WFC3: Spatially-scanned Spectra of Exoplanet Transits (and more)! ... 2011). ... This work confirms that the transit spectrum of GJ 1214b is both flat and featureless. ... Scaling from the demonstrated performances of WFC3 on GJ 1214b (Berta et al's work and this work), and aiming for a 50% duty cycle of observation, we predict that in a single transit of HD 97658b we should be able to collect 80 times more photons than the total number of photons in 3 transits of GJ 1214b observed by Berta et al. ...

... Complex astrophysical phenomena could now be studied spectroscopically: the X-ray absorption line forest intrinsic to Seyfert galaxies; the interaction between AGN jets and intracluster media; hot winds of starburst galaxies; stellar coronal plasmas; the charge -exchange emission of Mars' exosphere; the X-ray irradiation of protoplanetary disks; and the myst erious flat-topped spectral line shapes of O star winds. ... We estimate that Gen-X will be able to detect and resolve 20, 000 stars in NGC...
