An HST Transmission Spectrum of the Closest M Dwarf Transiting Rocky Planet LTT 1445Ab by Katherine A. Bennett, David K. Sing, Kevin B. Stevenson, Hannah R. Wakeford, Zafar Rustamkulov, Natalie H. Allen, Joshua D. Lothringer, Ryan J. MacDonald, Nathan J. Mayne, Guangwei Fu

“…The planet spectrum is consistent with a flat line (with median transit depth uncertainties of 128 and 52 ppm for the G280 and G141 observations, respectively), though the infrared (IR) portion displays potential features that could be explained by known opacity sources such as HCN. Some atmospheric retrievals weakly favor (∼2 σ ) an atmosphere, but it remains challenging to discern between stellar contamination, an atmosphere, and a featureless spectrum at this time. …”
