Signatures of Clouds in Hot Jupiter Atmospheres: Modeled High Resolution Emission Spectra from 3D General Circulation Models

Caleb K. Harada, Eliza M. -R. Kempton, Emily Rauscher +4

Observations of scattered light and thermal emission from hot Jupiter exoplanets have suggested the presence of inhomogeneous aerosols in their atmospheres. 3D general circulation…

The Precision of Mass Measurements Required for Robust Atmospheric Characterization of Transiting Exoplanets

Natasha E. Batalha, Taylor Lewis, Jonathan J. Fortney +4

Two of TESS's major science goals are to measure masses for 50 planets smaller than 4 Earth radii and to discover high-quality targets for atmospheric characterization efforts. It…

Identifying Candidate Atmospheres on Rocky M dwarf Planets via Eclipse Photometry

Daniel D. B. Koll, Matej Malik, Megan Mansfield +4

Most rocky planets in the galaxy orbit a cool host star, and there is large uncertainty among theoretical models whether these planets can retain an atmosphere. The James Webb Spac…
