Wayne - A Simulator for HST WFC3 IR Grism Spectroscopy
R. Varley, A. Tsiaras, K. Karpouzas
Wayne is an algorithm that simulates Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) grism spectroscopic frames including sources of noise and systematics. It can simulate…
Detection of an atmosphere around the super-Earth 55 Cancri e
A. Tsiaras, M. Rocchetto, I. P. Waldmann +8
We report the analysis of two new spectroscopic observations of the super-Earth 55 Cancri e, in the near infrared, obtained with the WFC3 camera onboard the HST. 55 Cancri e orbits…
A new approach to analysing HST spatial scans: the transmission spectrum of HD 209458 b
A. Tsiaras, I. P. Waldmann, M. Rocchetto +4
The Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is currently one of the most widely used instruments for observing exoplanetary atmospheres, especially with the use…
ExoData: A python package to handle large exoplanet catalogue data
Ryan Varley
Exoplanet science often involves using the system parameters of real exoplanets for tasks such as simulations, fitting routines, and target selection for proposals. Several exoplan…
The EChO science case
Giovanna Tinetti, Pierre Drossart, Paul Eccleston +347
The discovery of almost 2000 exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representativ…
EChOSim: The Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory software simulator
E. Pascale, I. P. Waldmann, C. J. MacTavish +11
EChOSim is the end-to-end time-domain simulator of the Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory (EChO) space mission. EChOSim has been developed to assess the capability EChO has to…
Exoplanet atmospheres with EChO: spectral retrievals using EChOSim
Joanna K. Barstow, Neil E. Bowles, Suzanne Aigrain +4
We demonstrate the effectiveness of the Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory mission concept for constraining the atmospheric properties of hot and warm gas giants and super Eart…
Generation of an optimal target list for the Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory (EChO)
Ryan Varley, Ingo Waldmann, Enzo Pascale +8
The Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory (EChO) has been studied as a space mission concept by the European Space Agency in the context of the M3 selection process. Through direc…
