PLATO 2.0 has recently been selected for ESA's M3 launch opportunity (2022/24). Providing accurate key planet parameters (radius, mass, density and age) in statistical numbers, it…
A Framework for Characterizing the Atmospheres of Low-Mass Low-Density Transiting Planets
Jonathan J. Fortney, Christoph Mordasini, Nadine Nettelmann +3
We perform modeling investigations to aid in understanding the atmospheres and composition of small planets of ~2-4 Earth radii, which are now known to be common in our galaxy. GJ…
Characterizing Exoplanets in the Visible and Infrared: A Spectrometer Concept for the EChO Space Mission
A. M. Glauser, R. van Boekel, O. Krause +30
Transit-spectroscopy of exoplanets is one of the key observational techniques to characterize the extrasolar planet and its atmosphere. The observational challenges of these measur…
