TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported WFC3 spectroscopy of the giant planets HD 209458b and XO-1b in transit, using spatial scanning mode for maximum photon-collecting efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a highly uniform survey of the near-Earth object (NEO) population at thermal infrared wavelengths ranging from 3 to 22 μm, allowing them to refine estimates of their numbers, sizes, and albedos.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water vapour absorption in the clear atmosphere of a Neptune-sized exoplanet
Jonathan Fraine,Jonathan Fraine,Jonathan Fraine,Drake Deming,Drake Deming,Björn Benneke,Heather Knutson,Andrés Jordán,Néstor Espinoza,Nikku Madhusudhan,A. Wilkins,Kamen O. Todorov +11 more
TL;DR: Observations of the transmission spectrum of the exoplanet HAT-P-11b from the optical wavelength range to the infrared indicate that the planetary atmosphere is predominantly clear down to an altitude corresponding to about 1 millibar, and sufficiently rich in hydrogen to have a large scale height.
