Hot Rocks Survey IV: Emission from LTT 3780 b is consistent with a bare rock
Natalie H. Allen, Néstor Espinoza, Hannah Diamond-Lowe +19
It is an open question whether small planets around M dwarfs are able to maintain atmospheres. The Hot Rocks Survey aims to address this question by observing 9 rocky exoplanets or…
Hot Rocks Survey II: The thermal emission of TOI-1468 b reveals a hot bare rock
E. A. Meier Valdés, B. -O. Demory, H. Diamond-Lowe +17
Terrestrial exoplanets orbiting nearby small, cool stars known as M dwarfs are well suited for atmospheric characterisation. Given the strong XUV irradiation from M dwarf host star…
Hot Rocks Survey I : A possible shallow eclipse for LHS 1478 b
Prune C. August, Lars A. Buchhave, Hannah Diamond-Lowe +18
M dwarf systems offer an opportunity to study terrestrial exoplanetary atmospheres due to their small size and cool temperatures. However, the extreme conditions imposed by these h…
Reliable Detections of Atmospheres on Rocky Exoplanets with Photometric JWST Phase Curves
Mark Hammond, Claire Marie Guimond, Tim Lichtenberg +9
The prevalence of atmospheres on rocky planets is one of the major questions in exoplanet astronomy, but there are currently no published unambiguous detections of atmospheres on a…
