Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)
- G. Ricker, J. Winn, +55 authors J. Villasenor
- Geology, Environmental Science
- Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation
- 1 May 2009
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS ) will search for planets transiting bright and nearby stars. TESS has been selected by NASA for launch in 2017 as an Astrophysics Explorer mission.… Expand
THE CLIMATE OF HD 189733b FROM FOURTEEN TRANSITS AND ECLIPSES MEASURED BY SPITZER
- E. Agol, N. Cowan, +4 authors D. Charbonneau
- Physics
- 26 July 2010
We present observations of six transits and six eclipses of the transiting planet system HD 189733 taken with the Spitzer Space Telescope's Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) at 8 μm, as well as a… Expand
Detection of a transit of the super-Earth 55 Cancri e with warm Spitzer
- B.-O. Demory, M. Gillon, +12 authors S. Udry
- Physics
- 2 May 2011
We report on the detection of a transit of the super-Earth 55 Cnc e with warm Spitzer in IRAC’s 4.5 μm band. Our MCMC analysis includes an extensive modeling of the systematic effects affecting warm… Expand
MOLECULAR SIGNATURES IN THE NEAR-INFRARED DAYSIDE SPECTRUM OF HD 189733b
- M. Swain, G. Vasisht, +5 authors P. Deroo
- Physics
- 10 December 2008
We have measured the dayside spectrum of HD 189733b between 1.5 and 2.5 μm using the NICMOS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. The emergent spectrum contains significant modulation, which we… Expand
A featureless transmission spectrum for the Neptune-mass exoplanet GJ 436b
- H. Knutson, B. Benneke, D. Deming, D. Homeier
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 1 October 2013
GJ 436b is a warm—approximately 800 kelvin—exoplanet that periodically eclipses its low-mass (half the mass of the Sun) host star, and is one of the few Neptune-mass planets that is amenable to… Expand
THERMAL PHASE VARIATIONS OF WASP-12b: DEFYING PREDICTIONS
- N. Cowan, P. Machálek, +5 authors J. Hora
- Physics
- 2 December 2011
We report Warm Spitzer full-orbit phase observations of WASP-12b at 3.6 and 4.5 μm. This extremely inflated hot Jupiter is thought to be overflowing its Roche lobe, undergoing mass loss and accretion… Expand
Water Vapor in the Spectrum of the Extrasolar Planet HD 189733b: 1. the Transit
- P. McCullough, N. Crouzet, D. Deming, N. Madhusudhan
- Physics
- 9 July 2014
We report near-infrared spectroscopy of the gas giant planet HD 189733b in transit. We used the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 (HST WFC3) with its G141 grism covering 1.1 um to 1.7 um and… Expand
Possible thermochemical disequilibrium in the atmosphere of the exoplanet GJ 436b
- K. B. Stevenson, J. Harrington, +7 authors N. B. Lust
- Chemistry, Medicine
- Nature
- 1 April 2010
The nearby extrasolar planet GJ 436b—which has been labelled as a ‘hot Neptune’—reveals itself by the dimming of light as it crosses in front of and behind its parent star as seen from Earth.… Expand
A spectrum of an extrasolar planet
- L. J. Richardson, D. Deming, K. Horning, S. Seager, J. Harrington
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 20 February 2007
Of the over 200 known extrasolar planets, 14 exhibit transits in front of their parent stars as seen from Earth. Spectroscopic observations of the transiting planets can probe the physical conditions… Expand
Improved precision on the radius of the nearby super-Earth 55 Cnc e
- M. Gillon, B.-O. Demory, +12 authors Observatory of the University of Geneva
- Physics
- 21 October 2011
We report on new transit photometry for the super-Earth 55 Cnc e obtained with Warm Spitzer/IRAC at 4.5µm. An individual analysis of these new data leads to a planet radius of 2.21 +0.15 −0.16 R⊕, in… Expand
