NASA Science Mission Directorate C.2 Solar System Science solicits proposals for research, data analysis, data preservation, and tools that support investigations to help ascertain the content, origin, and evolution of

Spectral fits to TRAPPIST-1 e’s stellar-contamination-corrected transmission spectrum. Top: bestfitting forward models for three different partial pressures of N2 and CH4 (solid, dotted, and dashed colored lines) compared to a

White-light TRAPPIST-1 e JWST/NIRSpec PRISM transit light curves. (Top) Datapoints of the transit event (grey; binned at a cadence of 14-seconds) along with the best-fit transit plus systematics model (black;

An illustration of the adjusted telluric models for the solar and Titan spectra, where a 10% reduction from the best-fit model is applied to the solar spectrum and a 10%
