Uniform Atmospheric Retrieval Analysis of Ultracool Dwarfs II: Properties of 11 T-dwarfs
Michael R. Line, Mark S. Marley, Michael C. Liu +7
Brown dwarf spectra are rich in information revealing of the chemical and physical processes operating in their atmospheres. We apply a recently developed atmospheric retrieval too…
Atmospheric Retrieval for Direct Imaging Spectroscopy of Gas Giants In Reflected Light II: Orbital Phase and Planetary Radius
Michael Nayak, Roxana Lupu, Mark Marley +3
Future space-based telescopes, such as the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), will observe the reflected-light spectra of directly imaged extrasolar planets. Interpreta…
Exo-Transmit: An Open-Source Code for Calculating Transmission Spectra for Exoplanet Atmospheres of Varied Composition
Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Roxana E. Lupu, Albert Owusu-Asare +2
We present Exo-Transmit, a software package to calculate exoplanet transmission spectra for planets of varied composition. The code is designed to generate spectra of planets with…
Forward and Inverse Modeling of the Emission and Transmission Spectrum of GJ 436b: Investigating Metal Enrichment, Tidal Heating, and Clouds
Caroline V. Morley, Heather Knutson, Michael Line +5
The Neptune-mass GJ 436b is one of the most-studied transiting exoplanets with repeated measurements of both its thermal emission and transmission spectra. We build on previous stu…
The First Spectrum of the Coldest Brown Dwarf
Andrew Skemer, Caroline Morley, Katelyn Allers +6
The recently discovered brown dwarf WISE 0855 presents our first opportunity to directly study an object outside the Solar System that is nearly as cold as our own gas giant planet…
The Hunt for Planet Nine: Atmosphere, Spectra, Evolution, and Detectability
Jonathan J. Fortney, Mark S. Marley, Gregory Laughlin +7
We investigate the physical characteristics of the Solar System's proposed Planet Nine using modeling tools with a heritage in studying Uranus and Neptune. For a range of plausible…
