HST Proposal ID #11744. Cycle 17

Physics

Scientific paper

This proposal outlines steps for improving our ability to model the atmospheres of extrasolar planets -- in particular modeling the transmission of stellar host flux through the upper atmospheres of hot-Jupiters. Hubble will soon be in a position to detect atmospheric metals and molecules through observations using the new Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and the soon to be repaired STIS and ACS. In order to make more realistic predictions of the transmission spectrum, we propose to construct multi-dimensional radiative transfer models for two important regions of the atmosphere probed by transit spectroscopy -- the upper photosphere and the extended, low-pressure, exosphere.;
