These are their stories. {Duh Dun}.    \n\n<LINK> <LINK>', 'Last year, @kevinbstevenson wrote a paper introducing the concept of Planetary Infrared Excess, or PIE, as a novel method to characterize the atmospheres of transiting and non-transiting planets alike. https://t.co/1TEds1UUnW', 'Exoplanets are MUCH cooler than stars. Fact. Because of this planets and stars emit light with a much different spectrum, and the PIE technique uses broad wavelength spectra to uniquely resolve both light sources, despite them being spatially unresolved. https://t.co/ewLt9MDcHn', 'In collaboration with @kevinbstevenson @mayorgalc @NorBidTheStars @_astronomay @izenplanet @mommascientist, we set out to determine how well the PIE technique will work to study the atmospheres of hot Jupiters.', 'First, we cooked up a PIE model to investigate whether it’s possible to retrieve information about exoplanet atmospheres while simultaneously modeling the light emitted by the star and the much fainter planet. https://t.co/sp41I845Wd', 'Second, we examined whether or not stellar parameters can masquerade as planetary parameters or vice versa (i.e., are there significant planet-star degeneracies?). With broad enough wavelength coverage, we found the two sources to be separable and not degenerate. https://t.co/77oGnbRSPR', 'We then repeated our analyses using different JWST instruments that cover different wavelength ranges and using different exposure times to identify the optimal use of JWST time/data. We found that a combination of NIRISS+NIRSpec+MIRI performs best. https://t.co/7KMbmWE1dE', 'Then we forgot everything we knew about the planet’s radius and tried to see if we could constrain it using PIE. Again, broad wavelength data using all three instruments is optimal. https://t.co/tNogMy58nd', 'All in all, it looks like PIE is on the menu for follow-up study and validation using JWST ERS and Cycle 1 observations!\n\nFor more details including how we handled potential pitfalls, like exozodi dust and absolute flux calibration, check out the paper on the arxiv nearest you. https://t.co/Sy4Jgr3rAL', ""And here's a link to the accepted version of the paper on  arxiv: https://t.co/osFAg7Rhzw https://t.co/3JnlHci6Xf""]",21,10,2156
