A Sub-Neptune Exoplanet with a Low-Metallicity Methane-Depleted Atmosphere and Mie-Scattering Clouds
Björn Benneke, Heather A. Knutson, Joshua Lothringer +15
With no analogues in the Solar System, the discovery of thousands of exoplanets with masses and radii intermediate between Earth and Neptune was one of the big surprises of exoplan…
Lyman-alpha in the GJ 1132 System: Stellar Emission and Planetary Atmospheric Evolution
William C. Waalkes, Zachory Berta-Thompson, Vincent Bourrier +6
GJ 1132b, which orbits an M dwarf, is one of the few known Earth-sized planets, and at 12 pc away it is one of the closest known transiting planets. Receiving roughly 19x Earth's i…
The Need for Laboratory Measurements and Ab Initio Studies to Aid Understanding of Exoplanetary Atmospheres
Jonathan J. Fortney, Tyler D. Robinson, Shawn Domagal-Goldman +85
We are now on a clear trajectory for improvements in exoplanet observations that will revolutionize our ability to characterize their atmospheric structure, composition, and circul…
Proxima Centauri b is not a transiting exoplanet
James S. Jenkins, Joseph Harrington, Ryan C. Challener +19
We report Spitzer Space Telescope observations during predicted transits of the exoplanet Proxima Centauri b. As the nearest terrestrial habitable-zone planet we will ever discover…
An HST/STIS Optical Transmission Spectrum of Warm Neptune GJ 436b
Joshua D. Lothringer, Björn Benneke, Ian J. M. Crossfield +9
GJ 436b is a prime target for understanding warm Neptune exoplanet atmospheres and a target for multiple JWST GTO programs. Here, we report the first space-based optical transmissi…
Constraining Hot Jupiter Atmospheric Structure and Dynamics through Doppler Shifted Emission Spectra
Jisheng Zhang, Eliza Kempton, Emily Rauscher
We present a coupled 3-D atmospheric dynamics and radiative transfer model to predict the disk-integrated thermal emission spectra of transiting exoplanets in edge-on orbits. We ca…
