The trained model can take pixels from any spectral scene to infer an atmospheric transmission profile and automatically perform atmospheric correction. At the core of the approach is a suite of ...
Spectral observations of a star with a featureless continuum, such as a white dwarf, provide a method of determining atmospheric absorption along the line of sight to the star. Through fitting a ...
This work features simulations for a notional transit spectroscopy mission and compares two cases for instrument spectral coverage (wavelength coverage from 0.5–2.5 μm and 0.5–5 μm). The simulation is ...
Three distinct models for the recently discovered super-Earth (masses 2–10 times that of Earth) planet GJ 1214b that are consistent with its mass and radius have been suggested. Breaking the ...
The transmission spectrum follows an effective extinction cross section with a power-law of index alpha, with the slope of the transmission spectrum constraining the quantity alphaT = -3528+/-660 ...
We present an optical to near-infrared transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-1b, based on HST observations, covering the spectral regime from 0.29 to 1.027{\mu}m with STIS, which is ...
