1 Carbon- rich Exoplanets Nikku Madhusudhan Princeton University Exploring Strange New Worlds: From Giant Planets to Super Earths Flagstaff, AZ. May 04, 2011
2 Overview 1. WASP-12b and the need for a second dimension for atmospheric characterization of exoplanets" 2. The new territory of carbon-rich (C/O > 1) planets: formation, interiors, atmospheres" 3. New observations in the pre-jwst era"
3 Surprises in the dayside atmosphere of hot Jupiter WASP- 12b A high C/O raho and weak thermal inversion in the atmosphere of exoplanet WASP- 12b Nikku Madhusudhan (MIT/Princeton), Joseph Harrington (UCF), Kevin Stevenson (UCF), Sarah Nymeyer (UCF), Christopher Campo (UCF), Peter Wheatley (WASP), Drake Deming (NASA GSFC), Jasmina Blecic (UCF), Ryan Hardy (UCF), Nate Lust (UCF), David Anderson (WASP), Andrew Collier- Cameron (WASP), Christopher BriV (UCF), William Bowman (UCF), Leslie Hebb (WASP), Coel Hellier (WASP), Pierre Maxted (WASP), Don Pollacco (WASP), Richard West (WASP), 2011, Nature, 64, 469

11 Need for a Second Dimension
12 Follow- up Required!! New observahons are crihcal to confirm the C/O>1. New absorbers that we haven t thought about. Atmospheric Variability in WASP- 12b. Does the atmospheric composihon of WASP- 12b reflect its interior composihon? Photochemistry?

21 Summary 1. The C/O ratio offers a second dimension for atmospheric characterization of exoplanets." 2. Carbon-rich (C/O > 1) planets present a new territory in planetary formation, interiors, and atmospheres." 3. Near-IR observations with current instruments have immense potential to constrain C/O ratios in the pre-jwst era. "
