Last month I was at the meeting on Exoplanet atmospheres in Heidelberg (http://www.mpia-hd.mpg.de/exoplanets2012/). The conference took place at the MPIA in their new and shiny…
A few weeks ago at the Heidelberg meeting, David Sing presented the spectrum of WASP-12b between 300 nm and 600 nm (near-UV to red). This…
So, after the transit of Venus, back to other planetary transits far, far away. Tomorrow, the Hubble Space Telescope will turn to WASP-17, to measure…
