The Optical and near-Infrared Transmission Spectrum of the Super-Earth Gj1214b: Further Evidence for a Metal-Rich Atmosphere

The Optical and near-Infrared Transmission Spectrum of the Super-Earth Gj1214b: Further Evidence for a Metal-Rich Atmosphere

We present an investigation of the transmission spectrum of the 6.5 M [subscript ⊕] planet GJ 1214b based on new ground-based observations of transits of the planet in the optical and near-infrared, and on previously published data. Observations with the VLT + FORS and Magellan + MMIRS using the tec...
