The discovery of almost 2000 exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representative of the general population of planets in our Milky Way. The key scien

The ground-based H, K, and L-band absolute emission spectra of HD 209458b

Autor: Zellem, Robert T., Griffith, Caitlin A., Deroo, Pieter, Swain, Mark R., Waldmann, Ingo P.

Here we explore the capabilities of NASA's 3.0 meter Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) and SpeX spectrometer and the 5.08 meter Hale telescope with the TripleSpec spectrometer with near-infrared H, K, and L-band measurements of HD 209458b's secondar

On the Detection of Molecules in the Atmosphere of HD189733b using HST NICMOS Transmission Spectroscopy

Autor: Swain, Mark, Line, Michael, Deroo, Pieter

The HST/NICMOS transmission spectrum measurements of HD 189733b that suggest the detection of methane (CH$_{4}$) in an exoplanet atmosphere have been a source of significant controversy. With what is probably the best analyzed exoplanet spectroscopy

A Systematic Retrieval Analysis of Secondary Eclipse Spectra I: A Comparison of Atmospheric Retrieval Techniques

Autor: Line, Michael R., Wolf, Aaron, Zhang, Xi, Knutson, Heather, Kammer, Joshua, Ellison, Elias, Deroo, Pieter, Crisp, Dave, Yung, Yuk

Spectra of exoplanet atmospheres provide us the opportunity to improve our understanding of these objects just as remote sensing in our own solar system has increased our understanding of the solar system bodies. The challenge is to quantitatively de

Probing the extreme planetary atmosphere of WASP-12b

Autor: Swain, Mark, Deroo, Pieter, Tinetti, Giovanna, Hollis, Morgan, Tessenyi, Marcell, Line, Michael, Kawahara, Hajime, Fujii, Yuka, Showman, Adam, Yurchenko, Sergey

We report near-infrared measurements of the terminator region transmission spectrum and dayside emission spectrum of the exoplanet WASP-12b obtained using the HST WFC3 instrument. The disk-average dayside brightness temperature averages about 2900 K,
