Generating JWST transiting exoplanet time series data-set
Abstract
To prepare JWST observations of transiting exoplanets, we have developed a generator of time series spectra from exoplanet(s)-star systems as the planet orbit its host star. When coupled with a telescope-instrument simulator, it generates representative sets of data, which are used to optimize data reduction methods, retrieval methods and to identify the impact of various effects (limb darkening, 3D versus 1D exoplanet models). One of the first applications is the simulation of JWST observations of the WASP-43b exoplanet with the MIRI instrument in slitless low-resolution mode.
