Description
With a 6.5-meter diameter primary mirror in space and a wavelength
coverage from the visible to the mid-infrared, the James Webb Space
Telescope (JWST) will soon open new windows to scrutinize transiting
exoplanets' atmospheres. It will provide missing clues to understand hot
Jupiter's atmospheres such as the relative abundances of molecular
species and the thermal structure over a wide range of altitudes, and
will probe the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets. The transiting
exoplanet community is joining forces to define a coherent strategy to
evaluate JWST's capabilities as early as possible in the mission. In
this talk, I will review the observing modes that will be available for
transiting exoplanet spectroscopy with JWST and I will present the
Transiting Exoplanet Community Early Release Science program.
