SUMMARY:Exploring the diversity of exoplanet atmospheres from the ground wi
 th the ACCESS Survey 
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the diversity of exoplanet atmospheres from the groun
 d with the ACCESS Survey \nMr. Néstor Espinoza\n\nOne of the most excitin
 g possibilities enabled by transiting exoplanets is to measure their atmos
 pheric properties through the technique of transmission spectroscopy: the 
 variation of the transit depth as a function of wavelength due to starligh
 t interacting with the atmosphere of the exoplanet. Motivated by the need 
 of optical transmission spectra of exoplanets, we recently launched the Ar
 izona-CfA-Católica Exoplanet Spectroscopy Survey (ACCESS), which ai
 ms at studying the atmospheres of ~20 exoplanets ranging from super-Earths
  to hot-Jupiters in the entire optical atmospheric window using ground-bas
 ed facilities. In this talk, I will present the survey, the astrostatistic
 al challenges it poses and first results.
