Magnesium in the atmosphere of the planet HD209458b: Observations of the thermosphere-exosphere transition region
A. Vidal-Madjar, C. M. Huitson, V. Bourrier +8
We report new near ultraviolet HST/STIS observations of atmospheric absorptions during the planetary transit of HD209458b. We detect absorption in atomic magnesium (MgI), while no…
HST hot Jupiter transmission spectral survey: evidence for aerosols and lack of TiO in the atmosphere of WASP-12b
D. K. Sing, A. Lecavelier des Etangs, J. J. Fortney +17
We present HST optical transmission spectra of the transiting hot Jupiter WASP-12b, taken with the STIS instrument. From the transmission spectra, we are able to decisively rule ou…
An HST Optical to Near-IR Transmission Spectrum of the Hot Jupiter WASP-19b: Detection of Atmospheric Water and Likely Absence of TiO
C. M. Huitson, D. K. Sing, F. Pont +14
We measure the transmission spectrum of WASP-19b from 3 transits using low-resolution optical spectroscopy from the HST Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS). The STIS spectr…
