Cloud property trends in hot and ultra-hot giant gas planets (WASP-43b, WASP-103b, WASP-121b, HAT-P-7b, and WASP-18b)

Ch. Helling, D. Lewis, D. Samra +8

Ultra-hot Jupiters are the hottest exoplanets discovered so far. Observations begin to provide insight into the composition of their extended atmospheres and their chemical day/nig…

Variable dynamics in the inner disk of HD 135344B revealed with multi-epoch scattered light imaging

Tomas Stolker, Mike Sitko, Bernard Lazareff +12

We present multi-epoch VLT/SPHERE observations of the protoplanetary disk around HD 135344B (SAO 206462). The -band scattered light imagery reveal, with high spatial resolution…

Exoplanet Characterization and the Search for Life

J. Kasting, W. Traub, A. Roberge +119

Over 300 extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have been detected orbiting nearby stars. We now hope to conduct a census of all planets around nearby stars and to characterize their atmo…
