A Detection of Water in the Transmission Spectrum of the Hot Jupiter WASP-12b and Implications for its Atmospheric Composition

TL;DR: In this article, a near-infrared transmission spectrum for WASP-12b based on six transit observations with the Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Camera 3 was used to retrieve the atmospheric properties using the transmission spectrum and find strong evidence for water absorption.

A Framework for Prioritizing the TESS Planetary Candidates Most Amenable to Atmospheric Characterization

Eliza M.-R. Kempton, +46 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of analytic metrics, quantifying the expected signal-to-noise in transmission and thermal emission spectroscopy for a given planet, that will allow the top atmospheric characterization targets to be readily identified among the TESS planet candidates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamical theory driven west on CoRoT-2b

TL;DR: A peak in the infrared phase curve occurring after eclipse suggests a westward shift in the dayside hotspot of hot giant exoplanet CoRoT-2b, calling into question our understanding of atmospheric dynamics on hot gas giants as discussed by the authors.
