The HST/WFC3 Transmission Spectrum of AU Mic b Part I: An Atmosphere Obscured by Contamination and Systematics

William C. Waalkes, Peter Gao, Elisabeth Newton +10

Young sub-Neptune progenitors around M dwarfs offer an excellent opportunity to probe the formation of their abundant, older cousins. At 20 Myr and only 9.7 pc away, AU Mic b…

Thermal Eclipse Observation of the Young Hot Neptune AU Mic b with Spitzer

Kevin I. Collins, Peter Plavchan, Zachory Berta-Thompson +11

We present the observation of a secondary eclipse of the young hot Neptune, AU Mic b, in the infrared using the Spitzer Space Telescope. Using a primary transit from Spitzer to con…

The Variable Detection of Atmospheric Escape around the young, Hot Neptune AU Mic b

Keighley E. Rockcliffe, Elisabeth R. Newton, Allison Youngblood +5

Photoevaporation is a potential explanation for several features within exoplanet demographics. Atmospheric escape observed in young Neptune-sized exoplanets can provide insight in…

Validating AU Microscopii d with Transit Timing Variations

Justin M. Wittrock, Peter Plavchan, Bryson L. Cale +31

AU Mic is a young (22 Myr) nearby exoplanetary system that exhibits excess TTVs that cannot be accounted for by the two known transiting planets nor stellar activity. We present th…

Spitzer Space Telescope Mid-IR Light Curves of Neptune

J. R. Stauffer, M. S. Marley, J. E. Gizis +9

We have used the Spitzer Space Telescope in February 2016 to obtain high cadence, high signal-to-noise, 17-hour duration light curves of Neptune at 3.6 and 4.5 m. The light curv…

HST Rotational Spectral Mapping of Two L-Type Brown Dwarfs: Variability In and Out of Water Bands Indicates High-Altitude Haze Layers

Hao Yang, Daniel Apai, Mark S. Marley +13

We present time-resolved near-infrared spectroscopy of two L5 dwarfs, 2MASS J18212815+1414010 and 2MASS J15074759-1627386, observed with the Wide Field Camera 3 instrument on the H…
