Signatures of Atmospheric Mass Loss and Planet Migration in the Time Evolution of Short-Period Transiting Exoplanets
Rachel B. Fernandes, Galen J. Bergsten, Gijs D. Mulders +19
Comparative studies of young and old exoplanet populations offer a glimpse into how planets may form and evolve with time. We present an occurrence rate study of short-period (1…
Thermal Phase Curves in Hot Gas Giant Exoplanets Exhibit a Complex Dependence on Planetary Properties
Mark R Swain, Kyle A Pearson, Thaddeus D. Komacek +5
We present a catalog of uniformly processed 3.6-m and 4.5-m band exoplanet thermal phase curves based on Infrared Array Camera observations obtained from the Spitzer Heritage…
Detection of an Atmosphere on a Rocky Exoplanet
Mark R. Swain, Raissa Estrela, Gael M. Roudier +7
We report the detection of an atmosphere on a rocky exoplanet, GJ 1132 b, which is similar to Earth in terms of size and density. The atmospheric transmission spectrum was detected…
Utilizing Small Telescopes Operated by Citizen Scientists for Transiting Exoplanet Follow-up
Robert T. Zellem, Kyle A. Pearson, Ethan Blaser +41
Due to the efforts by numerous ground-based surveys and NASA's Kepler and TESS, there will be hundreds, if not thousands, of transiting exoplanets ideal for atmospheric characteriz…
A search for multi-planet systems with TESS using a Bayesian N-body retrieval and machine learning
Kyle A. Pearson
Transiting exoplanets in multi-planet systems exhibit non-Keplerian orbits as a result of the gravitational influence from companions which can cause the times and durations of tra…
Ground-based Spectroscopy of the Exoplanet XO-2b using a Systematic Wavelength Calibration
Kyle A. Pearson, Caitlin A. Griffith, Robert T. Zellem +2
Exoplanets orbiting close to their host star are expected to support a large ionosphere, which extends to larger pressures than witnessed in our Solar System. These ionospheres can…
