1. 1. Spectroscopic characterization of transiting exoplanets : A study of the possibility to detect atmospheres around exoplanets using SIMPLE

   University essay from Observationell astrofysik

   Author : Pierre Waldén; Erik Aronson; [2011]
   Keywords : exoplanet; atmosphere; spectrum; extra solar planet; spectroscopy; SIMPLE; E-ELT; ESO; spectrometer; telescope; spectral features; noise; signal to noise; S N; planet; star; red dwarf; atmospheric features; Super-Earth; Earth-like;

   Abstract : This report describes simulations of observations with the near-infrared high-resolution spectrometer SIMPLE that is proposed to the ESO telescope E-ELT. We simulate M4 and G2 stars with transiting Earth-like planets and the goal is to distinguish spectral features originating from the atmosphere of the exoplanet. READ MORE

3. 2. Modelling reflected polarized light from exoplanetary atmospheres

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

   Author : Erik Aronson; [2011]
   Keywords : polarized light; polarization; atmosphere; spectrum; EXO planet; extra solar planet; planet; star; atmospheric features;

   Abstract : I present numerical simulations of intensity and degree of polarization of light reflected by Earth-like exoplanets. The results are presented as a function of wavelength, and for a few different phase angles and a few different points on the planet. READ MORE
