Hubble PanCET: An extended upper atmosphere of neutral hydrogen around the warm Neptune GJ 3470 b
V. Bourrier, A. Lecavelier des Etangs, D. Ehrenreich +16
GJ 3470b is a warm Neptune transiting an M-dwarf star at the edge of the evaporation desert. It offers the possibility of investigating how low-mass, close-in exoplanets evolve und…
Detection of Helium in the Atmosphere of the Exo-Neptune HAT-P-11b
Megan Mansfield, Jacob L. Bean, Antonija Oklopčić +11
The helium absorption triplet at a wavelength of 10,833 Å has been proposed as a way to probe the escaping atmospheres of exoplanets. Recently this feature was detected for the fir…
Spectrally resolved helium absorption from the extended atmosphere of a warm Neptune-mass exoplanet
R. Allart, V. Bourrier, C. Lovis +7
Stellar heating causes atmospheres of close-in exoplanets to expand and escape. These extended atmospheres are difficult to observe because their main spectral signature - neutral…
Observability of hydrogen-rich exospheres in Earth-like exoplanets
Leonardo A. dos Santos, Vincent Bourrier, David Ehrenreich +1
(Abridged) The existence of an extended neutral hydrogen exosphere around small planets can be used as an evidence for the presence of water in their lower atmosphere but, to date,…
Disentangling the planet from the star in late type M dwarfs: A case study of TRAPPIST-1g
Hannah R. Wakeford, Nikole K. Lewis, Julia Fowler +10
The atmospheres of late M stars represent a significant challenge in the characterization of any transiting exoplanets due to the presence of strong molecular features in the stell…
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…
