The ARCiS framework For Exoplanet Atmospheres: Modelling Philosophy and Retrieval

Aims: ARCiS, a novel code for the analysis of exoplanet transmission and emission spectra is presented. The aim of the modelling framework is to provide a tool able to link observations to physical models of exoplanet atmospheres.

EarthFinder Probe Mission Concept Study: Characterizing Nearby Stellar Exoplanet Systems With Earth-mass Analogs For Future Direct Imaging

EarthFinder is a NASA Astrophysics Probe mission concept selected for study as input to the 2020 Astrophysics National Academies Decadal Survey. The EarthFinder concept is based on a dramatic shift in our understanding of how PRV measurements should be made.
