Atmospheric characterization of six ultra-hot Jupiters from -band high-resolution spectroscopy
Luke Finnerty, Michael P. Fitzgerald, Yinzi Xin +27
We present new Keck/KPIC high-resolution spectroscopic detections of three ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) in the band: WASP-189b (), MASCARA-1b (), and…
Possible stratospheric emission in the warm Neptune GJ 436 b from high-resolution spectroscopy
Luke Finnerty, Michael P Fitzgerald, Jerry W Xuan +26
We present high spectral resolution band (2.91--3.85 m) observations of the warm Neptune GJ 436 b from Keck II/KPIC. KPIC's single-mode fiber feed reduces the band sky…
Dynamical Architectures of S-type Transiting Planets in Binaries II: A Dichotomy in Orbital Alignment of Small Planets in Close Binary Systems
Jingwen Zhang, Daniel Huber, Michael Bottom +35
Stellar multiplicity plays a crucial role in shaping planet formation and dynamical evolution. We present a survey of 54 TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs) within 300 pc that exhibit…
The watery atmosphere of HD~209458~b revealed by joint - and -band high-resolution spectroscopy
Luke Finnerty, Julie Inglis, Michael P. Fitzgerald +26
We present a joint analysis of high-resolution - and -band observations of the benchmark hot Jupiter \hdb\ from the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC). One half nigh…
Fringing analysis and forward modeling of Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) spectra
Katelyn A. Horstman, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Jason J. Wang +27
The Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) combines high contrast imaging with high resolution spectroscopy (R~35,000 in K band) to study directly imaged exoplanets and brown…
Water dissociation and rotational broadening in the atmosphere of KELT-20 b from high-resolution spectroscopy
Luke Finnerty, Yinzi Xin, Jerry W. Xuan +29
We present atmospheric retrievals from Keck/KPIC phase II observations of the ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-20/MASCARA-2~b. Previous free retrievals of molecular abundances for ultra-hot…
