Detection of CO, CO, and HO in the atmosphere of the warm sub-Saturn HAT-P-12b

N. Crouzet, B. Edwards, T. Konings +29

The chemical composition of warm gas giant exoplanet atmospheres (with Teq < 1000 K) is not well known due to the lack of observational constraints. HAT-P-12 b is a warm, sub-Satur…
