JWST Transiting Exoplanet Scientists


Transiting Exoplanet Meetings

Enabling Transiting Exoplanet Science with JWST

This workshop will provide a forum for the transiting exoplanet community to learn about and discuss the capabilities of JWST to characterize transiting exoplanets. Talks will inform potential observers about the cutting edge science that JWST will enable. Discussion sessions will allow for community dialog on how best to enable transiting exoplanet science with JWST. As JWST proposal opportunities approach, this workshop will serve as an important opportunity to understand how JWST will impact the field of transiting exoplanet science.

Dates: November 16-18, 2015

Where: Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI)

NASA's flagship observatories have provided many successes in transiting exoplanet exploration. These missions, like Hubble and Spitzer, have directly led to new discoveries of transiting exoplanets, their properties and has enhanced knowledge of exoplanetary atmospheres. Among the many discoveries are:

  • Confirmation of secondary eclipses
  • Identification of molecules and atoms
  • Primary eclipse detection
  • Day-Night temperature gradients
  • Atmospheric escape

Spitzer IRAC High Precision Photometry

The New Capabilities Provided by JWST

JWST is ~ 100 times more powerful than the Hubble and Spitzer observatories. It has greater sensitivity, higher spatial resolution in the infrared, and significantly higher spectral resolution in the mid infrared.
