Determining Empirical Stellar Masses and Radii Using Transits and Gaia Parallaxes as Illustrated by Spitzer Observations of KELT-11b
Thomas G. Beatty, Daniel J. Stevens, Karen A. Collins +8
Using the Spitzer Space Telescope, we observed a transit at 3.6um of KELT-11b (Pepper et al. 2017). We also observed three partial transits from the ground. We simultaneously fit t…
Near-Infrared Emission Spectrum of WASP-103b using Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Camera 3
Kimberly M. S. Cartier, Thomas G. Beatty, Ming Zhao +8
We present here our observations and analysis of the dayside emission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-103b. We observed WASP-103b during secondary eclipse using two visits of the…
Prospects for Characterizing the Atmosphere of Proxima Centauri b
Laura Kreidberg, Abraham Loeb
The newly detected Earth-mass planet in the habitable zone of Proxima Centauri could potentially host life - if it has an atmosphere that supports surface liquid water. We show tha…
Spitzer Phase Curve Constraints for WASP-43b at 3.6 and 4.5 microns
Kevin B. Stevenson, Michael R. Line, Jacob L. Bean +6
Previous measurements of heat redistribution efficiency (the ability to transport energy from a planet's highly irradiated dayside to its eternally dark nightside) show considerabl…
The Impact of Non-Uniform Thermal Structure on the Interpretation of Exoplanet Emission Spectra
Y. Katherina Feng, Michael R. Line, Jonathan J. Fortney +4
The determination of atmospheric structure and molecular abundances of planetary atmospheres via spectroscopy involves direct comparisons between models and data. While varying in…
HELIOS: An Open-source, GPU-accelerated Radiative Transfer Code For Self-consistent Exoplanetary Atmospheres
Matej Malik, Luc Grosheintz, João M. Mendonça +10
We present the open-source radiative transfer code named HELIOS, which is constructed for studying exoplanetary atmospheres. In its initial version, the model atmospheres of HELIOS…
No Thermal Inversion and a Solar Water Abundance for the Hot Jupiter HD209458b from HST WFC3 Emission Spectroscopy
Michael R. Line, Kevin B. Stevenson, Jacob Bean +6
The nature of the vertical thermal structure of hot Jupiter atmospheres is one of the key questions raised by the characterization of transiting exoplanets over the last decade. Th…
Transiting Exoplanet Studies and Community Targets for JWST's Early Release Science Program
Kevin B. Stevenson, Nikole K. Lewis, Jacob L. Bean +49
The James Webb Space Telescope will revolutionize transiting exoplanet atmospheric science due to its capability for continuous, long-duration observations and its larger collectin…
