Constraints on TESS albedos for five hot Jupiters

Martin Blažek, Petr Kabáth, Anjali A. A. Piette +10

Photometric observations of occultations of transiting exoplanets can place important constraints on the thermal emission and albedos of their atmospheres. We analyse photometric m…

New constraints on the HR 8799 planetary system from mid-infrared direct imaging

D. J. M. Petit dit de la Roche, M. E. van den Ancker, M. Kissler-Patig +2

Direct imaging is a tried and tested method of detecting exoplanets in the near infrared, but has so far not been extended to longer wavelengths. New data at mid-IR wavelengths (8-…

High-resolution transmission spectroscopy of four hot inflated gas giant exoplanets

Jiri Zak, Petr Kabath, Henri M. J. Boffin +2

The technique of transmission spectroscopy allows us to constrain the chemical composition of the atmospheres of transiting exoplanets. It relies on very high signal-to-noise spect…

Detection limits of exoplanetary atmospheres with 2-m class telescopes

P. Kabath, J. Zak, H. M. J. Boffin +3

Transmission spectroscopy is an important technique to probe the atmospheres of exoplanets. With the advent of TESS and, in the future, of PLATO, more and more transiting planets a…

Pluto's lower atmosphere and pressure evolution from ground-based stellar occultations, 1988-2016

E. Meza, B. Sicardy, M. Assafin +167

Context. Pluto's tenuous nitrogen (N2) atmosphere undergoes strong seasonal effects due to high obliquity and orbital eccentricity, and has been recently (July 2015) observed by th…

A dearth of small particles in the transiting material around the white dwarf WD 1145+017

S. Xu, S. Rappaport, R. van Lieshout +35

White dwarf WD 1145+017 is orbited by several clouds of dust, possibly emanating from actively disintegrating bodies. These dust clouds reveal themselves through deep, broad, and e…
