Description:
Transmission spectroscopy is one of our primary tools for measuring the structure and composition of exoplanet atmospheres, especially for close-in exoplanets. During an exoplanet transit part of the host stars' light passes through the planet's atmosphere imparting atomic and molecular absorption features on top of the stellar spectrum.
