Kinetic and photochemical disequilibrium in the potentially carbon-rich atmosphere of the warm-Jupiter WASP-69b
Nidhi Bangera, Christiane Helling, Gloria Guilluy +5
High-resolution transmission spectroscopy of the warm gas-giant WASP-69b has revealed the presence of H2O, CO, CH4, NH3, and C2H2 in its atmosphere. This study investigates the imp…
Gen TSO: A General JWST Simulator for Exoplanet Times-series Observations
Patricio E. Cubillos
Gen TSO is a noise calculator specifically tailored to simulate James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) time-series observations of exoplanets. Gen TSO enables the estimation of signal-t…
CUTE reveals escaping metals in the upper atmosphere of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-189b
A. G. Sreejith, Kevin France, Luca Fossati +12
Ultraviolet observations of Ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs), exoplanets with temperatures over 2000\,K, provide us with an opportunity to investigate if and how atmospheric escape shapes…
The GAPS Programme at TNG XXXIX -- Multiple molecular species in the atmosphere of the warm giant planet WASP-80 b unveiled at high resolution with GIANO-B
Ilaria Carleo, Paolo Giacobbe, Gloria Guilluy +28
Detections of molecules in the atmosphere of gas giant exoplanets allow us to investigate the physico-chemical properties of the atmospheres. Their inferred chemical composition is…
Spitzer Dayside Emission of WASP-34b
Ryan C. Challener, Joseph Harrington, Patricio E. Cubillos +2
We analyzed two eclipse observations of the low-density transiting, likely grazing, exoplanet WASP-34b with the Spitzer Space Telescope's InfraRed Array Camera (IRAC) using two tec…
Longitudinally Resolved Spectral Retrieval (ReSpect) of WASP-43b
Patricio E. Cubillos, Dylan Keating, Nicolas B. Cowan +6
Thermal phase variations of short period planets indicate that they are not spherical cows: day-to-night temperature contrasts range from hundreds to thousands of degrees, rivaling…
An open-source Bayesian atmospheric radiative transfer (BART) code: III. Initialization, atmospheric profile generator, post-processing routines, and application to exoplanet WASP-43b
