intermediate surface gravity and orbit…

Evidence for H Dissociation and Recombination Heat Transport in the Atmosphere of KELT-9b

Megan Mansfield, Jacob L. Bean, Kevin B. Stevenson +19

Phase curve observations provide an opportunity to study the full energy budgets of exoplanets by quantifying the amount of heat redistributed from their daysides to their nightsid…

Investigating Trends in Atmospheric Compositions of Cool Gas Giant Planets Using Spitzer Secondary Eclipses

Nicole L. Wallack, Heather A. Knutson, Caroline V. Morley +7

We present new 3.6 and 4.5 micron secondary eclipse measurements for five cool (less than approximately 1000 K) transiting gas giant planets: HAT-P-15b, HAT-P-17b, HAT-P-18b, HAT-P…
