A Temperature and Abundance Retrieval Method for Exoplanet Atmospheres

A Temperature and Abundance Retrieval Method for Exoplanet Atmospheres

We present a new method to retrieve molecular abundances and temperature profiles from exoplanet atmosphere photometry and spectroscopy. We run millions of one-dimensional (1D) atmosphere models in order to cover the large range of allowed parameter space. In order to run such a large number of mode...
