EUCLID : Dark Universe Probe and Microlensing planet Hunter

open access: yes, 2010
There is a remarkable synergy between requirements for Dark Energy probes by cosmic shear measurements and planet hunting by microlensing. Employing weak and strong gravitational lensing to trace and detect the distribution of matter on cosmic and ...

Helium Depletion in Escaping Atmospheres of Sub-Neptunes: A Signature of Primary-to-secondary Transition

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Short-period sub-Neptunes are common in extrasolar systems. These sub-Neptunes are generally thought to have primary atmospheres of protoplanetary-disk gas origin.

A Metal-poor Atmosphere with a Hot Interior for a Young Sub-Neptune Progenitor: JWST/NIRSpec Transmission Spectrum of V1298 Tau b

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present the JWST/NIRSpec G395H transmission spectrum of the young (10–30 Myr) transiting planet V1298 Tau b (9.85 ± 0.35 R _⊕ , T _eq  = 670 K). Combined Hubble Space Telescope and JWST observations reveal a haze-free, H/He-dominated atmosphere with a

Stellar Spectroscopy during Exoplanet Transits: Dissecting fine structure across stellar surfaces

open access: yes, 2014
Differential spectroscopy during exoplanet transits permits to reconstruct spectra of small stellar surface portions that successively become hidden behind the planet. The center-to-limb behavior of stellar line shapes, asymmetries and wavelength shifts will enable detailed tests of 3-dimensional hydrodynamic models of stellar atmospheres, such that ...

The Uncertainty in Water Mass Fraction of Wet Planets

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Planets with masses between Earth and Neptune often have radii that imply the presence of volatiles, suggesting that water may be abundant in their interiors.
