Empirical Limb-darkening Coefficients and Transit Parameters of Known Exoplanets from TESS

Jayshil A. Patel et al.

Summary: Although TESS is primarily designed to search for new transiting exoplanets, its data can be used to study known systems in more detail. By analyzing the transit light curves of 176 known exoplanetary systems observed by TESS, we obtain empirical limb-darkening coefficients (LDCs) and updated transit parameters. Comparing our findings with theoretical predictions, we observe significant discrepancies when using tabulated TESS LDCs. However, using the SPAM algorithm can reduce these discrepancies. We also find that no current methodology is adequate to explain the limb-darkening effect for stars cooler than approximately 5000 K.

Analysis of a JWST NIRSpec Lab Time Series: Characterizing Systematics, Recovering Exoplanet Transit Spectroscopy, and Constraining a Noise Floor

Zafar Rustamkulov et al.

Summary: This study utilizes lab-measured data for injection-recovery tests to analyze the performance of the NIRSpec PRISM mode on JWST in observing exoplanets, identifying systematic noise sources that can be effectively detrended. The results show that the noise floor of the detector is consistent with expectations, which is promising for future observations of challenging targets with faint atmospheric signatures.

Astrometric and Wavelength Calibration of the NIRSpec Instrument during Commissioning using a model-based approach

Nora Lutzgendorf et al.

Summary: The NIRSpec instrument for JWST is a versatile near-infrared spectrograph that can operate in different observing modes and apertures. By using calibration data acquired through a subset of NIRSpec apertures, a highly realistic model of the instrument's optical geometry can be derived for the entire field of view, allowing accurate computation of light paths within the spectrograph for all apertures and observing modes. This instrument model serves as the basis for extracting wavelength-calibrated spectra from any NIRSpec exposure.

Optical throughput and sensitivity of JWST NIRSpec

Giovanna Giardino et al.

Summary: To achieve its scientific goals, the NIRSpec on the Webb Space Telescope needs to meet demanding photon-conversion efficiency (PCE) requirements. In-flight measurements of PCE have been obtained during calibration activities, and the modeling of light losses in the NIRSpec slit devices has been updated. The measured PCE of the fixed-slit and multi-object spectroscopy modes meets or exceeds pre-launch model predictions, but there are differences with the model in the integral-field spectroscopy mode. Additionally, the slit-losses at shorter wavelengths are significantly decreased thanks to the high quality of the JWST point-spread function.

Critical Analysis of Tess Transit Photometric Data: Improved Physical Properties for Five Exoplanets

Suman Saha et al.

Summary: The study presents improved physical parameters for four hot Jupiters and one hot Neptune by performing critical analysis of TESS time-series observations. The use of wavelet denoising and Gaussian process regression techniques has resulted in more accurate values compared to earlier works due to better quality TESS data free from atmospheric noise interference.
