Reliable Detections of Atmospheres on Rocky Exoplanets with Photometric JWST Phase Curves

Reliable Detections of Atmospheres on Rocky Exoplanets with Photometric JWST Phase Curves

The prevalence of atmospheres on rocky planets is one of the major questions in exoplanet astronomy, but there are currently no published unambiguous detections of atmospheres on any rocky exoplanets. The MIRI instrument on JWST can measure thermal emission from tidally locked rocky exoplanets orbit...
