The enigmatic abundance of atomic hydrogen in Saturn's upper atmosphere

Lotfi Ben-Jaffel, Julie Moses, Robert A. West +5

A planet's Lyman-α (Lyα) emission is sensitive to its thermospheric structure. Here, we report joint Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Cassini cross-calibration observations of the…

Signatures of Strong Magnetization and Metal-Poor Atmosphere for a Neptune-Size Exoplanet

Lotfi Ben-Jaffel, Gilda E. Ballester, Antonio García Muñoz +10

The magnetosphere of an exoplanet has yet to be unambiguously detected. Investigations of star-planet interaction and neutral atomic hydrogen absorption during transit to detect ma…

The Hubble PanCET program: An extensive search for metallic ions in the exosphere of GJ 436 b

L. A. dos Santos, D. Ehrenreich, V. Bourrier +15

(Abridged) The quiet M2.5 star GJ 436 hosts a warm Neptune that displays an extended atmosphere that dwarfs its own host star. Predictions of atmospheric escape in such planets sta…
