JWST-TST DREAMS: Quartz Clouds in the Atmosphere of WASP-17b
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Clouds are prevalent in many of the exoplanet atmospheres that have been observed to date. For transiting exoplanets, we know if clouds are present because they mute spectral features and cause wavelength-dependent scattering. While the exact composition

Constraining Exoplanet Mass from Transmission Spectroscopy [PDF]
Science, 2013 Weighing Up Exoplanets The mass of a planet is important to know, but it is difficult to determine for an exoplanet. If a transmission spectrum of an exoplanet is available, de Wit and Seager (p. 1473 ) show that it is possible to determine its mass based on the properties of its ...

Detection of Healthcare-Related Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase-Producing Escherichia coli Transmission Events Using Combined Genetic and Phenotypic Epidemiology. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Since the year 2000 there has been a sharp increase in the prevalence of healthcare-related infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli. However, the high community prevalence of ESBL-producing E. coli isolates

High-contrast Doppler-free transmission spectroscopy [PDF]
Optics Letters, 1986 By applying Doppler-free saturated absorption spectroscopy in the regime of high integrated sample absorption, high-contrast Doppler-free laser transmission signals can be obtained as demonstrated in experiments on the sodium D lines. Natural linewidth background-free signals are observed.

Violet phosphorus transmission and photoconductance spectroscopy
Nanotechnology, 2023 Abstract Violet phosphorus is a semiconducting allotrope of phosphorus with a layered crystalline structure consisting of orthogonally oriented layers of phosphorus chains composed of P2[P8]P2[P9] repeating units. Here, we report optical transmission spectroscopy and photoconductivity measurements of exfoliated flakes of violet ...

ExoGemS Detection of a Metal Hydride in an Exoplanet Atmosphere at High Spectral Resolution
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Exoplanet atmosphere studies are often enriched by synergies with brown dwarf analogs. However, many key molecules commonly seen in brown dwarfs have yet to be confirmed in exoplanet atmospheres.
