Ranges of Atmospheric Mass and Composition of Super Earth Exoplanets
L. Elkins-Tanton, S. Seager
Terrestrial-like exoplanets may obtain atmospheres from three primary sources: Capture of nebular gases, degassing during accretion, and degassing from subsequent tectonic activity…
Coreless Terrestrial Exoplanets
L. Elkins-Tanton, S. Seager
Differentiation in terrestrial planets is expected to include the formation of a metallic iron core. We predict the existence of terrestrial planets that have differentiated but ha…
The Atmospheric Signatures of Super-Earths: How to Distinguish Between Hydrogen-Rich and Hydrogen-Poor Atmospheres
E. Miller-Ricci, D. Sasselov, S. Seager
Extrasolar super-Earths (1-10 M$_{\earth}$) are likely to exist with a wide range of atmospheres. Some super-Earths may be able to retain massive hydrogen-rich atmospheres. Others…
The NASA EPOXI mission of opportunity to gather ultraprecise photometry of known transiting exoplanets
Jessie L. Christiansen, David Charbonneau, Michael F. A'Hearn +16
The NASA Discovery mission EPOXI, utilizing the Deep Impact flyby spacecraft, comprises two phases: EPOCh (Extrasolar Planet Observation and Characterization) and DIXI (Deep Impact…
Preliminary Results on HAT-P-4, TrES-3, XO-2, and GJ 436 from the NASA EPOXI Mission
Sarah Ballard, David Charbonneau, Michael F. A'Hearn +16
EPOXI (EPOCh + DIXI) is a NASA Discovery Program Mission of Opportunity using the Deep Impact flyby spacecraft. The EPOCh (Extrasolar Planet Observation and Characterization) Scien…
Towards the Albedo of an Exoplanet: MOST Satellite Observations of Bright Transiting Exoplanetary Systems
Jason F. Rowe, Jaymie M. Matthews, Sara Seager +7
The Canadian MOST satellite is a unique platform for observations of bright transiting exoplanetary systems. Providing nearly continuous photometric observations for up to 8 weeks,…
