Spectral determination of the colour and vertical structure of dark spots in Neptune's atmosphere
Patrick G. J. Irwin, Jack Dobinson, Arjuna James. Michael H. Wong +12
Previous observations of dark vortices in Neptune's atmosphere, such as Voyager-2's Great Dark Spot, have been made in only a few, broad-wavelength channels, which has hampered eff…
Testing 2D temperature models in Bayesian retrievals of atmospheric properties from hot Jupiter phase curves
Jingxuan Yang, Patrick G. J. Irwin, Joanna K. Barstow
Spectroscopic phase curves of transiting hot Jupiters are spectral measurements at multiple orbital phases, giving a set of disc-averaged spectra that probe multiple hemispheres. B…
Analysis of gaseous ammonia (NH) absorption in the visible spectrum of Jupiter - Update
Patrick G. J. Irwin, Neil Bowles, Ashwin S. Braude +5
An analysis of currently available ammonia (NH) visible-to-near-infrared gas absorption data was recently undertaken by Irwin et al. (Icarus, 302 (2018) 426) to help interpret…
A Hexagon in Saturn's Northern Stratosphere Surrounding the Emerging Summertime Polar Vortex
L. N. Fletcher, G. S. Orton, J. A. Sinclair +13
Saturn's polar stratosphere exhibits the seasonal growth and dissipation of broad, warm, vortices poleward of latitude, which are strongest in the summer and absent…
Detectability of biosignatures in anoxic atmospheres with the James Webb Space Telescope: A TRAPPIST-1e case study
Joshua Krissansen-Totton, Ryan Garland, Patrick Irwin +1
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may be capable of finding biogenic gases in the atmospheres of habitable exoplanets around low mass stars. Considerable attention has been giv…
The Transiting Exoplanet Community Early Release Science Program for JWST
Jacob L. Bean, Kevin B. Stevenson, Natalie M. Batalha +99
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) presents the opportunity to transform our understanding of planets and the origins of life by revealing the atmospheric compositions, structur…
