The Preliminary Mauve Science Programme: Science themes identified for the first year of operations
Mauve Science Collaboration, Marcel Agueros, Don Dixon +22
Mauve is a low-cost small satellite developed and operated by Blue Skies Space Ltd. The payload features a 13 cm telescope connected with a fibre that feeds into a UV-Vis spectrome…
Atmospheric Characterisation with the Twinkle Space Telescope Following Advances from JWST Observations
Tailong Zhang, Benjamin Wilcock, Sushuang Ma +5
The Twinkle Space Telescope is a satellite designed for spectroscopic observations of a wide range of extrasolar and solar system objects. Equipped with a 0.45 m diameter telescope…
MauveSim: the instrument simulator software for the Blue Skies Space Mauve satellite
Arianna Saba, Fabio Favata, Giorgio Savini +4
We present MauveSim, the instrument simulator software for Mauve, the latest mission from Blue Skies Space dedicated to time-domain stellar astronomy. MauveSim functions as an end-…
Twinkle -- a small satellite spectroscopy mission for the next phase of exoplanet science
Ian Stotesbury, Billy Edwards, Jean-Francois Lavigne +35
With a focus on off-the-shelf components, Twinkle is the first in a series of cost competitive small satellites managed and financed by Blue Skies Space Ltd. The satellite is based…
Original Research By Young Twinkle Students (ORBYTS): Ephemeris Refinement of Transiting Exoplanets III
Billy Edwards, Cynthia S. K. Ho, Hannah L. M. Osborne +26
We report photometric follow-up observations of thirteen exoplanets (HATS-1 b, HATS2 b, HATS-3 b, HAT-P-18 b, HAT-P-27 b, HAT-P-30 b, HAT-P-55 b, KELT-4A b, WASP-25 b, WASP-42 b, W…
Original Research By Young Twinkle Students (ORBYTS): Ephemeris Refinement of Transiting Exoplanets
Billy Edwards, Quentin Changeat, Kai Hou Yip +60
We report follow-up observations of transiting exoplanets that have either large uncertainties (>10 minutes) in their transit times or have not been observed for over three years.…
Remote-sensing Characterisation of Major Solar System Bodies with the Twinkle Space Telescope
Billy Edwards, Giorgio Savini, Giovanna Tinetti +4
Remote-sensing observations of Solar System objects with a space telescope offer a key method of understanding celestial bodies and contributing to planetary formation and evolutio…
Small Bodies Science with Twinkle
Billy Edwards, Sean Lindsay, Giorgio Savini +4
Twinkle is an upcoming 0.45m space-based telescope equipped with a visible and two near-infrared spectrometers covering the spectral range 0.4 to 4.5μm with a resolving power R~250…
Exoplanet Spectroscopy and Photometry with the Twinkle Space Telescope
Billy Edwards, Malena Rice, Tiziano Zingales +6
The Twinkle space telescope has been designed for the characterisation of exoplanets and Solar System objects. Operating in a low Earth, Sun-synchronous orbit, Twinkle is equipped…
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…
Influence of different parameters on the chemical composition of warm neptunes
Olivia Venot, Marcelino Agúndez, Franck Selsis +2
We developed a 1D photo-thermochemical model to study the atmosphere of warm exoplanets. The chemical scheme used in this model is completely new in planetology and has been constr…
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…
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…
The atmospheric chemistry of the warm Neptune GJ 3470b: influence of metallicity and temperature on the CH4/CO ratio
Olivia Venot, Marcelino Agundez, Franck Selsis +2
Current observation techniques are able to probe the atmosphere of some giant exoplanets and get some clues about their atmospheric composition. However, the chemical compositions…
TAU: A 1D radiative transfer code for transmission spectroscopy of extrasolar planet atmospheres
M. D. J. Hollis, M. Tessenyi, G. Tinetti
The TAU code is a 1D line-by-line radiative transfer code, which is generally applicable for modelling transmission spectra of close-in extrasolar planets. The inputs are the assum…
Photometric stability analysis of the Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory
I. P. Waldmann, E. Pascale, B. Swinyard +6
Photometric stability is a key requirement for time-resolved spectroscopic observations of transiting extrasolar planets. In the context of the Exoplanet Characterisation Observato…
