Journal ArticleDOI
A map of the day–night contrast of the extrasolar planet HD 189733b
Heather A. Knutson,David Charbonneau,Lori E. Allen,Jonathan J. Fortney,Jonathan J. Fortney,Eric Agol,Nicolas B. Cowan,Adam P. Showman,Curtis S. Cooper,S. Thomas Megeath +9 more
TL;DR: Observations of HD 189733, the closest of these eclipsing planetary systems, over half an orbital period are reported, from which a ‘map’ of the distribution of temperatures is constructed, indicating that energy from the irradiated dayside is efficiently redistributed throughout the atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Thermal Emission from an Extrasolar Planet
David Charbonneau,Lori Allen,S. Thomas Megeath,Guillermo Torres,Roi Alonso,Timothy M. Brown,Ronald L. Gilliland,David W. Latham,Georgi Mandushev,Francis T. O'Donovan,Alessandro Sozzetti,Alessandro Sozzetti +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present Spitzer Space Telescope infrared photometric time series of the transiting extrasolar planet system TrES-1, which represents the first direct detection of photons emitted by a planet orbiting another star.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 3.6-8.0 μm Broadband Emission Spectrum of HD 209458b: Evidence for an Atmospheric Temperature Inversion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the strength of the bandpass-integrated thermal emission from the extrasolar planet HD 209458b at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 μm using the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) Colors of Young Stellar Objects
Lori E. Allen,Nuria Calvet,Paola D'Alessio,Bruno Merín,Lee Hartmann,S. Thomas Megeath,Robert A. Gutermuth,James Muzerolle,Judith L. Pipher,Philip C. Myers,Giovanni G. Fazio +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the infrared colors predicted by theoretical models of protostellar envelopes and protoplanetary disks with initial observations of young stellar objects made with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope.
Journal ArticleDOI
The 3.6-8.0 Micron Broadband Emission Spectrum of HD 209458b: Evidence for an Atmospheric Temperature Inversion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the strength of the bandpass-integrated thermal emission from the extrasolar planet HD 209458b at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 microns using the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope.
