Yesterday was an incredible day for publications in my research groups. One big surprise to me was that my own first, first-authored paper made its way onto arxiv last night! I’m so excited to share this work with all of you. #AAS235 arxiv.org/pdf/2001.01338…
One of the most well known potentially habitable exoplanets, TRAPPIST-1e, has been the subject of transit modeling simulations with JWST for the last few years. Thanks to the findings of these works, it was determined that only CO2 may be detected if the planet is “Earth-like”. 
Because of this reality, I wanted to know what it would take for an observatory to expand their detections beyond CO2 to include signatures of habitability/life such as CH4, H2O, O2, O3, and N2.
