Neptune at Summer Solstice: Zonal Mean Temperatures from Ground-Based Observations 2003-2007
Leigh N. Fletcher, Imke de Pater, Glenn S. Orton +3
Imaging and spectroscopy of Neptune's thermal infrared emission is used to assess seasonal changes in Neptune's zonal mean temperatures between Voyager-2 observations (1989, helioc…
Constraining the Atmospheric Composition of the Day-Night Terminators of HD 189733b : Atmospheric Retrieval with Aerosols
Jae-Min Lee, Patrick G. J. Irwin, Leigh N. Fletcher +2
A number of observations have shown that Rayleigh scattering by aerosols dominates the transmission spectrum of HD 189733b at wavelengths shortward of 1 m. In this study, we ret…
Atmospheric Retrieval Analysis of the Directly Imaged Exoplanet HR 8799b
Jae-Min Lee, Kevin Heng, Patrick G. J. Irwin
Directly-imaged exoplanets are unexplored laboratories for the application of the spectral and temperature retrieval method, where the chemistry and composition of their atmosphere…
Constraining the atmosphere of GJ 1214b using an optimal estimation technique
Joanna K. Barstow, Suzanne Aigrain, Patrick G. J. Irwin +2
We explore cloudy, extended H2-He atmosphere scenarios for the warm super-Earth GJ 1214b using an optimal estimation retrieval technique. This planet, orbiting an M4.5 star only 13…
Upper limits for PH3 and H2S in Titan's Atmosphere from Cassini CIRS
Conor A. Nixon, Nicolas A. Teanby, Patrick G. J. Irwin +1
We have searched for the presence of simple P and S-bearing molecules in Titan's atmosphere, by looking for the characteristic signatures of phosphine and hydrogen sulfide in infra…
