Hazy with a chance of star spots: constraining the atmosphere of the young planet, K2-33b
Pa Chia Thao, Andrew W. Mann, Peter Gao +10
Although all-sky surveys have led to the discovery of dozens of young planets, little is known about their atmospheres. Here, we present multi-wavelength transit data for the super…
Depletion of gaseous CO in protoplanetary disks by surface-energy-regulated ice formation
Diana Powell, Peter Gao, Ruth Murray-Clay +1
Empirical constraints of fundamental properties of protoplanetary disks are essential for understanding planet formation and planetary properties (1,2). Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is…
Identification of carbon dioxide in an exoplanet atmosphere
The JWST Transiting Exoplanet Community Early Release Science Team, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Lili Alderson +129
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a key chemical species that is found in a wide range of planetary atmospheres. In the context of exoplanets, CO2 is an indicator of the metal enrichment (i.…
Atmospheric Monitoring and Precise Spectroscopy of the HR 8799 Planets with SCExAO/CHARIS
Jason J. Wang, Peter Gao, Jeffrey Chilcote +10
The atmospheres of gas giant planets are thought to be inhomogeneous due to weather and patchy clouds. We present two full nights of coronagraphic observations of the HR 8799 plane…
The Hubble PanCET Program: A Featureless Transmission Spectrum for WASP-29b and Evidence of Enhanced Atmospheric Metallicity on WASP-80b
Ian Wong, Yayaati Chachan, Heather A. Knutson +19
We present a uniform analysis of transit observations from the Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope of two warm gas giants orbiting K-type stars - WASP-29b and WASP-8…
Patchy nightside clouds on ultra-hot Jupiters: General Circulation Model simulations with radiatively active cloud tracers
Thaddeus D. Komacek, Xianyu Tan, Peter Gao +1
The atmospheres of ultra-hot Jupiters have been characterized in detail through recent phase curve and low- and high-resolution emission and transmission spectroscopic observations…
