Disentangling the planet from the star in late type M dwarfs: A case study of TRAPPIST-1g
Hannah R. Wakeford, Nikole K. Lewis, Julia Fowler +10
The atmospheres of late M stars represent a significant challenge in the characterization of any transiting exoplanets due to the presence of strong molecular features in the stell…
Limits on Clouds and Hazes for the TRAPPIST-1 Planets
Sarah E. Moran, Sarah M. Hörst, Natasha E. Batalha +2
The TRAPPIST-1 planetary system is an excellent candidate for study of the evolution and habitability of M-dwarf planets. Transmission spectroscopy observations performed with the…
Color Classification of Extrasolar Giant Planets: Prospects and Cautions
Natasha E. Batalha, Adam J. R. W. Smith, Nikole K. Lewis +3
Atmospheric characterization of directly imaged planets has thus far been limited to ground-based observations of young, self-luminous, Jovian planets. Near-term space- and ground-…
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…
Strategies for Constraining the Atmospheres of Temperate Terrestrial Planets with JWST
Natasha E. Batalha, Nikole K. Lewis, Michael R. Line +2
TESS is expected to discover dozens of temperate terrestrial planets orbiting M dwarfs whose atmospheres could be followed up with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Currently,…
The Importance of Multiple Observation Methods to Characterize Potentially Habitable Exoplanets: Ground- and Space-Based Synergies
Giada Arney, Natasha Batalha, Nicolas Cowan +8
The discovery of a truly habitable exoplanet would be one of the most important events in the history of science. However, the nature and distribution of habitable environments on…
The Transiting Exoplanet Community Early Release Science Program for JWST
Jacob L. Bean, Kevin B. Stevenson, Natalie M. Batalha +99
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) presents the opportunity to transform our understanding of planets and the origins of life by revealing the atmospheric compositions, structur…
