15NH3 in the atmosphere of a cool brown dwarf

David Barrado, Paul Mollière, Polychronis Patapis +40

Brown dwarfs serve as ideal laboratories for studying the atmospheres of giant exoplanets on wide orbits as the governing physical and chemical processes in them are nearly identic…

CROCODILE \\ Incorporating medium-resolution spectroscopy of close-in directly imaged exoplanets into atmospheric retrievals via cross-correlation

Jean Hayoz, Gabriele Cugno, Sascha P. Quanz +8

The investigation of the atmospheres of closely separated, directly imaged gas giant exoplanets is challenging due to the presence of stellar speckles that pollute their spectrum.…
