Exoplanetary science is on the verge of an unprecedented revolution. The thousands of
exoplanets discovered over the past decade have most recently been supplemented by …

Abstract The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large (6.6 m), cold (< 50 K), infrared
(IR)-optimized space observatory that will be launched early in the next decade into orbit …

Thousands of exoplanets have now been discovered with a huge range of masses, sizes
and orbits: from rocky Earth-like planets to large gas giants grazing the surface of their host …

It is critical for James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) science that instrumental units are
converted to physical units. We detail the design of the JWST absolute flux calibration …

We present EXOFAST, a fast, robust suite of routines written in IDL that is designed to fit
exoplanetary transits and radial velocity variations simultaneously or separately and …

The presence of a Jupiter-mass companion to the star 51 Pegasi is inferred from
observations of periodic variations in the star's radial velocity. The companion lies only …

As the quality and quantity of astrophysical data continue to improve, the precision with
which certain astrophysical events can be timed becomes limited not by the data …

For extrasolar planets discovered using the radial velocity method, the spectral
characterization of the host star leads to a mass estimate of the star and subsequently of the …

Observations of exoplanet atmospheres have shown that aerosols, like in the solar system,
are common across a variety of temperatures and planet types. The formation and …

Until recently, infrared observations of exoplanetary atmospheres have typically been
interpreted using models that assumed solar elemental abundances. With the chemical …
