The Detectability and Constraints of Biosignature Gases in the Near & Mid-Infrared from Transit Transmission Spectroscopy
Luke Tremblay, Michael R Line, Kevin B Stevenson +4
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is expected to revolutionize our understanding of Jovian worlds over the coming decade. However, as we push towards characterizing cooler, sma…
The Influence of Stellar Contamination on the Interpretation of Near Infrared Transmission Spectra of Sub-Neptune Worlds around M-Dwarfs
Aishwarya R. Iyer, Michael R. Line
The impact of unocculted stellar surface heterogeneities in the form of cool spots and hot faculae on the spectrum of a transiting planet has been a daunting problem for the charac…
The Featureless Transmission Spectra of Two Super-Puff Planets
Jessica E. Libby-Roberts, Zachory K. Berta-Thompson, Jean-Michel Desert +9
The Kepler mission revealed a class of planets known as ''super-puffs,'' with masses only a few times larger than Earth's but radii larger than Neptune, giving them very low mean d…
The Precision of Mass Measurements Required for Robust Atmospheric Characterization of Transiting Exoplanets
Natasha E. Batalha, Taylor Lewis, Jonathan J. Fortney +4
Two of TESS's major science goals are to measure masses for 50 planets smaller than 4 Earth radii and to discover high-quality targets for atmospheric characterization efforts. It…
Exploring Exoplanet Cloud Assumptions in \textit{JWST} Transmission Spectra
Chuhong Mai, Michael R. Line
Clouds are ubiquitous in extrasolar planet atmospheres and are critical to our understanding of planetary climate and chemistry. They also represent one of the greater challenges t…
Constraining Exoplanet Metallicities and Aerosols with ARIEL: An Independent Study by the Contribution to ARIEL Spectroscopy of Exoplanets (CASE) Team
Robert T. Zellem, Mark R. Swain, Nicolas B. Cowan +24
Launching in 2028, ESA's Atmospheric Remote-sensing Exoplanet Large-survey (ARIEL) survey of 1000 transiting exoplanets will build on the legacies of Kepler and TESS and comp…
