I spent quite a bit of time looking at spectra of stars and galaxies for Galaxy Zoo. But I never saw one for a planet. JGP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGP Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 First time for everything. Lots of excitement about it from what I gather. Really going to help suss out goldilock planets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really going to help suss out goldilock planets. I am very excited! This is next level stuff. I was excited with Voyager and Hubble but this will be astonishing. We will be able to see farther back into the early universe. They will be looking at planetary nebulae, supernova, galaxies with active galactic nucleus and planet hunting. I'm sure there will be quite a few interesting public science projects. JGP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen many exoplanet spectra and they're all trash The exoplanet atmosphere community has been in a holding pattern for a decade waiting for JWST, it should be really exciting to see the improved resolution!

I was looking online at a few. They are garbage. How are you involved with the exoplanet community? Are you doing research? Edit: I just looked at your website! Question answered. Hey!

I'm leaving academia now, however, and looking for roles in science communication. I love research, I just didn't really want to do the whole professor route.

Starkess Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 NASA announced today what the images will be on Tuesday -- Carina Nebula, WASP-96 b spectrum, Southern Ring Nebula, Stephan's Quintet, and SMACS 0723. Five (!) is more than I was expecting, I cannot wait! Should be really cool! JGP, Spockydog and LynnS 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five (!) is more than I was expecting, I cannot wait! Should be really cool! A couple of questions: - What should we expect to see in the spectrum for WASP 96 b? I'm assuming some clear absorption and emission lines rather than just noise. - What are we looking at in the photos of SMACS 0723? It looks like an outer ring of starforming galaxies and a lot of very distant galaxies far into the redshift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
