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…

Revisiting the potassium feature of WASP-31b at high-resolution

Neale P. Gibson, Ernst J. W. de Mooij, Thomas M. Evans +4

The analysis and interpretation of exoplanet spectra from time-series observations remains a significant challenge to our current understanding of exoplanet atmospheres, due to the…

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…

Helium in the eroding atmosphere of an exoplanet

J. J. Spake, D. K. Sing, T. M. Evans +20

Helium is the second-most abundant element in the Universe after hydrogen and is one of the main constituents of gas-giant planets in our Solar System. Early theoretical models pre…
