The Nature of the Atmosphere of the Transiting Super-Earth GJ 1214b
E. Miller-Ricci, J. J. Fortney
The newly discovered planet GJ 1214b is the first known transiting super-Earth requiring a significant atmosphere to explain its observed mass and radius. Models for the structure…
On the Emergent Spectra of Hot Protoplanet Collision Afterglows
Eliza Miller-Ricci, Michael R. Meyer, Sara Seager +1
We explore the appearance of terrestrial planets in formation by studying the emergent spectra of hot molten protoplanets during their collisional formation. While such collisions…
Discovery and Characterization of Transiting SuperEarths Using an All-Sky Transit Survey and Follow-up by the James Webb Space Telescope
D. Deming, S. Seager, J. Winn +9
Doppler and transit surveys are finding extrasolar planets of ever smaller mass and radius, and are now sampling the domain of superEarths (1-3 Earth radii). Recent results from th…
The Atmospheric Signatures of Super-Earths: How to Distinguish Between Hydrogen-Rich and Hydrogen-Poor Atmospheres
E. Miller-Ricci, D. Sasselov, S. Seager
Extrasolar super-Earths (1-10 M$_{\earth}$) are likely to exist with a wide range of atmospheres. Some super-Earths may be able to retain massive hydrogen-rich atmospheres. Others…
Polaris the Cepheid returns: 4.5 years of monitoring from ground and space
H. Bruntt, N. R. Evans, D. Stello +6
We present the analysis of 4.5 years of nearly continuous observations of the classical Cepheid Polaris, which comprise the most precise data available for this star. We have made…
MOST Spacebased Photometry of the Transiting Exoplanet System HD 189733: Precise Timing Measurements for Transits Across an Active Star
E. Miller-Ricci, J. F. Rowe, D. Sasselov +8
We have measured transit times for HD 189733b passing in front of its bright (V = 7.67) chromospherically active and spotted parent star. Nearly continuous broadband optical photom…
