The Arizona-Cfa-Catolica-Carnegie Exoplanet Spectroscopy Survey, ACCESS, is a multi-institutional collaboration initiated in 2014 and aimed at exploring the optical (0.35 – 1.0 μm) properties of exoplanet atmospheres using the technique of transmission spectroscopy.
To date, ACCESS has gathered over 40 transits using the IMACS multi-object spectrograph on the 6.5-m Magellan Baade Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, which is allowing us to put interesting constraints on the nature of exoplanet atmospheres from super-Earths to hot-Jupiters.
Our team is composed of scientists from different institutions around the world. The ACCESS team is composed of:- Daniel Apai, Co-PI (University of Arizona)
- Alex Bixel (University of Arizona)
- Néstor Espinoza (Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie)
- Jonathan Fortney (University of California Santa Cruz)
- Jonathan Fraine (Space Telescope Science Institute)
- Andrés Jordán, Co-PI (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile)
- Nikole Lewis (Cornell University)
- Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Co-PI (Harvard-Smithsonian CfA)
- Chima McGruder (Harvard-Smithsonian CfA)
- David Osip (Carnegie Observartories at Washington)
- Benjamin Rackham (University of Arizona)
- Florian Rodler (European Southern Observatory)
