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 III: A deep eclipse for LHS 1140c and a new Gaussian process method to account for correlated noise in individual pixels
Mark Fortune, Neale P. Gibson, Hannah Diamond-Lowe +14
Time-series photometry at mid-infrared wavelengths is becoming a common technique to search for atmospheres around rocky exoplanets. This method constrains the brightness temperatu…
Global flow regimes of hot Jupiters
C. Akın, K. Heng, J. M. Mendonça +2
In hot and ultra-hot Jupiters, stellar irradiation is a primary driver of atmospheric circulation and the wave structures that sustain it. We aim to investigate how variations in r…
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…
Enceladus and Jupiter as exoplanets: the opposition surge effect
K. Jones, B. M. Morris, K. Heng
Planets and moons in our Solar System have strongly peaked reflected light phase curves at opposition. In this work, we produce a modified reflected light phase curve model and use…
