STARRY: Analytic Occultation Light Curves
Rodrigo Luger, Eric Agol, Daniel Foreman-Mackey +3
We derive analytic, closed form, numerically stable solutions for the total flux received from a spherical planet, moon or star during an occultation if the specific intensity map…
Atomic iron and titanium in the atmosphere of the exoplanet KELT-9b
H. Jens Hoeijmakers, David Ehrenreich, Kevin Heng +10
The chemical composition of an exoplanet is a key ingredient in constraining its formation history. Iron is the most abundant transition metal, but has never been directly detected…
Exo-Milankovitch Cycles II: Climates of G-dwarf Planets in Dynamically Hot Systems
Russell Deitrick, Rory Barnes, Cecilia Bitz +6
Using an energy balance model with ice sheets, we examine the climate response of an Earth-like planet orbiting a G dwarf star and experiencing large orbital and obliquity variatio…
The Peculiar Atmospheric Chemistry of KELT-9b
Daniel Kitzmann, Kevin Heng, Paul B. Rimmer +6
The atmospheric temperatures of the ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-9b straddle the transition between gas giants and stars, and therefore between two traditionally distinct regimes of atmo…
Life Beyond the Solar System: Remotely Detectable Biosignatures
Shawn Domagal-Goldman, Nancy Y. Kiang, Niki Parenteau +38
For the first time in human history, we will soon be able to apply the scientific method to the question "Are We Alone?" The rapid advance of exoplanet discovery, planetary systems…
