Searching For Rapid Orbital Decay of WASP-18b
Ashlee N. Wilkins, Laetitia Delrez, Adrian J. Barker +4
The WASP-18 system, with its massive and extremely close-in planet, WASP-18b (M = 10.3M, a = 0.02 AU, P = 22.6 hours), is one of the best known exoplanet laboratories t…
Water Vapour Absorption in the Clear Atmosphere of an exo-Neptune
Jonathan Fraine, Drake Deming, Björn Benneke +6
Transmission spectroscopy to date has detected atomic and molecular absorption in Jupiter-sized exoplanets, but intense efforts to measure molecular absorption in the atmospheres o…
Atmospheric Characterization of 5 Hot Jupiters with Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope
Sukrit Ranjan, David Charbonneau, Jean-Michel Désert +4
We probe the structure and composition of the atmospheres of 5 hot Jupiter exoplanets using the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) instrument. We use the G141 grism…
The Emergent 1.1-1.7 Micron Spectrum of the Exoplanet CoRoT-2b as Measured Using the Hubble Space Telescope
Ashlee Wilkins, Drake Deming, Nikku Madhusudhan +4
We have used Hubble/WFC3 and the G141 grism to measure the secondary eclipse of the transiting very hot Jupiter CoRoT-2b in the 1.1-1.7m spectral region. We find an eclipse dept…
A Near-Infrared Transmission Spectrum for the Warm Saturn HAT-P-12b
Michael R. Line, Heather Knutson, Drake Deming +2
We present a HST WFC3 transmission spectrum for the transiting exoplanet HAT-P-12b. This warm (1000 K) sub-Saturn-mass planet has a smaller mass and a lower temperature than the ho…
Centaurs and Scattered Disk Objects in the Thermal Infrared: Analysis of WISE/NEOWISE Observations
James M. Bauer, Tommy Grav, Erin Blauvelt +22
The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) observed 52 Centaurs and Scattered Disk Objects in the thermal infrared, including the 15 discoveries that were new. We present analy…
Infrared Transmission Spectroscopy of the Exoplanets HD209458b and XO-1b Using the Wide Field Camera-3 on the Hubble Space Telescope
Drake Deming, Ashlee Wilkins, Peter McCullough +18
Exoplanetary transmission spectroscopy in the near-infrared using Hubble/NICMOS is currently ambiguous because different observational groups claim different results from the same…
WISE/NEOWISE Observations of the Hilda Population: Preliminary Results
T. Grav, A. K. Mainzer, J. Bauer +14
We present the preliminary analysis of 1023 known asteroids in the Hilda region of the Solar System observed by the NEOWISE component of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WI…
WISE/NEOWISE Observations of the Jovian Trojans: Preliminary Results
T. Grav, A. K. Mainzer, J. Bauer +13
We present the preliminary analysis of over 1739 known and 349 candidate Jovian Trojans observed by the NEOWISE component of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). With th…
NEOWISE Observations of Near-Earth Objects: Preliminary Results
A. Mainzer, T. Grav, J. Bauer +34
With the NEOWISE portion of the \emph{Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer} (WISE) project, we have carried out a highly uniform survey of the near-Earth object (NEO) population at…
Main Belt Asteroids with WISE/NEOWISE I: Preliminary Albedos and Diameters
Joseph R. Masiero, A. K. Mainzer, T. Grav +15
We present initial results from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), a four-band all-sky thermal infrared survey that produces data well suited to measuring the physical…
WISE/NEOWISE observations of comet 103P/Hartley 2
James M. Bauer, Russell G. Walker, A. K. Mainzer +19
We report results based on mid-infrared photometry of comet 103P/Hartley 2 taken during May 4-13, 2010 (when the comet was at a heliocentric distance of 2.3 AU, and an observer dis…
Preliminary Results from NEOWISE: An Enhancement to the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer for Solar System Science
A. Mainzer, J. Bauer, T. Grav +32
The \emph{Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer} has surveyed the entire sky at four infrared wavelengths with greatly improved sensitivity and spatial resolution compared to its pre…
