Hubble PanCET: An extended upper atmosphere of neutral hydrogen around the warm Neptune GJ 3470 b
V. Bourrier, A. Lecavelier des Etangs, D. Ehrenreich +16
GJ 3470b is a warm Neptune transiting an M-dwarf star at the edge of the evaporation desert. It offers the possibility of investigating how low-mass, close-in exoplanets evolve und…
WIRC+Pol: a low-resolution near-infrared spectropolarimeter
Samaporn Tinyanont, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer, Ricky Nilsson +14
WIRC+Pol is a newly commissioned low-resolution (R~100), near-infrared (J and H band) spectropolarimetry mode of the Wide-field InfraRed Camera (WIRC) on the 200-inch Hale Telescop…
An optical transmission spectrum for the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121b measured with the Hubble Space Telescope
Thomas M. Evans, David K. Sing, Jayesh Goyal +24
We present an atmospheric transmission spectrum for the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121b, measured using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) onboard the Hubble Space Telesco…
The Origins Space Telescope
Cara Battersby, Lee Armus, Edwin Bergin +36
The Origins Space Telescope, one of four large Mission Concept studies sponsored by NASA for review in the 2020 US Astrophysics Decadal Survey, will open unprecedented discovery sp…
An absolute sodium abundance for a cloud-free 'hot Saturn' exoplanet
Nikolay Nikolov, David K. Sing, Jonathan J. Fortney +20
Broad absorption signatures from alkali metals, such as the sodium (Na I) and potassium (K I) resonance doublets, have long been predicted in the optical atmospheric spectra of clo…
The need for a far-infrared cold space telescope to understand the chemistry of planet formation
Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Edwin A. Bergin, Gary Melnick +14
At a time when ALMA produces spectacular high resolution images of gas and dust in circumstellar disks, the next observational frontier in our understanding of planet formation and…
The Origins Space Telescope: Towards An Understanding of Temperate Planetary Atmospheres
Jonathan Fortney, Tiffany Kataria, Kevin Stevenson +46
The Origins Space Telescope (OST) is one of four mission concepts currently being studied by NASA in preparation for the Astrophysics 2020 Decadal Survey. With active cooling (~4 K…
Additional Exoplanet Science Enabled by FINESSE
Robert T. Zellem, Jonathan J. Fortney, Mark R. Swain +10
FINESSE, a NASA MIDEX mission in Step 2, would conduct a large, uniform survey of exoplanet atmospheres and create a statistically significant sample for comparative planetology. F…
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…
