Abstract:As part of the PanCET program, we have conducted a spectroscopic study of WASP-79b, an inflated hot Jupiter orbiting an F-type star in Eridanus with a period of 3.66 days. Building on the original WASP and TRAPPIST photometry of Smalley et al. (2012), we examine HST/WFC3 (1.125 -1.650 µm), Magellan/LDSS-3C (0.6 -1 µm) data, and Spitzer data (3.6 and 4.5 µm). Using data from all three instruments, we constrain the water abundance to be -2.20 ≤ log(H 2 O) ≤ -1.55. We present these results along with the results … Show more
“…Their retrieval results indicates the presence of H 2 O, Na, and FeH. Our retrieved water abundance is consistent with that from Sotzen et al (2020): (−2.20<log(H 2 O)<
