Two Terrestrial Planet Families With Different Origins
Mark Swain, Raissa Estrela, Christophe Sotin +2
The potentially important role of stellar irradiation in envelope removal for planets with diameters of 2 R$_{\Earth}$ has been inferred both through theoretical work…
Ground-based Spectroscopy of the Exoplanet XO-2b using a Systematic Wavelength Calibration
Kyle A. Pearson, Caitlin A. Griffith, Robert T. Zellem +2
Exoplanets orbiting close to their host star are expected to support a large ionosphere, which extends to larger pressures than witnessed in our Solar System. These ionospheres can…
The Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS): A Mission to Understand the Impact of Stars in Exoplanets
David R. Ardila, Evgenya Shkolnik, Paul Scowen +14
The Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS) is a NASA-funded astrophysics mission, devoted to the study of the ultraviolet (UV) time-domain behavior in low-mass stars. Given…
A Framework for Prioritizing the TESS Planetary Candidates Most Amenable to Atmospheric Characterization
Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Jacob L. Bean, Dana R. Louie +40
A key legacy of the recently launched TESS mission will be to provide the astronomical community with many of the best transiting exoplanet targets for atmospheric characterization…
The Origins Space Telescope: Towards An Understanding of Temperate Planetary Atmospheres
Jonathan Fortney, Tiffany Kataria, Kevin Stevenson +46
The Origins Space Telescope (OST) is one of four mission concepts currently being studied by NASA in preparation for the Astrophysics 2020 Decadal Survey. With active cooling (~4 K…
Additional Exoplanet Science Enabled by FINESSE
Robert T. Zellem, Jonathan J. Fortney, Mark R. Swain +10
FINESSE, a NASA MIDEX mission in Step 2, would conduct a large, uniform survey of exoplanet atmospheres and create a statistically significant sample for comparative planetology. F…
