exoTEDRF: An EXOplanet Transit and Eclipse DataReduction Framework
Michael Radica
Abstract
Since the start of science operations in July 2022, JWST has delivered groundbreaking results on a regular basis.For spectroscopic studies of exoplanet atmospheres the process of extracting robust and reliable atmosphere spectra from the raw JWST observations is critical.Especially as the field pushes to detect the signatures of secondary atmospheres on rocky Earth-like planets it is imperative to ensure that the spectral features that drive atmosphere inferences are robust against the particular choices made during the data reduction process.
