On the Utility of Transmission Color Analysis I: Differentiating Super-Earths and Sub-Neptunes

Kristin S. Sotzen, Kevin B. Stevenson, Erin M. May +9

The majority of exoplanets found to date have been discovered via the transit method, and transmission spectroscopy represents the primary method of studying these distant worlds.…

The Emission Spectrum of the Hot Jupiter WASP-79b from HST/WFC3

Trevor O. Foote, Nikole K. Lewis, Brian M. Kilpatrick +12

Here we present a thermal emission spectrum of WASP-79b, obtained via Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 G141 observations as part of the PanCET program. As we did not obse…

Transmission spectroscopy with VLT FORS2: a featureless spectrum for the low-density transiting exoplanet WASP-88b

Petros Spyratos, Nikolay Nikolov, John Southworth +10

We present ground-based optical transmission spectroscopy of the low-density hot Jupiter WASP-88b covering the wavelength range 4413-8333 Å with the FORS2 spectrograph on the Very…

Pseudo-2D Modelling of Heat Redistribution Through H Thermal Dissociation/Recombination: Consequences for Ultra-Hot Jupiters

Alexander Roth, Benjamin Drummond, Eric Hébrard +3

Thermal dissociation and recombination of molecular hydrogen, H_2, in the atmospheres of ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) has been shown to play an important role in global heat redistrib…

HST PanCET Program: A Complete Near-UV to Infrared Transmission Spectrum for the Hot Jupiter WASP-79b

Alexander D. Rathcke, Ryan J. MacDonald, Joanna K. Barstow +12

We present a new optical transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-79b. We observed three transits with the STIS instrument mounted on HST, spanning 0.3 - 1.0 um. Combining the…

ACCESS: An optical transmission spectrum of the high-gravity, hot Jupiter HAT-P-23b

Ian C. Weaver, Mercedes López-Morales, Munazza K. Alam +11

We present a new ground-based visible transmission spectrum of the high-gravity, hot Jupiter HAT-P-23b, obtained as part of the ACCESS project. We derive the spectrum from five tra…
