Detecting and Characterizing Water Vapor in the Atmospheres of Earth Analogs through Observation of the 0.94 Micron Feature in Reflected Light
Adam J. R. W. Smith, Y. Katherina Feng, Jonathan J. Fortney +4
The characterization of rocky, Earth-like planets is an important goal for future large ground- and space-based telescopes. In support of developing an efficient observational stra…
The Need for Laboratory Measurements and Ab Initio Studies to Aid Understanding of Exoplanetary Atmospheres
Jonathan J. Fortney, Tyler D. Robinson, Shawn Domagal-Goldman +85
We are now on a clear trajectory for improvements in exoplanet observations that will revolutionize our ability to characterize their atmospheric structure, composition, and circul…
Exploring A Photospheric Radius Correction to Model Secondary Eclipse Spectra for Transiting Exoplanets
Jonathan J. Fortney, Roxana E. Lupu, Caroline V. Morley +2
We highlight a physical effect that is often not considered that impacts the calculation of model spectra of planets at secondary eclipse, affecting both emission and reflection sp…
Imaging Cool Giant Planets in Reflected Light: Science Investigations and Synergy with Habitable Planets
Mark Marley, Nikole Lewis, Giada Arney +38
Planned astronomical observatories of the 2020s will be capable of obtaining reflected light photometry and spectroscopy of cool extrasolar giant planets. Here we explain that such…
Characterizing the Atmospheres of Irradiated Exoplanets at High Spectral Resolution
Diana Dragomir, Eliza Kempton, Jacob Bean +6
The best-characterized exoplanets to date are planets on close-in transiting orbits around their host stars. The high level of irradiation and transiting geometry of these objects…
New Frontiers for Terrestrial-sized to Neptune-sized Exoplanets In the Era of Extremely Large Telescopes
Ji Wang, Michael R. Meyer, Alan Boss +20
Surveys reveal that terrestrial- to Neptune-sized planets (1 4 R) are the most common type of planets in our galaxy. Detecting and characterizing such small…
