Simulating Reflected Light Exoplanet Spectra of the Promising Direct Imaging Target, Andromedae d, with a New, Fast Sampling Method Using the Planetary Spectrum Generator

Prabal Saxena, Geronimo L. Villanueva, Neil T. Zimmerman +2

Simulations of exoplanet albedo profiles are key to planning and interpreting future direct imaging observations. In this paper we demonstrate the use of the Planetary Spectrum Gen…
