Depletion of gaseous CO in protoplanetary disks by surface-energy-regulated ice formation
Diana Powell, Peter Gao, Ruth Murray-Clay +1
Empirical constraints of fundamental properties of protoplanetary disks are essential for understanding planet formation and planetary properties (1,2). Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is…
Atmospheric Monitoring and Precise Spectroscopy of the HR 8799 Planets with SCExAO/CHARIS
Jason J. Wang, Peter Gao, Jeffrey Chilcote +10
The atmospheres of gas giant planets are thought to be inhomogeneous due to weather and patchy clouds. We present two full nights of coronagraphic observations of the HR 8799 plane…
The Hubble PanCET Program: A Featureless Transmission Spectrum for WASP-29b and Evidence of Enhanced Atmospheric Metallicity on WASP-80b
Ian Wong, Yayaati Chachan, Heather A. Knutson +19
We present a uniform analysis of transit observations from the Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope of two warm gas giants orbiting K-type stars - WASP-29b and WASP-8…
Constraints on the Microphysics of Pluto's Photochemical Haze from New Horizons Observations
Peter Gao, Siteng Fan, Michael L. Wong +12
The New Horizons flyby of Pluto confirmed the existence of hazes in its atmosphere. Observations of a large high- to low- phase brightness ratio, combined with the blue color of th…
Stability of CO2 Atmospheres on Desiccated M Dwarf Exoplanets
Peter Gao, Renyu Hu, Tyler D. Robinson +2
We investigate the chemical stability of CO2-dominated atmospheres of desiccated M dwarf terrestrial exoplanets using a 1-dimensional photochemical model. Around Sun-like stars, CO…
