The HST PanCET Program: Hints of Na I & Evidence of a Cloudy Atmosphere for the Inflated Hot Jupiter WASP-52b

Munazza K. Alam, Nikolay Nikolov, Mercedes Lopez-Morales +16

We present an optical to near-infrared transmission spectrum of the inflated hot Jupiter WASP-52b using three transit observations from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (ST…

An absolute sodium abundance for a cloud-free 'hot Saturn' exoplanet

Nikolay Nikolov, David K. Sing, Jonathan J. Fortney +20

Broad absorption signatures from alkali metals, such as the sodium (Na I) and potassium (K I) resonance doublets, have long been predicted in the optical atmospheric spectra of clo…

Understanding Stellar Contamination in Exoplanet Transmission Spectra as an Essential Step in Small Planet Characterization

Dániel Apai, Benjamin V. Rackham, Mark S. Giampapa +18

Transmission spectroscopy during planetary transits is expected to be a major source of information on the atmospheres of small (approximately Earth-sized) exoplanets in the next t…
