Validation of up to seven TESS planet candidates through multi-colour transit photometry using MuSCAT2 data
A. Peláez-Torres, E. Esparza-Borges, E. Pallé +62
The TESS mission searches for transiting exoplanets by monitoring the brightness of hundreds of thousands of stars across the entire sky. M-type planet hosts are ideal targets for…
Low abundances of TiO and VO on the Dayside of KELT-9 b: Insights from Ground-Based Photometric Observations
Yuya Hayashi, Norio Narita, Akihiko Fukui +21
We present ground-based photometric observations of secondary eclipses of the hottest known planet KELT-9b using MuSCAT2 and Sinistro. We detect secondary eclipse signals in an…
Climate Change in Hell: Long-Term Variation in Transits of the Evaporating Planet K2-22b
E. Gaidos, H. Parviainen, E. Esparza-Borges +9
Context: Rocky planets on ultra-short period orbits can have surface magma oceans and rock-vapour atmospheres in which dust can condense. Observations of that dust can inform about…
The atmospheric composition of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-178 b observed with ESPRESSO
Y. C. Damasceno, J. V. Seidel, B. Prinoth +25
We search for atmospheric constituents for the UHJ WASP-178 b with two ESPRESSO transits using the narrow-band and cross-correlation techniques, focusing on the detections of NaI,…
BOWIE-ALIGN: How formation and migration histories of giant planets impact atmospheric compositions
Anna B. T. Penzlin, Richard A. Booth, James Kirk +15
Hot Jupiters present a unique opportunity for measuring how planet formation history shapes present-day atmospheric composition. However, due to the myriad pathways influencing com…
BOWIE-ALIGN: A JWST comparative survey of aligned vs misaligned hot Jupiters to test the dependence of atmospheric composition on migration history
James Kirk, Eva-Maria Ahrer, Anna B. T. Penzlin +19
A primary objective of exoplanet atmosphere characterisation is to learn about planet formation and evolution, however, this is challenged by degeneracies. To determine whether dif…
