The Transit Light Source Effect: False Spectral Features and Incorrect Densities for M-dwarf Transiting Planets

Volume: 853, Issue: 2, Pages: 122 - 122
Published: Jan 30, 2018
Abstract
Transmission spectra are differential measurements that utilize stellar illumination to probe transiting exoplanet atmospheres. Any spectral difference between the illuminating light source and the disk-integrated stellar spectrum due to starspots and faculae will be imprinted in the observed transmission spectrum. However, few constraints exist for the extent of photospheric heterogeneities in M dwarfs. Here we model spot and faculae covering...
