Titan solar occultation observations reveal transit spectra of a hazy world

Fortney, Jonathan J.; Maltagliati, Luca; Marley, Mark S. +1 more

High altitude clouds and hazes are integral to understanding exoplanet observations, and are proposed to explain observed featureless transit spectra. However, it is difficult to make inferences from these data because of the need to disentangle effects of gas absorption from haze extinction. Here, we turn to the quintessential hazy world -- Titan…
