      <Title>Exoplanetary Spectroscopy with NICMOS Revisited</Title>
      
      <Abstract>Transmission and secondary eclipse spectroscopy of giant hot exoplanets using NICMOS are iconic results in exoplanetary science.  Recently, these results have been challenged as being due to inadequately corrected instrumental systematic error.  We propose to re-analyze the NICMOS exoplanet transit and eclipse data, including some grism spectra that were never analyzed (over 5000 spectra in total), using a powerful new method developed for WFC3.  We will compare our reanalyzed NICMOS spectra with new WFC3 exoplanet spectra in the region of overlap, and we will interpret our new NICMOS spectra in the total scientific context - including consistency with the WFC3 and extant Spitzer results.</Abstract>
