from HST and Spitzer to JWST

A virtual meeting, March 9-12, 2021

Programme


The program will be organized around 5 sessions:

Session #1: Latest results on the characterisation of exoplanet atmospheres, from HST and Spitzer observations
Session #2: Novel methods developed to reduce JWST data from transiting exoplanets; a data challenge based around JWST/MIRI data is under consideration
Session #3: Are we ready for retrieval of exoplanet atmospheric properties from JWST data?
Session #4: Stellar characterisation and star - planet interactions
Session #5: Modelling exoplanet atmospheres
