Retrieving Exoplanet Atmospheres using Planetary Infrared Excess: Prospects for the Nightside of WASP-43 b and other Hot Jupiters
Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, Kevin B. Stevenson, L. C. Mayorga +4
To increase the sample size of future atmospheric characterization efforts, we build on the planetary infrared excess (PIE) technique that has been proposed as a means to detect an…
On the Utility of Transmission Color Analysis I: Differentiating Super-Earths and Sub-Neptunes
Kristin S. Sotzen, Kevin B. Stevenson, Erin M. May +9
The majority of exoplanets found to date have been discovered via the transit method, and transmission spectroscopy represents the primary method of studying these distant worlds.…
Transmission Spectroscopy of the Earth-Sun System to Inform the Search for Extrasolar Life
L. C. Mayorga, J. Lustig-Yaeger, E. M. May +7
Upcoming NASA astrophysics missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope will search for signs of life on planets transiting nearby stars. Doing so will require co-adding dozens…
Cold traps of hypervolatiles in the protosolar nebula at the origin of comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS)'s peculiar composition
Olivier Mousis, Artyom Aguichine, Alexis Bouquet +4
Recent observations of the long period comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS) indicate an unusually high N2/CO abundance ratio, typically larger than 0.05, and at least 2-3 times higher than…
