JWST NIRSpec finds no clear signs of an atmosphere on TOI-1685 b
Chloe E. Fisher, Matthew J. Hooton, Amélie Gressier +21
Determining the prevalence of atmospheres on terrestrial planets is a core objective in exoplanetary science. While M dwarf systems offer a promising opportunity, conclusive observ…
Hot Rocks Survey IV: Emission from LTT 3780 b is consistent with a bare rock
Natalie H. Allen, Néstor Espinoza, Hannah Diamond-Lowe +19
It is an open question whether small planets around M dwarfs are able to maintain atmospheres. The Hot Rocks Survey aims to address this question by observing 9 rocky exoplanets or…
Hot Rocks Survey III: A deep eclipse for LHS 1140c and a new Gaussian process method to account for correlated noise in individual pixels
Mark Fortune, Neale P. Gibson, Hannah Diamond-Lowe +14
Time-series photometry at mid-infrared wavelengths is becoming a common technique to search for atmospheres around rocky exoplanets. This method constrains the brightness temperatu…
Hot Rocks Survey II: The thermal emission of TOI-1468 b reveals a hot bare rock
E. A. Meier Valdés, B. -O. Demory, H. Diamond-Lowe +17
Terrestrial exoplanets orbiting nearby small, cool stars known as M dwarfs are well suited for atmospheric characterisation. Given the strong XUV irradiation from M dwarf host star…
Hot Rocks Survey I : A possible shallow eclipse for LHS 1478 b
Prune C. August, Lars A. Buchhave, Hannah Diamond-Lowe +18
M dwarf systems offer an opportunity to study terrestrial exoplanetary atmospheres due to their small size and cool temperatures. However, the extreme conditions imposed by these h…
Stellar Contamination Correction Using Back-to-Back Transits of TRAPPIST-1 b and c
Alexander D. Rathcke, Lars A. Buchhave, Julien De Wit +8
Stellar surface heterogeneities, such as spots and faculae, often contaminate exoplanet transit spectra, hindering precise atmospheric characterization. We demonstrate a novel, epo…
