Scientific paper

We have recently obtained a transmission spectrum of the super-earth planet GJ1214b. These measurements were made from the ground in the red part of the optical using a new technique for eclipse spectroscopy that yields space-telescope quality data. The measurements provide important constraints on GJ1214b's atmospheric composition, but don't necessarily yield a completely definitive result as to its overall nature. I will discuss our measurements, their implications, and also future observations that could provide more insight to this interesting world.
