Jessica Spake,David K. Sing,David K. Sing,Thomas M. Evans,Antonija Oklopčić,Vincent Bourrier,Laura Kreidberg,Benjamin V. Rackham,Jonathan Irwin,David Ehrenreich,Aurélien Wyttenbach,Hannah R. Wakeford,Yifan Zhou,Katy L. Chubb,Nikolay Nikolov,Jayesh M. Goyal,Gregory W. Henry,Michael H. Williamson,Sarah D. Blumenthal,David R.

TL;DR: A detection of helium absorption at 10,833 Å on the exoplanet WASP-107b reveals that its atmosphere is extended and eroding, and demonstrates a new way to study upper exoplanetary atmospheres.
Journal ArticleDOI
DISCOVERY OF ROTATIONAL MODULATIONS IN THE PLANETARY-MASS COMPANION 2M1207b: INTERMEDIATE ROTATION PERIOD AND HETEROGENEOUS CLOUDS IN A LOW GRAVITY ATMOSPHERE
TL;DR: In this article, the rotational period of 2M1207b was measured using point-spread function-based photometry with a nearly photon-noise limited accuracy for both the primary and the secondary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accretion onto planetary mass companions of low-mass young stars
Yifan Zhou,Gregory J. Herczeg,Adam L. Kraus,Stanimir Metchev,Stanimir Metchev,Kelle L. Cruz,Kelle L. Cruz +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/WFC3 UVIS optical photometry to measure accretion rates onto three accreting objects, GSC−06214−00210 b, GQ Lup b, and DH Tau b, that are at the planet/brown dwarf boundary and are companions to solar mass stars.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Physical Model-based Correction for Charge Traps in the Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3 Near-IR Detector and Its Applications to Transiting Exoplanets and Brown Dwarfs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the TRIF Imaging Fellowship for image acquisition in the Space Telescope Science Institute (STS-14241) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) Earth and Space Science Fellowship Program (NESSPI).
Journal ArticleDOI
