Title: | Probing the clear atmosphere of a hot Neptune |

Abstract
We propose to use GMOS-North to infer the optical transmission spectrum of the hot Neptune HAT-P-11b. HAT-P-11b has recently been found to possess the first clear atmosphere, which made it possible to unequivocally detect water for the first time on an exoplanet. We will search for the signatures of Na, K, and TiO in the proposed transmission spectrum, which spans a yet-unobserved wavelength range for this exceptional target.
