Transmission Spectroscopy of Hot Jupiters and Neptunes

该项目的目的是实现自动选择过境系外行星候选者进行透射光谱跟踪。该项目将开发一个系外行星大气拟合程序，以及分类新的透射光谱数据如何改善模型判别的指标。这项工作将成为由SPEARNET（系外行星大气光谱和光度测量网络）开发的整体自动化目标选择管道的核心组成部分。SPEARNET是一个英国和泰国合作的项目，它使用一个异构的远程观测网络来选择和跟踪系外行星凌日系统。

The aim of this project is to enable the automated selection oftransiting exoplanet candidates for transmission spectroscopy follow-up. This project willdevelop an exoplanet atmosphere fitting routine and also metrics that classify how newtransmission spectroscopy data improves model discrimination. This work will become acentral component within the overall automated target selection pipeline beingdeveloped by SPEARNET (Spectroscopy and Photometry of Exoplanetary AtmospheresNetwork). SPEARNET is a UK-Thai collaboration which is using a heterogeneous telescopenetwork to select and follow-up exoplanet transiting systems.
