Probing the extreme planetary atmosphere of WASP-12b
We report near-infrared measurements of the terminator region transmission spectrum and dayside emission spectrum of the exoplanet WASP-12b obtained using the HST WFC3 instrument. The disk-average dayside brightness temperature averages about 2900 K, peaking to 3200 K around 1.46 μm. Both the dayside and terminator region spectra can be explained in terms of opacity due to the metal hydrides Cr...
متن کاملULTRACAM z′-band detection of the secondary eclipse of WASP-12b
We present z′-band secondary eclipse photometry of the highly irradiated hot Jupiter WASP12b using ULTRACAM on the 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope. We measure a decrease in flux of δ = 0.130 ± 0.013 per cent during the passage of the planet behind the star, which is significantly deeper than the previous measurement at this wavelength (0.082± 0.015 per cent). Our secondary eclipse is best fitt...
متن کاملDefying bacteriophages
Adaptations by hosts in response to parasitism are generally believed to reduce the susceptibility of the adapted individual. However, recent work on Escherichia coli showed that bacteria can fight deadly phage attacks by committing altruistic suicide upon infection, in order to prevent parasite transmission to nearby relatives. Here, we compare the efficiency of suicidal host defense with indi...
متن کاملGenetic Variations of IL-12B, IL-12Rβ1, IL-12Rβ2 in Behcet's Disease and VKH Syndrome
PURPOSE To investigate the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of three genes (IL-12B, IL-12Rβ1 and IL-12Rβ2) in Behcet's disease (BD) and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome in a Chinese Han population. METHODS A total of 806 BD cases, 820 VKH patients, and 1600 healthy controls were involved in this study. The first investigation included 400 BD patients, 400 VKH cases, a...
متن کاملHST hot Jupiter transmission spectral survey: evidence for aerosols and lack of TiO in the atmosphere of WASP-12b
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) optical transmission spectra of the transiting hot Jupiter WASP-12b, taken with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) instrument. The resulting spectra cover the range 2900 to 10300 Å which we combined with archival WFC3 spectra and Spitzer photometry to cover the full optical to infrared wavelength regions. With high spatial resolution, we are ...
