Bayesian analysis of Juno/JIRAM's NIR observations of Europa
Ishan Mishra, Nikole Lewis, Jonathan Lunine +4
Juno spacecraft's spectrometer JIRAM recently observed the moon Europa in the 2-5 μm wavelength region. Here we present analysis of the average spectrum of a set of observations ne…
Evidence of a Clear Atmosphere for WASP-62b: the Only Known Transiting Gas Giant in the JWST Continuous Viewing Zone
Munazza K. Alam, Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Ryan J. MacDonald +12
Exoplanets with cloud-free, haze-free atmospheres at the pressures probed by transmission spectroscopy represent a valuable opportunity for detailed atmospheric characterization an…
The White Dwarf Opportunity: Robust Detections of Molecules in Earth-like Exoplanet Atmospheres with the James Webb Space Telescope
Lisa Kaltenegger, Ryan J. MacDonald, Thea Kozakis +4
The near-term search for life beyond the solar system currently focuses on transiting planets orbiting small M dwarfs, and the challenges of detecting signs of life in their atmosp…
Why is it so Cold in Here?: Explaining the Cold Temperatures Retrieved from Transmission Spectra of Exoplanet Atmospheres
Ryan J. MacDonald, Jayesh M. Goyal, Nikole K. Lewis
Transmission spectroscopy is a powerful technique widely used to probe exoplanet terminators. Atmospheric retrievals of transmission spectra are enabling comparative studies of exo…
Understanding the atmospheric properties and chemical composition of the ultra-hot Jupiter HAT-P-7b II. Mapping the effects of gas kinetics
Karan Molaverdikhani, Christiane Helling, Ben W. P. Lew +5
The atmospheres of ultra-hot Jupiters are commonly considered to be at thermochemical equilibrium. We aim to provide disequilibrium chemistry maps for a global understanding of the…
