The optical and near-infrared transmission spectrum of the super-earth GJ1214b: Further evidence for a metal-rich atmosphere

We present an investigation of the transmission spectrum of the 6.5 M ? planet GJ?1214b based on new ground-based observations of transits of the planet in the optical and near-infrared, and on previously published data. Observations with the VLT + FORS and Magellan + MMIRS using the technique of mu...
