Gas Phase Chemistry of Cool Exoplanet Atmospheres: Insight from Laboratory Simulations
Chao He, Sarah M. Hörst, Nikole K. Lewis +6
Photochemistry induced by stellar UV flux should produce haze particles in exoplanet atmospheres. Recent observations indicate that haze and/or cloud layers exist in the atmosphere…
Detection of Helium in the Atmosphere of the Exo-Neptune HAT-P-11b
Megan Mansfield, Jacob L. Bean, Antonija Oklopčić +11
The helium absorption triplet at a wavelength of 10,833 Å has been proposed as a way to probe the escaping atmospheres of exoplanets. Recently this feature was detected for the fir…
Forward modelling and retrievals with PLATON, a fast open source tool
Michael Zhang, Yayaati Chachan, Eliza M. -R. Kempton +1
We introduce PLanetary Atmospheric Transmission for Observer Noobs (PLATON), a Python package that calculates transmission spectra for exoplanets and retrieves atmospheric characte…
The High-Resolution Transmission Spectrum of HD 189733b Interpreted with Atmospheric Doppler Shifts from Three-Dimensional General Circulation Models
Erin Flowers, Matteo Brogi, Emily Rauscher +2
The signature of wind patterns caused by the interplay of rotation and energy redistribution in hot Jupiters is detectable at high spectral resolution, yet no direct comparison has…
Photochemical Haze Formation in the Atmospheres of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes
Chao He, Sarah M. Horst, Nikole K. Lewis +8
UV radiation can induce photochemical processes in exoplanet atmospheres and produce haze particles. Recent observations suggest that haze and/or cloud layers could be present in t…
Ground-based optical transmission spectroscopy of the small, rocky exoplanet GJ 1132b
Hannah Diamond-Lowe, Zachory Berta-Thompson, David Charbonneau +1
Terrestrial Solar System planets either have high mean molecular weight atmospheres, as with Venus, Mars, and Earth, or no atmosphere at all, as with Mercury. We do not have suffic…
