Clouds in the atmosphere of the super-Earth exoplanet GJ 1214b
Laura Kreidberg, Jacob L. Bean, Jean-Michel Désert +7
Recent surveys have revealed that planets intermediate in size between Earth and Neptune ("super-Earths") are among the most common planets in the Galaxy. Atmospheric studies are t…
NEOKepler: Discovering Near-Earth Objects Using the Kepler Spacecraft
Kevin B. Stevenson, Daniel Fabrycky, Robert Jedicke +2
We propose a new Kepler mission, called NEOKepler, that would survey near Earth's orbit to identify potentially hazardous objects (PHOs). To understand its surveying power, Kepler'…
Compositional diversity in the atmospheres of hot Neptunes, with application to GJ 436b
Julianne I. Moses, Michael R. Line, Channon Visscher +5
Neptune-sized extrasolar planets that orbit relatively close to their host stars -- often called "hot Neptunes" -- are common within the known population of exoplanets and planetar…
Transmission Spectroscopy of the Hot-Jupiter WASP-12b from 0.7 to 5 microns
Kevin B. Stevenson, Jacob L. Bean, Andreas Seifahrt +5
Since the first report of a potentially non-solar carbon-to-oxygen ratio (C/O) in its dayside atmosphere, the highly irradiated exoplanet WASP-12b has been under intense scrutiny a…
WASP-8b: Characterization of a Cool and Eccentric Exoplanet with Spitzer
Patricio Cubillos, Joseph Harrington, Nikku Madhusudhan +6
WASP-8b has 2.18 times Jupiter's mass and is on an eccentric () 8.16-day orbit. With a time-averaged equilibrium temperature of 948 K, it is one of the least-irradiated hot…
Spitzer observations of the thermal emission from WASP-43b
Jasmina Blecic, Joseph Harrington, Nikku Madhusudhan +9
WASP-43b is one of the closest-orbiting hot Jupiters, with a semimajor axis of a = 0.01526 +/- 0.00018 AU and a period of only 0.81 days. However, it orbits one of the coolest star…
